For my project today, I had to make a treat box. I picked up a box of the Milano double dark chocolate cookies in individual packs while at Costco. They were dying to have a box made especially for them. Ok, so maybe it was just me that couldn't wait to make the box. 😁 I decided to use the scalloped rectangle dies from the Sept-Dec 2026 catalog, along with the October product of the month. I hope you like how this box turned out and that you will give it a try. To watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel, be sure to click this direct link.

A merry & sweet Christmas treat box

Throwback Merriest Trees meets Merry Mischief & hot foil
I had the idea for this card in my head but didn't have any current trees to make it come together. The Merry Mischief bundle doesn't have trees because it has a giant mushroom house for the gnomes! I love it so much; however, the mushroom wasn't what I was looking for in the moment. I search my retired inventory and found the largest tree from Merriest Trees fit the idea perfectly. It's whimsical and just the right size. So, I grabbed it, added the gnome, then decorated with the Christmas Epoxy dots and I have to say, I love the way it turned out. In case you hadn't noticed, there's a sneak peek of November Online Exclusives product on my card today. I had to see if the new mulberry paper could be hot foiled, so I decided to give my Starry Night plate a try on the paper. It worked so well! I was actually quite surprised and I thought the fibers in the mulberry paper really add to the look of the night sky I was going for. I created this project during a Thursday night live over on YouTube so you can head on over and watch the video tutorial by clicking this direct link.

Cute ghostly trick or treat box
Today I've created a treat box using the Oh My Fright bundle by Stampin' Up! and mixing in an unexpected stamp set found in the hot foil category of my online store. You do NOT need a hot foiling system to use the stamp set, it's meant to loosely coordinate with hot foil dies. I think it's a highly useful background stamp set good for all types of occasions. The size of this box will fit many treats including fun size, nuggets, kisses, caramels, and Dove to name some. The finished inside box size is 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 1". Overall height is approx 4 1/2". You will find the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

Sending Heartfelt Sympathy mash-up card
Today I have a sympathy card for you. I've tried to combine some last chance items with Product of the Month and current products. If you know me at all, I love to mash up stamps and dies that weren't necessarily expected to go together. You get such unique cards when you do that. I wanted to convey a sense of peace with this card. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Wishing You Good Things swing card
I'm featuring the Gliding Swing bundle from the January Online Exclusives. I love this set and now that we have Woodgrain Wonders DSP, I love it even more! Today's card uses both the dies and the stamps. You can make a swing strictly from the dies, but I prefer the stamped swing image. It has more depth and details than the die cut version in my opinion. I do show you the differences between the two in the video tutorial so be sure to check that out. To learn how to make this card, watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube page 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.

Noel Clamshell treat box using the Festive Friends tag
Hello everyone! I'm so glad you've joined me today for this very cute clamshell treat box featuring Festive Friends by Stampin' Up! Treat boxes and bags are my favorite projects to create, so as soon as I saw this bundle had a tag large enough to make a box, I knew it had to be done. It doesn't take a lot of supplies, as I ink blended the background to set the scene for my little elf. To see how I've put this box together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Autumn Tree Grateful for you
For today's card, I wanted to try out the new Autumn Trees bundle. I love the large tree in the set. With the Autumn Equinox just having arrived, I wanted to make a tree that reflected the changing leaves. This is the card I came up with. The dies in this bundle are so amazingly detailed and you can do so much with this bundle for any season. It will also be a fantastic addition to your collection for making masculine cards. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel and see the dies in action.
