It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players. This week Anne Marie is hosting a “Sweet Treats” Challenge: Create a Valentine card or 3D project with a food or treat theme. I took the quick and easy way out and opted to use one of Stampin’ Up!’s Tag a Bag Gift Boxes. What fun I had creating the tag go with it. Enjoy!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Easy Gift Boxes
- Easy peasy! Create a gift box for any occasion with Stampin’ Up!’s Tag a Bag Gift Boxes. I elected to cover the box with Real Red Polka Dots paper from Polka Dot Parade collection to add to the Valentine vibe.
- Tag…you’re it! This little collage tag is chock full of my favorite things. A trio of Pearls, a retired Trinket Heart, and a Red Glimmer Paper Heart add a touch of bling. The gold fibers attached to the Butterfly, were pulled from the Gold Bakers Twine. And what about the FEB 14 banner? Why, that came from an old rotary stamp I used during my teaching days!
- Everything’s comin’ up roses! A Real Red rose bud, created with the Spiral Flowers Originals Die adds a touch of elegance and romance!
Currently, the box is filled with red tissue paper, but I do have plans to fill it with chocolate for Brady. I started a diet on December 26, and have lost 10.5 pounds. I know very well that if I had a bag of chocolate in the house, I would eat it all before I would get this box filled and mailed. Sweets have that effect on me!
What do you think of today’s project? Won’t you let me know in your comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them. And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards I make or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

What a beautiful gift box, Ann! I love all of the fabulous details you added to make it Schach-tastic. Thanks for rocking my challenge! 🙂
I love your project and your progress without chocolate in the house–I can relate! I, too, have lost 10 pounds in the last month by not eating sugar and “bready” things! It’s HARD, but so worth it. Here’s to 10 more!!
Ann, I hadn’t thought about using the treat box. You took something nice, but ordinary, and made it magnificent. Absolutely gorgeous

Beautiful project, Brady is lucky to be on the receiving end. Congrats on the weight loss, it is something I need to address as well.

FABULOUS….colors, the rose, just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful gift box Ann! Your spiral rose looks oh so real! I’m so very proud of you and your 10lb weight loss. I struggle too. I maintain well, just can’t lose some pounds that I know need to come off! Sugar is a horrible addiction and you are battling it well!
The box is beautiful. I’m REALLY impressed with the weight loss. Much success on the journey.
Absolutely stunning . . . .as always!! Thank you!
Ann this is GORGEOUSNESS!!! love the entire concept… so cool. Love the checked background on the tag… the tower… the rose… yum!
Congrats on your weight loss… I just can’t seem to get going and I think the 10.5 you lost I Found! Yipes! hugs.
Gorgeous! Polka Dot Parade is my favorite DSP. Your tag is beautiful and romantic. I’m sure Brady will love the box even more than the chocolates!
Congrats on your diet!
I love this….the deep red rose, the polka-dotted box, the cute rotary stamped Feb 14…it’s all wonderful! And losing 10 1/2 pounds is THE BEST! Good for you!
Hi Ann What an amazing box you made. So beautiful!
Woo Hoo on losing weight! In the winter months it is quite a challenge to lose weight, let alone the cold snowy winter we have had.
Ann, I have been waiting to see how you use certain dies and stamps before I order for my hostess and stamp clubs…because you have such a good eye and sense of style!! The rose die will be on my next order. Thank you for your inspiration!
Gorgeous box Ann! I love how real your rose looks! Amazing! Brady is lucky to have your for a mom. ; ) Chocolate is my weakness too, it’s so hard to control myself. Awesome news that you have lost your 10 pounds. That is not easy this time of year with the weather so challenging. I’m very proud of you!
What a lovely and heartfelt gift box, Ann! So indicative of your style–vintage elegance and gorgeous all around. Brady will surely tresure this special gift. And big congrats to you on those 10 pounds–way to go, my friend!
This is just so beautiful – love all those elements and the Eiffel tower is SO romantic!!
Beautiful. It has all the Valentine elements in one package.
Your tag is stunning! I love your design Ann. What a beautiful way to give someone chocolate for Valentines Day. Congratulations on losing 10 pounds. I love chocolate and most anything that is sweet. It was hard to give up but once I did….. I began feeling better. Stay positive. 🙂

stunning, elegant, creative and Chocolate??? a gift of love for sure!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! And, in addition to tremendously talented, you are oh-so-wise to keep that candy out of the house! 🙂
You created a really beautiful box for Valentine’s Day! I’m sure Brady will enjoy the chocolates when you give it to him.
Congratulations on the weight loss. Sweets are definitly a temptation here.
How sweet! This is so rich in details and I can’t decide which is my favorite detail! Everything has such a wow factor to it. This rose looks so luscious and you can almost smell a fragrance to it – it looks so real! Love how the pearls resemble baby’s breath and that touch of gold – sheer genius! Then that touch of your old rotary stamp is just plain fun! Gorgeous!

Beautiful work Ann! And i feel the same way about sweets. Sugar is my terrible weakness!

Just beautiful! Red, white, and black is my favorite color combo and I love how you put it together. Congrats on the weight loss and best wishes on your continued journey.
I like everything about it! Love those Stampin’ Up boxes!
