Saint Nicholas Fireplace treat box

 Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today is small business Saturday and I would love it if you would purchase your Stampin' Up! supplies from my online store.  Just click the shopping cart on the right to make your selections!  Don’t forget the Last Chance list is out and there are bargains to be had.  Thank you ever so much for your business!

Now, on to our 3D project for today.  I love making treat boxes.  I designed these boxes to fit the fireplace from the Saint Nicholas bundle.  They will hold five (5) Andes mints or two (2) Reese's Nutcrackers.  I hope you will give these a try.  There really isn't any stamping, just die cutting and assembly on these so they are really rather easy.  You can run all the pieces you need for each box, through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine in one pass with small pieces of cardstock. To see how I put these together, watch the replay over on YouTube

Saint Nicholas With Joy, Peace & Love

Happy Thanksgiving for those of you here in the U.S.  I hope you have a wonderful day filled with family, friends and great food!  For today's card, I have a card you could make for someone special.  The Saint Nicholas takes a bit to color, so if you were making less than five, you might want to consider this one.  To see how I've put this card together, be sure to check out the replay on YouTube.
