Filled With Fun Birthday Wagon treat box for Nuggets

 I had so much fun creating today’s fun filled treat box!  I just had to make a little treat box as soon as I received this bundle.  I worked hard to figure out how to make the wagon sturdy enough to stand up to my grandson.  He just had his 6th birthday and he received the first one I made.  He absolutely loves it, but he is a little hard on paper crafts.  So I devised a way to allow it to stand without flimsy wheels.  It does mean you have to fussy cut the wagons rather than use the die, but I think it’s well worth the effort.  The project today, was done in pinks and purples rather in the blues and greens I did for my grandson.  I hope you will be inspired to give them a try.  You can watch the video replay on how I put mine together on my YouTube  channel.

Espresso bean coffee cup treat box using Latte Love

I am so excited to share my little 3D project with you today.  When I first saw the A Little Latte Suite collection by Stampin' Up!, I just knew I had to have it and I would need to make a little treat box using the cup from that set.  So, I set out to design a little box that would hold chocolate covered espresso beans.  As a happy accident, it also perfectly fits two Rolo candies when placed inside with the bottom Rolo top side down and the second Rolo top side up.   Be sure to watch the video to see how I put the box together and how I fit the candies inside.  You will find the replay over on YouTube here:

Today's project is a pairing of my favorite new bundles being released to customers on March 5.  I love how this mugs in Latte Love are sized just right to fit this wreath die cut in the Encircled in Nature bundle.   The Designer Series Paper is also in the A Little Latte suite of products, YES, you heard it correctly!  There is an entire suite of products for the mugs! Way to go Stampin' Up!  I'm a sucker for anything coffee, cocoa, tea related and/or wreaths.  So, I had to have both of these!  While Encircled in Nature is not included in a suite of products, it's still fantastic and as you can see, can easily be paired with other products for a unique look.  If you would like to watch the video replay, you can rewatch on Facebook here as I'm unable to download my video and upload to YouTube.  So sorry for the inconvenience!  FB video replay here:
