Need an inexpensive gift in a hurry for someone who loves Christmas and chocolates? Today’s gift box is just what you need. I love this big, bold sentiment from the Tags & Trimmings stamp set heat embossed in gold, but of course, you can use any sentiment you’d like. You can also change the word inside to any word with at least one O, like Noel, Mom, Wow, Boo, Robert,… 
This month’s blog hop theme is A December to Remember. We are highlighting Christmas cards and gifts. After you check out my post, be sure to check out everyone else on the hop.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Real Red card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 11-1/2″ and scored 1-1/2″ from each of the four sides, for the box
- Real Red CS cut to 4-1/16″ x 10-1/16″ and scored 3/4″ from each of the four sides, for the lid
- Chocolate Chip CS cut to 2-1/4″ x 8-1/4″ for a layer on the lid
- Real Red CS cut to 2″ x 8″ for a layer on the lid
- Real Red CS cut to 3-7/16″ x 9-7/16″ and scored 1/2″ from each of the four sides, for the insert
Stamped with the Tags & Trimmings stamp set:
- “Enjoy” in Versamark ink onto the Real Red layer for the lid, then heat embossed in gold
Die cut using the Large Letters Framelits:
- three Hs from a Gold Foil Sheet
Cut using the 1-3/8″” Circle Punch:
- 3 circles from a contrasting scrap of paper
- laid the die cut Hs and the punched circles on the insert to determine where they should go
- glued the Hs in place
- punched the 3 circles from the insert – fold under the 1/2″ side to get the CS all the way into the punch
- 3 circles from a scrap of a Gold Foil Sheet, leaving enough room to stamp around the holes with the larger punch*
Cut with the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch:
- the 3 gold foil circles, to make rings*
Assembled the box:
- The box, lid, and insert are all put together the same way:
- a) burnished all score lines with a bone folder for nice crisp corners
- b) glued the tabs to the inside of the adjacent side
- set insert into the box (no adhesive required)
- glued gold rings around each hole
- added candies to the holes – I put one Mini Glue Dot under each so they would stick to the bottom of the box and not move around in case the box was jostled.
- put the lid on the box

Thank you, Darla!
WOW! That is SO beautiful! I love the colors and its so clever!
Thank you, Anastasia!
Candy this box is Awesome, but I must be doing something wrong my lid is way big compared to the box. Help, it is really awesome and I love the colors.
Bobby, thanks so much for your comment! I mistyped one of the measurements. I have corrected it in the blog post above.
The lid measurements are correct except that you score 3/4″ from each side instead of 9/16″ from each side. That should make the lid fit nicely. After all the scoring and gluing of the sides is done, the box should measure 2-1/2″ wide x 8-1/2″ long x 1-1/2″ deep. The lid should measure 2-9/16″ wide x 8-9/16″ long x 3/4″ deep. The insert should measure 2-7/16″ wide x 8-7/16″ long x 1/2″ deep.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
I have not seen much with this set, so thanks for sharing!! Thanks also for all the details on the box. I see me making them for Valentine’s Day or Easter!!
Great idea! Thanks, Megan!

Bye bye, hugs, Durvina
Thank you, Durvina! I’m honored!
Dear Candy, I am fall in love with this beautiful box. Your box is fantastic. thanks for the instructions. I had to make it immediately. Best wishes to Christmas from Germany! Andrea
Vielen Dank, Andrea! Ich freu mich, dass es dir gefällt!
Thank you very much, Andrea! I’m glad you like it!
Oh. My. Goodness! I actually squealed out loud when I saw the inside! Your project is amazing! I love it, so much!
Thanks so much, Nichole!
OMG – these are so elegant and your instructions are real good. It’s Feb. 2018, but I wrote out all the instructions so I could make them in Dec.
But…..the large letter framelets are $99????? Oh no….. My little heart sank.
I’m just now getting “into” Stamping Up – but now won’t be able to do it. BooHoo
I love this and want to CASE it. But, before I do, I just want to confirm that I will need 12 x 12 cardstock for the first measurement: 5 1/2 x 11 1/2. It really is 11 1/2 and not 11, correct? Thanks!
Hi, Angie! Thanks for your question! Yes, it’s 11-1/2″. If you only have 11″ card stock, you can make it a little shorter. The letters would need to be closer together, or you could use slightly smaller wrapped candies and make the holes smaller.
Hi, I’m from Brazil, I saw your photo on pinterest and I found the idea amazing, very creative and beautiful! It’s still a little confusing for me how to make the box, but I’ll try. Congratulations, you have gained a new follower! I will share with my friends from here!
Hugs from Brazil!
Thank you so much, Giovana!
ola como consigo o arquivo de projeto parabéns pelo trabalho maravilhoso
Português: Não tenho um arquivo de projeto para um e-cutter. Eu fiz isso manualmente. As instruções completas estão aqui nesta postagem do blog.
English: I don’t have a project file for an e-cutter. I made this by hand. The full instructions are here on this blog post.
My insert matches your measurements, but it is way too big for the box.
I’m so sorry you’re having trouble. I checked the measurements and they are correct. After all the scoring and gluing of the sides is done, the box should measure 2-1/2″ wide x 8-1/2″ long x 1-1/2″ deep. The lid should measure 2-9/16″ wide x 8-9/16″ long x 3/4″ deep. The insert should measure 2-7/16″ wide x 8-7/16″ long x 1/2″ deep.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
