Hello everyone! I have a quick and easy treat box for you today featuring the Seasonal Celebrations stamp set. If you don't have the Party Banners dies, you definitely need them, you can use a different shape you already have on hand. You can see how quickly this project comes together by watching the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. Let's spread a little cheer. We can all use some right now even if we aren't all Irish.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Sending Love large banner treat box
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying some much-needed relaxation today. I have another treat/gift box you can use for Valentines, wedding or any time you want to send a little love to someone. I've combined two of the latest products by Stampin' Up! in this project. You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. I hope you will give it a try and make something special for your friends or family. They're pretty quick and easy to make. Of course, you could make this box for any occasion at all just by changing colors and decorations. If you don't have the banner dies, no worries, you can use two pieces of cardstock 3 3/4" x 5" and it will work just as easily. To make the banner ends, cut down in the center of one end about 1/2", then cut down from each side to the center cut to make your own banner if you would like.

Gingerbread man cookie 3"x4" reinforced clamshell box
I have another treat box for you today using the Gingerbread Man bundle by Stampin' Up! As soon as I saw this set, I knew I wanted to create a box using the Little Debbie Christmas gingerbread cookies. I thought I might have already designed a box to fit, but that was not the case. So, I set out to design a box that would fit the large size of the gingerbread man, accommodate the cookie, and also fit a gift card. This box is the result of that endeavor. You will find a video tutorial where I walk you through how to make it step-by-step over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Woodland Scenery ornament gift storage box 2025
For today, I've created a gift storage box to hold the ornament I posted on Wednesday this week. You will want to check that out if you haven't already seen it. I've designed this clamshell box with reinforced sides on the top and bottom so that it won't crush as easily for you to be able to store the ornament, as well as use as gift packaging. The box is sized to fit a gift card as well. You can watch the video tutorial for both projects over on my YouTube channel by clicking on this link.

Cheers to a double flap fold over gift card pocket
Happy Saturday everyone and welcome to my blog. This card was created to be a complement to the treat box I shared on Wednesday. The box opening is similar to this card. Now, I didn't create this fold, I just came up with my own measurements and recreated the inside portion as I've seen multiple do in the past. I used my own measurements so they may not be the same as others. You can find the video tutorial for this card over on my YouTube channel.

Musical Jamboree Thank you treat box made with tag dies
I have a treat box made with the tag from Merriest Trees dies for you today. I’ve combined it with the singing coyote from Musical Jamboree. I thought this would make a cute music teacher’s gift. It can fit a gift card and Ghirardelli chocolate squares if you use the larger template (3 1/4" x 3 1/2") which fits the sides of the tag exactly. The smaller template (3 1/8" x 3 1/2"), does not fit a gift card and fits just inside the stitching on the tag. I’ve included both sizes here, they’re made exactly the same way, using the same scoring measurements and cutting directions. Check out the video replay over on my YouTube channel to see how I’ve put it together.

Sneak Peek of Heart Shaped Just Because I Care fold over treat box
Hello everyone. I hope you like the sneak peek of one of this year's Sale a-bration offerings by Stampin' Up! This is a level 2 set which includes a photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies. I found some Italian milk chocolate hearts at my local Home Goods store and knew I would need to make a treat box to share them in. I designed two boxes, one with reinforced sides and front and the other with just a reinforced front so I could get two boxes from one sheet of cardstock if I were to make a bunch of them. I like to design boxes which allow me to get multiples from one sheet of cardstock. If you would like to see how I've put this box together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.

Seasons Greetings Scalloped gift card treat box
I have another gift card treat box for you today. After making the box on Tuesday with the scalloped treat boxes from Stampin’ Up!®️ , I decided you should have an alternative you could make right away with supplies you already have on hand. So I took a box I had previously made, and altered it to make the scalloped gift card box you see today. It is perfectly sized to fit a gift card and holds six Dove chocolates perfectly. If you find something else to fit, please let us know what that is. To see how I put the box together, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Naughty & Nice Fun Fold pocket gift card holder
For my card today, I'm using Naughty and Nice from the Online Exclusives section of my Stampin' Up! online store. When I started, I wanted a card that was more than a card, yet still quick and simple to put together. This card came about from a tag I made. I showed that tag to my oldest granddaughter, who exclaimed Santa tags! Well, that meant I couldn't very well show how to make the exact card so......I thought about how to change the tag and make a card with it....this is the result of my thought process. I hope you find it useful. Of course, you can change this layout to fit any occasion just by changing the stamps and colors.
To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Gone Fishing tackle gift box
Happy Saturday! Welcome to the weekend. Today, I’m attending our monthly craft day and really enjoying some girl time with my friends. I hope you can find some time soon to do the same. As a reminder, through the end of this month, there is a Designer Series Paper sale going on with selected papers from the Stampin' Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. You can find these in my online store here: https://www.stampinup.com/categories/specials/designer-series-paper-sale?demoid=2109129
Onto our gift box! I designed this box to fit the tackle box top die in the Gone Fishing bundle by Stampin’ Up! I love how it turned out. I was thinking this box could hold fishing tackle for your favorite fisherman or Swedish Fish and a gift card so he can shop for his tackle. I got too sick after I designed the box, to go shopping for the right size bag, so I used Hershey Nuggets instead. This could be used for Father’s Day, birthday, retirement or any other occasion you would like it for. Change the colors, make it a makeup case, jewelry box or whatever you like. Women like to fish also, so change up those colors and make one for her! You can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel HERE:
