How to create a simple holiday and Christmas gift mini pizza box using Stampin' Up! Quilt Builder Framelits Dies - Mary Fish StampinUp ideas

Stampin’ Up! Mini Pizza Boxes (one of My Favorite Things) are fabulous for small gifts, 3 x 3 cards and envelopes (I personally love this idea as a gift for a host) and holiday goodies (they are food safe).  I’ll share the “contents” of the box on tomorrow’s and Friday’s posts!

I love hearing from you!  Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.


STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

How to create a simple holiday and Christmas gift mini pizza box using Stampin' Up! Quilt Builder Framelits Dies - Mary Fish StampinUp

  • The Stampin’ Up! Quilt Builder Framelits Dies are absolutely magical for creating a colorful, graphic design year round.  They are on the list of My Favorite Things from the Holiday Catalog.  Here’s a Stampin’ Up! video with more tips and uses for the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies.

  • The Real Red flower is a combination of two flower dies from Quilt Builder Framelits Dies.  The bottom and middle flower layers are separated by a Stampin’ Dimensional for depth.   Six petals are arranged and adhered on top. A Metal Rimmed Pearl is the perfect polish for the center.

  • Do the twist!  Lemon Lime Twist adds a lovely spin on traditional Real Red and Garden Green. 
  • A belly band allows for easy on and off of the pretty design.  I simply wrapped a 2″ x 11″ piece of Garden Green card stock around the edges of the box, cropped the excess and “set” the scores with my Stampin’ Trimmer.

  • Get out of the box!  Imagine this same design with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla and Blushing Bride for a wedding or baby girl gift!  Here is a previous project (and video) I created with the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies.

  1. gorgeous. the link to the blog hop just took me back to your post. i kept looking for something elsewhere, but couldn’t find anything. could you please give me the link? thank you!

    • Oh how I love your comment, Amy. I like the belly band because it’s so easy to take on and off — even reuse!

    • Thanks so much, Jeanie. I think it would be so easy to change up the colors and sentiment and use for just about any occasion!

  2. Oooooooooo, so BEAUITFUL MsMary, love everything about it ♥️
    Tfs
    Hugs Frenchie ♥️

  3. I’m just crazy about the way you attached that belly band. This is one OVER THE TOP pizza box my friend.

    • You are the queen of 3D, Kadie. However, I like to give it a shot now and then – especially for the holidays!

  4. Again I can’t stop smiling. I’m afraid if someone handed me a gift prepared in this way, I wouldn’t open it. I would just hold it in my hand and continue to admire the beauty of it. The addition of lemon lime twist makes it over the top!

    • You made me chuckle this morning, Cindy. Half the fun of a small gift is the package, right?

  5. Love this project! Glad to see another idea for using Lemon Lime Twist in a Christmas Palette. Using this bundle to make a belly band is pure genius:). Totally in love with how you used the layers to build the Quilt square on the belly band. You knocked this one out of the park, Miss Mary!
