I love the art of making cards – there’s something exciting about making something special with some inks, papers, stamps and accessories. Occasionally, I also enjoy designing gifts for special friends. Today I’m sharing a collection of Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes I made with a variety of incredible floral products. Here’s a look:
Each of these Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes is covered with a soft, sweet panel of paper from the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. Rather than showcase the beautiful, multi-colored patterns that define this collections of papers, I used the single-colored back side of each page. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper:
For my boxes, I used papers that are Blushing Bride, Pale Papaya, Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaron. Each of these soft colors looks great with Night of Navy, so I chose Night of Navy to accent each project.
The die-cut flowers on each box are cropped from the Penned Flowers Dies, part of the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle – I love this little die. Here’s a look at the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle:
The sentiments on the boxes are pulled from the retiring Pretty Perennials stamp set. This bundle will go away on June 30 or when supplies run out – don’t wait if you want this one! I love the curves of the “happy” in this set – while there are a lot of great dies in this bundle, there’s no die to crop out this fun word. As such, I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut out a page of the word. I heat embossed “for you” on Night of Navy cardstock and cropped it to fit with the “happy.” Here’s a look at the Pretty Perennials Bundle:
The Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes are really great for small gifts – they are super-cute and easy to decorate (it’s almost like making a little cardfront)! The boxes measure 5-7/8″ x 3-3/4″ x 1″. Here’s a look:
Since I made five Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes for five different gifts, I grabbed a photo of each:
Do you have a favorite?
I accented each box with a trio of Night of Navy rhinestone basic jewels from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Such a fun embellishment for each box.

Love your boxes and I have all the items you used ! So your beautiful little boxes have given me a great idea for where to keep some things that I use a lot ! I love that word HAPPY so I just had to have that set !
Think I will order some more boxes !! Smile !!
Yay! I’m so glad you like the boxes, Sonny – they were fun to decorate. I agree with you – there’s no reason to give them away when I can store commonly used things in them and always find a reason to smile. 🙂
Stunning collection. Adore the “happy!”
Thanks, Mary! ♥
Adorable boxes! Wonder what’s inside? Maybe dental glass?!
Floss
🙂 It’s possible. 🙂 Thanks, Dianne!
All are pretty color combinations. It is tough to choose one. Enjoy your day, my friend.
Thank you so much, Hilda! Hope your weekend is wonderful. ♥
Brian it’s a tough call but I choose the yellow box. Nice job.
The yellow box was my favorite, too, Katrina. It just seems to go well with the “happy.” Thanks! ♥
WOW……That’s a whole new kind of HAPPY.
I LOVE ’em ALL!
Thank you, my friend! ♥
Fabulous little gift boxes Brian. You are so sweet to make them for five people who will be blessed to receive them. I can’t choose a favorite. I love them all. I’ve had the boxes for a while but still haven’t opened them. After seeing these I think I need to get busy.
They are so easy to decorate, Grace, and fun options for storing little notions if you don’t give them away. 🙂 Thank you!
You be shocked but love the purple one! 🙂 So adorable! Thanks for the idea/inspiration!
You are right! I would have NEVER guessed that the purple one would be your favorite. You always leave me guessing. 🙂
So pretty….love the soft colors! My scan n cut is very finicky…….never seems to cut what I want it to! Probably operator error!
Thank you so much, Linda! I’m not a huge fan of the machine (same issue you have), but sometimes I need a little help and have to live with the frustration. 🙂
