Bee Gabled You Make Me Smile Box

Hello everyone!  I'm continuing this week with my series using the Meant to Bee bundle from the January 2025 Scrapbooking Brochure and combining it with the Hugs for Love punch bundle from the January - April 2025 Stampin' Up! mini catalog.  My project for you today is inspired by Marisa Alvarez.  She made a gabled treat box last week that I loved.  It didn't quite fit the To The Point Label Punch I wanted to use, so I altered the dimensions and created a different sized box perfect for your Valentine treats or for any other occasion.  To see how I put the box together, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Autumn Leaves 1/2 sheet fold over flap treat box

 Geez, I’m so ready for fall, anyone else.  It’s been a good summer, but with almost no rain here in Oregon where I’m at this season.  This week, it’s a bit cooler and feels a little more like fall and we have a small bit of rain.  We are still in a drought, but rain is in the forecast for today.  I’ve been playing with the All About Autumn suite of products from the September-December 2023 Stampin’ Up! mini catalog releasing to the public next week on September 6.  Fall is my favorite season and I love anything leaves so this suite spoke to my heart and I had to get it to share with all of you.  

My first project this week uses a new-to-me watercolor technique that is quick and super easy.  Be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel HERE to see how I watercolored my leaves.  The treat box is a resized version of a box from Angie at ChicnScratch.  I liked how the box looked, but wanted to be able to get two out of a sheet of cardstock, so I resized it to fit.  I generally make 10 or so boxes when I make them so it’s preferable for me to have a smaller size economically.  The finished box size is 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 x 1” so it is a good size and will hold plenty of treats or a small gift.
