Pretty Packaging for a Gift Card
It’s been a while since I’ve posted pictures on a project just because I made it (with no tutorial). Well, today you can enjoy this pretty packaging for a gift card. I made this suitcase box to hold a Costco Cash Card we gave as a wedding gift.
I found this great suitcase box from Snapdragon Snippets in the Silhouette Design Store, and it is just perfect! I only changed the colors and the tag. You can find Jodi’s assembly tutorial for this suitcase box HERE.
This project gave me a chance to play with my Silhouette CAMEO® 3 and Silhouette faux leather paper. I changed the tag to include an appropriate wedding phrase, which I sketched with a black sketch pen on linen paper, and then I colored inside a portion of the phrase with a red Tombow dual brush pen.
You may have noticed that the straps are a little short on the front of the box. I was running late for the reception and didn’t have time to re-cut the straps. I think that when wetting down and crumpling and then letting the faux leather paper dry, it may have shortened those long pieces. Next time I’ll cut them a little longer.
But look at the texture of this faux leather paper! It’s so perfect for this suitcase. I did add a little shading with a brown chalk inkpad to add to the depth and texture. Such fun details are included on this clever box design!
It’s still wedding season, so maybe if you’re giving a gift card (or cash) you’ll want to try this suitcase as a pretty packaging idea. ♥

Awesome gift box project, hugs, Lori m
Thanks, Lori! 🙂
Kelly, so is so cute. This could be used for many occasions. Thanks for sharing the project. It would make a nice graduation gift. I have two senior grandchildren graduating in June and two the following year.
Kelly, have you seen a Silhouette file of a slider card with the slider being the shape of a rainbow any place?
I bought Lori’s slider card from the shop but could not figure out how to change the lines to make it work for me.

Thanks, Lora! Have you not received my emails about the slider card? I’m sorry my blog email doesn’t seem to be working very well. I’ll send my notes again from a different email address.
No Kelly I have not received any of your e-mails. My address IS THE AOL address. I empty my spam daily and you have not been hiding in there either.
Lora, I just sent a copy of my last email to you from a different email address, so it should get to you this time. I attached a Studio file I created that will hopefully be what you need. Sorry if it seemed like I was ignoring you!
This is such a nice way to present a wedding gift, I love it! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Marilyn!
Kelly, as usual, you have taken our design to a new, wonderfully creative level, and made it look super indeed. Great idea for a wedding gift, and love your original tag! Hope you keep finding our designs useful! (Jodi from the SnapDragon Snippets team.
I always do, Jodi! I’m glad you like what I did with this design. It was a pleasure to work with, as usual!
