YEAR OF CHEER TOFFEE TREAT BOXES


Hello, good morning everyone!
Today I’m excited to share these gorgeous treat boxes with you.
The treat boxes feature a few stunning products from the Year of Cheer suite!
 
Each treat box is filled with Bonbons (chewy toffee bites, coated in icing sugar),
I’ll be giving these little boxes to the darling girls at work as a little end of year treat!

 
To begin I assembled all the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes, these are super easy to make!
These boxes come flat packed but are very easy to assemble, even for a beginner.
 
The copper belly bands are made from the Year Of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper,
I’ve used the Stampin’ Trimmer to cut down the paper strips to 6” long by 1 ½ “ wide each.
 
Each box is then tied with Whisper White 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon around the belly band,
This adds a neutral touch to that busy copper foil design and holds everything firmly in place.

 
Next using Silver Glimmer Paper I’ve die cut two pine sprigs using the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies
and the Big Shot, die cutting machine to make light work of the task. I’ve then attached
these to the top of the belly bands with Snail Adhesive, placing the stems under the bow.
 
The cute little tag sentiment comes from the Cheers To The Year Clear Mount Stamp Set,
I've stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink onto some Basic Gray Cardstock before
using the Heat Tool to heat emboss the sentiment in White Stampin' Emboss Powder.

 
To create the tags I’ve die cut out the sentiments using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies.
I’ve then used the 1/8" Circle Handheld Punch to create the tag holes for tying each tag,
I chose to use some retired Silver Cording Trim to attach each tag to the treat boxes.
 
This is such a beautiful suite with so many stunning creative possibilities. 
Have a lovely week and thanks so much for stopping by!

SMARTIES MINI TREAT BOXES


Hello, welcome back everyone!
Today I have a simple gift packaging idea to share with you all,
These little treat boxes make perfect last minute treat ideas for Christmas.
 
Today’s project features a childhood favourite, Smarties Mini Treat Boxes!
I’ve wrapped up a bunch of these to hand out to the kids on Christmas day.

 
The base of the packaging is made with the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper,
Using the Stampin' Trimmer to cut and score the paper to complete my box cover template.
 
The adorable little sentiment comes from the Cheers To The Year Clear Mount Stamp Set,
I've stamped the sentiment with Basic Black Archival Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.
I’ve then used the Layering Circle Framelits Dies to die cut out the sentiment.
 
To add some sparkle to the project, I’ve used Silver Glimmer Paper to die cut a pine sprig,
The sprig was made with the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies and the Big Shot, die cutting machine.

 
To add a pop of colour to the treat box I’ve used the versatile Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies,
Die cutting the cute little deer out of Old Olive Cardstock, you’ll be seeing this little guy a lot!
 
Putting the treat box together was simple, I wrapped my box with my template made from the
Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper, adhering the flaps down with Tear & Tape Adhesive.
 
I added a small amount of Tear & Tape Adhesive to the back of the sentiment circle to attach the
Silver Mini Sequin Trim, before adding a few Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. This added a nice pop
of dimension to the treat box so it wasn’t completely flat.

 
I then used Snail Adhesive to adhere the silver pine sprig to the box and lastly I popped
the deer up with a Mini Stampin' Dimensionals so it was the same height as the sentiment.
 
To finish the box off I added a little silver star from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack.
 
I hope you enjoyed this simple gift packing idea.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
