Stampin’ Up! UK Open Top Bottle Box – Chevron Ribbon Showcase
There are times when it’s okay to say ‘you know what, lets not over egg the mix here’ and when Jocelyn, one of my downline, asked me to design a box for her that would showcase her home made mini bottles of produce, I decided to strip the box down to the bare essentials, and leave off the DSP, step back from the stamping, and just utilise our beautiful cardstocks and matching ribbons.
So here you are, 12 beautiful sloping sided boxes, in 12 stunning colours, all with matching Chevron Ribbons.
Colours are –
- Cherry Cobbler
- Pumpkin Pie
- Calypso Coral
- Crushed Curry
- Pear Pizzazz
- Island Indigo
- Marina Mist
- Blushing Bride
- Chocolate Chip
- Basic Black
- Smoky Slate
- Wisteria Wonder
And aren’t they just gorgeous?

Hi there Sam,
I love this idea! I make little gifts for my work colleagues like spiced vinegars etc and this open top boxes would really dazzle them this year! Only problem is the link to your video tutorial brings up an error message 🙁
Is there another way I can see how you made these fantastic open top bottle boxes? I really appreciate your help xx
Kindest regards

Hello Sam, I love these little boxes you have made and they are so easy to do. However, how do I work out the calculations if I want to make larger ones?
Best wishes
Wendy
