Tutorial by Paul Ford

Welcome back to my latest G45 Assignment and some inspiration for this month’s Graphic 45 Challenge. The May Challenge is #G45Gift – Made With Love. Over the past couple of years, I have been fortunate enough to be asked to do a couple of in person demo days. To butter up the audience, I have been making little treat holders as a little gift for them to help themselves. So I thought I’d have a go at making something to hold a bag of sweets. These would also be great for birthdays or Trick Or Treat handouts! I have used the Patterns and Solids from the Spring Is In The Air collection and they made some nice, which would work for a variety of events. Imagine these on your plate before a meal – Thanksgiving papers or even Christmas. 

I have used the Spring Is In The Air 12×12 Patterns & Solids Paper Pack.

Crafting Tips:

• Use double-sided paper to make the inside of your box just as beautiful as the outside.

• Try seasonal themes like Warm Wishes for winter, Autumn Greetings for fall, or Grow with Love for spring/summer parties.

• Score carefully and fold cleanly for a crisp and professional look.

• Add a ribbon or tag for an extra personalized touch.

• Pre-make a batch to have on hand for last-minute gifts, place settings, or classroom treats!
