I’m thrilled to share a brand new gift set that I’ve created using the delightful July Painted Petals Paper Pumpkin kit. This set includes a beautifully intricate Cascading Pleats card and a charming Tall Milk style gift box. The addition of the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper to the kit elements has brought a fresh and floral vibe that I absolutely adore.
The Inspiration Behind the Projects
For this duo, I aimed to blend functionality with elegance, making sure each piece complemented the other perfectly. The script from the designer series paper harmonizes with the florals to create a cohesive and appealing design. I chose the Cascading Pleats fun fold for the card to add a touch of sophistication and surprise, which pairs wonderfully with the simple yet stylish Tall Milk box.
Highlights of the Card and Gift Box
- Cascading Pleats Card: This card showcases an intricate yet easy folding technique that adds depth and interest, turning a simple greeting into a stunning piece of art.
- Tall Milk Gift Box: Designed to coordinate seamlessly with the card, this box is an ideal container for small gifts or treats. To enhance its appearance and functionality, I’ve incorporated the Iridescent Striped Ribbon, which I custom-colored using Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends Markers to match the project’s color palette.
Additional Resources and Tutorial Series
I’ve prepared detailed guides for each of these projects, including templates, step-by-step instructions, measurements, and a complete list of supplies. These resources are readily available for you in a free PDF in the INSTRUCTIONS section below. Also, be sure to check out the accompanying video tutorial where I delve deeper into assembling the Cascading Pleats Card, providing tips and tricks to help you recreate these designs effortlessly.

Closing Thoughts
This project is one of two stunning gift sets created with the now Sold Out Painted Petals kit. Stay tuned for the unveiling of the next set, which I promise will be just as captivating! Crafting these pieces has been a delightful journey, and I hope they inspire you to add a personal touch to your own gift-giving.
Happy crafting!
