The cutest little Christmas gift box from just ONE The cutest little Christmas gift box from just ONE piece of cardstock!

This little triangular box is ridiculously easy to make and perfect for small Christmas gifts, treats or table favours.

To make your own:
Start with a piece of cardstock measuring 4” × 9” and score at 4½”.

Find the centre of each 4” edge at 2”, then score diagonally from that centre point to both ends of the 4½” score line. Repeat at the opposite end.

Fold along all your score lines, bring the sides together and suddenly that flat piece of cardstock becomes this little triangular box!

I finished mine with ribbon, twine and a festive sentiment. No complicated template needed.

Save this Reel so you can make one later!

I had to go bold with this one! I’ve used the gor I had to go bold with this one!

I’ve used the gorgeous Cozy Morning Bundle from @altenewllc to create this statement floral card, pairing those soft pink blooms with a deep navy background so every little detail really pops.

I love building floral arrangements like this — lots of overlapping, plenty of dimension and just enough sparkle to finish everything off. The layered “friend” sentiment and little twine bow add that extra bit of texture without stealing the spotlight from the flowers.

Would you go for pink florals too, or would you switch up the colour palette?

You can find the full card details over on my blog.

Cross stitch… but make it alcohol markers! I crea Cross stitch… but make it alcohol markers!

I created this stitched effect using the @olomarker Fine Nib, building up those tiny lines and details to create the look of thread — without a needle in sight.

This is just one of three techniques I explored with the OLO Fine Nib in my latest YouTube video, and I’m really pleased with how differently each one uses that extra precision.

Want to see the full video? Comment STITCH below and I’ll send you the link!

Golden Afternoon really is the perfect name for th Golden Afternoon really is the perfect name for this collection!

I loved putting this card together using the beautiful Golden Afternoon collection from @rosiesstudio. The warm colours, florals and little details make it so easy to layer everything up and create something that feels full without being too busy.

Definitely one of those collections I could keep reaching for!
