TGIF! Well here we are a hoppin’ with Kiwi Lane Designs and I have have to say I had fun making this project with Fancy Pants Be Different Collection and KLD Tiny Brackets. I found this cute 3D gift card box over at online Silhouette Store and went to town. This project was made for Admin Assistant Appreciation Day (a schmooze gift my hubby could give to some of the admin support around his office). However, with Teacher Appreciation Week this upcoming week this is an idea that you may want to put to use ASAP.
- I cut the base out on American Crafts card stock folded and glued the joints together and inked the edges. I then and cut, traced and inked the bracket templates from the Fancy Pants Collection and adhered it to the base with my Xyron Mega Runner.
- I added some sticker embellishments from the collection and a button with some baker’s twine.
- For the insert, I lined it with some corrugated paper from Die Cuts with a View.
That was easy huh?! Now keep on hoppin’ and enjoy all the other amazing inspirations being cooked up for you.

Nice design. I started out using the KLD templates to make cards but have branched out to scrapbook layouts this week and love it!
amazing use for the templates! Now I must run to the scrapbooking store for much “needed” paper!
I love your idea! Perfect teacher gift 🙂 Right now, I need to use my templates to make some thank you cards…but I prefer to scrapbook!
I am new to the KLD templates – so still working out how to use them. Thanks for the great idea

Super cute idea, Arin!! I’m pretty sure this will end up in my arsenal for teacher gifts. 🙂
Your gift box is adorable! I am new to Kiwi Lane and look forward to trying it. 🙂
I loooove what you did ,,, I cannot comment ,, unfortunately, on what I like to do with Kiwi Lane templates because,, sadly,,, I have none,,, so keeping my fingers crossed 🙂
My friends and I just started using Kiwi Lane and we love them for scrapbook pages. The book has so many wonderful ideas
You always use the templates in the most creative way! I’m so boring and use mine on plain old scrapbook pages.
CUTENESSSSSS!!!! I use my Kiwi Lane all the time! For layouts and cards! I so feel lost without them. Just took them on a retreat and all 5 of the other ladies had not heard of them so I got to show them off and it was so fun. I think they left a few new drool marks in my KLD idea book. 🙂
I make greeting cards so I’d use the floral templates on my greeting cards. Love the way the “lid” of the box works in with the other brackets on the front of the box. Great job.
Love how you used your cameo with the kiwi templates. I have a cameo and would love to try out those flower templates with it!
Very festive way to give a gift card. I like to use the templates on my cards.

This is such a great gift card holder, Arin! I’m sure your hubby’s office assistants loved them.
Am Loving all of the great ideas. I am new to Kiwi Lane and cant wait to get some of the templates you used.
Such a fantastic card box! You embellished it so beautifully! TFS
What a cute gift card holder. I love how you layered the brackets.
I’m new to kiwi lane products and wish I’d have bought more when I saw them at scrapbook expo in Oaks PA, my mistake now I’m going to be paying for shipping! Lol thanks for showing me another way to use them besides cards and scrapbook pages! What a great crafting product they are!
This is awesome, your projects always knock my socks off!
What a fabulous project! I’m a retired teacher, and I wouldn’t mind getting that gorgeous gift 🙂 I may have to make one just for little ol’ me 😉
Toooo cute!!!! I love this card box and how you used the templates!!!! New follower!!!!
I keep thinking I need to make my own gift boxes and such – so cute!
I just love the way you can layer, and the photo mats are wonderful.
Very cute.
What a wonderful gift that anyone would be delighted to receive. You used my favorite template – the bracket – in another wonderful treatment. Loved the closure you created.
Great gift idea, I have just purchased my first templates from Kiwi Lane and am looking forward to using them and adding to my collection. Thanks for sharing
Flag day is coming up soon and it’s big here in Waubeka WI (home of Flag Day). Always looking for new gift card holder idea. My hostess will be getting a really cute design this year. Thanks.
