Whispers of Winter Stocking Box with Megan | A Festive Handmade Treat Holder
Today we’re excited to feature a festive handmade project from Megan, using our Whispers of Winter 6x6 Pattern Paper. This adorable stocking-shaped gift box is perfect for small treats, ornaments, candies, or thoughtful surprises — and the soft winter patterns create such a warm, timeless Christmas feel. 🎄✨
Megan designed this piece as a fun and functional paper craft project, perfect for gifting, decorating, or holiday crafting sessions.
Rather than describe every detail, we’ll let Megan walk you through how she created it.
Hey crafty people, Megan with the design team here. Today I am sharing a cute Christmas stocking with you. This project features the Whispers of Winter 6 X 6 Pattern Paper along with the Here Comes Santa stamp set for the sentiment.
This super cute stocking serves two purposes; you can give it out with a little treat and when the treat is gone it can be used as an ornament.
When I first saw the Wisper of Winter pattern paper, I knew I was going to make gift boxes out of it. The papers are so soft and serene I love the colors in the paper; the pop of red brings it all together. And the best thing snow drops remind me of splatter, so it is all done and ready to go! I just love a splatter look.
I used an SVG cut file to create the stocking shape and cuff, this is something that could be done by hand or with a stocking die if you have one in your stash. But I don't so I used a cut file for my Silhouette. Once all the pieces were cut out, I used Iced Spruced Distress Oxide ink to ink the edges of the pattern paper. Then I inked up the cuff with Walnut Stain Distress ink to give it a bit more pop.
I dug way into the back of my stash and found some dies in my stash to cut the berries and leaves. I used the solid colors from the Whispers of Winter pattern paper pack. Then I used a glue pen to add a bit of glitter. Anything Christmas related should have sparkle!
I used the Season's Greeting sentiment from the Here Comes Santa stamp set. I added a layer of red paper behind my sentiment, this isn't necessary, but I love a layered sentiment!
To make this stocking multi-purpose I added a white ribbon to make it a hanging ornament.
