One of the Christmas crafting projects we made on the recent stamping cruise in October was this great framed collage with 3×3 squares decorated with a variety of Stampin' UP! holiday theme paper, stamps and accessories. Jenn Gulch designed this GREAT project for us and we framed it when we got home.
12×12 framed collage with 3×3 squares:
OR…
Check out this idea… you could create the same 3×3 squares and instead of putting them in a frame, you could make boxes, bags and cards out of them!
The 3×3 squares fit perfectly on the Stampin' Up! White Gift Boxes… how fun is this!? Add one to the lid, or go ahead and put the squares on all sides!! I have both examples below for you!
Above: White Gift Box wrapped with Presents & Pinecones paper (ON SALE –click here), then wrapped in 3/4" Real Red Stitched Ribbon (ON SALE now, while supplies last –click!). Easy and cute and a fun way to give a box of candies!
Below: on this White Gift Box, I covered the 4 sides and the lid! Really cute way to showcase the Stampin' Up! Candy Cane Lane paper!

I just LOVE the gift boxes…. What a cute idea, Gotta make some…..I love your cards, especially the last one…. I absolutely LOVE the Santa’s Sleigh stamp set and dies…. I’m using them for my christmas cards…… Hubby and I are going to Gettysburg today and staying the night for our Anniversary ( 9 yrs. )…… I love Gettysburg….. Have a great day and I think I will send my order now.lol…..
I have always loved your samplers and this Christmas one is great. What a wonderful suggestion to make extra squares and use them for other projects like the boxes and cards.
Thank you for sharing as always
What great projects!
Patty, I do not find the stamp used on the treat bag tag. Can you direct me, please?!
What a darling frame. Such a unique idea. I love my Santa die. After cutting 12 out my bristle brush fell apart. SU is sending a new one but I see a recall on them coming. Did you have problems with yours?
