Gingerbread House Teapot Gift Box

During one of the hottest weeks of the year so far, here I am thinking about Christmas!

I had such lovely feedback following the launch of my Cottage Teapot Box design last month that I decided to continue with the house-shaped theme and create one in the style of a classic gingerbread house!

If you're ready to sprinkle some early Christmas magic, then these charming little boxes are perfect to make for table favours, teacher gifts or seasonal home decor. Fill them with sweet treats or small gifts and they're guaranteed to deliver warm memories to anyone who receives one!

Pot of Gold / Cauldron Teapot Box

It's time for another teapot favour box design and, although we're nowhere near Halloween, I've created this one in the form of a witch's cauldron!

But then, with St. Patrick's Day on the horizon, I thought it would also work well as a lucky pot of gold!

Present Gift Card Holder

Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to buy someone special as a gift, and so you opt for a gift card. But how can you elevate your choice of gift into something fun and memorable? By making your very own cute gift card holder, of course! 🎁

Disguised as a wrapped present, this interactive gift card holder is super easy to assemble and will undoubtedly bring an element of surprise to your gift recipient! 🎁

Christmas Tree Teapot Box

It's time for another teapot favour box design and this time I've created one in the style of a Christmas Tree! 🎄

Doesn't it look amazing! With a shiny star on the top and lots of decorations to add on, you can really go to town with this design, using any colour scheme of your choice! 

Cupcake Favour Boxes

I've given my cupcake favour box photos a little makeover! I originally designed the box to complement my teapot favour box and my teacup and saucer but felt that the photos didn't match. So, here they are!

The boxes are super cute and the template is easy to assemble and, once they are filled with delicious treats or small gifts, they make the perfect addition to any tea party or celebration! 🧁

Teapot Favour Box Tutorial

I recently updated my Teapot Favour Box template so that a larger sized box can be made on a 12"x  12" cutting mat. To complement this, I have also updated my video assembly tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

With a removable lid, this adorable little teapot box can be filled to the brim with sweets or small treats and makes an ideal gift for any tea-lover! Perfect for birthday parties, wedding favours, Mother's day gifts, tea parties and so much more!

Black Cat Favour Box

Following on from my previous post, where I introduced you to my Tabby Cat Favour Boxes, I have now made a Black Cat version - perfect for Halloween treats!

Easy to assemble, you can make the cat head box in any colour you wish (it doesn't have to be black) and adapt the colour of the eyes, nose and whiskers to match! Ideal as little table favours or for a cat-themed party, you can fill them with sweets, chocolates or small gifts.

Available from my Etsy shop, the template comes as an SVG cut file, as well as a PDF if you prefer to cut out by hand. 

PLUS you get an optional extra white face patch to create a bi-colour cat face, like a tuxedo cat!

To make one of these cat boxes, you will need:

* Black Cat Favour Box template (SVG and PDF available)

* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates and instructions

* Double-sided, textured cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)

* Craft glue / double-sided tape

If you are not using a digital cutting machine, you will also need:

* Craft knife / scissors

* Scoring tool

* Ruler

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the box and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : After gluing the side panels on, gently curve the sides using your fingers or a bone folder before the glue dries. This will make assembling the box much easier and give it a neater finish.

TIP 2 : Instead of using plain black cardstock on the side panels, why not use a spooky halloween patterned paper! Here I've used a spider web design on the box on the left.

TIP 3 : Make sure that the (grey) whiskers / mouth panel and the (black) eyes panel completely cover the cut out sections. They should line up like this:

The cat box measures approximately 11cm (W) x 9.5cm (H) x 4cm (D)  /  4.3" (W) x 3.74" (H) x 1.6" (D), however, this is only meant as a guide, as the templates can easily be re-sized to suit your needs.

I hope that I have now inspired you to create your own little cat favour boxes (whether black or tabby) and I can't wait to see what you fill them with!

Layered Butterflies

My Butterfly Favour Bag has been hugely popular recently and I've had several people ask if I have any other butterfly designs that could be added to the bag.

This is something that I'd considered doing when I designed the first one and so, as I loved doing it, I have designed three more!

The first one (that comes with the bag) is a likeness of a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the others are likenesses of a Peacock, a Monarch and a Speckled Wood butterfly.

I have the whole set of four butterflies available in my Etsy shop as SVG cut files as well PDFs if you prefer to cut out by hand.

They are so delightfully versatile and, as well as adding them to the favour bags, they can be used for all sorts of different papercraft projects.

Here I've used two of them on a greeting card. 

The butterflies are super easy to assemble (consisting of only two layers) and look amazing with the top layer cut out of mirror card.

I can't wait to see what you use them for! 🦋

Happy crafting

Christmas Jumper Gift Tags!

Following on from when I introduced you to my Christmas Jumper Favour Boxes, I have created some super cute Christmas gift tags using the same template!

Chocolate Orange Pumpkin!

I recently updated all six of my Pumpkin Teapot Box templates so that they can now be made in a larger size on a 12" x 12" cutting mat. The best thing about this update, is that they are now large enough to hold a chocolate orange! 🎃

Can you see it?

I added some black features to the chocolate orange wrapper to match the teapot face and you can just about see it through the cut out face pieces, so it would still be a bit of a surprise as to what treat was hiding inside!

And here it is, out of hiding!

Graduation Gown Box

These fabulous Graduation Gown Boxes are perfect for any academic celebration and can be filled with small treats or congratulatory messages! 🎓 They are also designed to hold a gift card!

They can be made in two different ways - with a shirt (and optional tie) or with a round necked top!

Bee Hive Favour Box

After making my graduation star box, I kept looking at the shape of it and soon realized that it looked just like a bee hive! So, without too much alteration, I now have a template for a bee hive box!

It's held closed with a length of raffia (or you could use ribbon), and once it's released, the box opens like an explosion of bees to reveal the gift inside!

Patterned Jumper Boxes

Following on from my Christmas jumper favour boxes, I have now created a slightly different template, so that you can use your own patterned cardstock (including directional patterns) to create some truly original jumper designs!

Perfect for gifting sweets or small treats, these adorable little boxes are also designed to hold a gift card! You can find the templates in my Etsy shop available as both SVG and PDF.

3D Papercraft Watering Can

Following on from my previous post, where I introduced you to my hexagonal florist box, I decided to use the main design of the box and turn it into a watering can!
