How to Turn Card Kits into Spring Gift Boxes

March 7, 2026 by Heather Holbrook

Do enjoy buying card kits? I love kits because everything coordinates together with matching patterns, color combos and themes it’s so easy to create quick and simple cards with a kit. But maybe you’d like to stretch your supplies and make something totally different from those kits, how about sweet little Spring Gift Boxes. The creative team at Stampin’ Up is sharing how they used the Heirloom Arrangements Card Kit to create these darling boxes. This collection has pretty florals and fluttering butterflies, printed labels and tags, punch out sentiment shapes, stamps and rub-ons.

Each handmade box uses two card bases, stamped with a subtle pattern and an extra square of cardstock. It’s tied closed with ribbon along with wonderful tags made using embellishments from the kits and stamped sentiments that have been tied to the bows with twine. These boxes are perfect for small gifts for birthdays and Mother’s Day and for tucking in tiny treats at Easter.

Visit the Stampin’ Up blog to watch a video tutorial.
