The Little things stamp set is really versatile, with stamp themes for Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, or any other occasion when you want to give someone a treat or gift. Today’s project uses the Spooky-licious stamp with a sponged Mini Pizza Box cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, and a Window Sheet. To see the other project I made using this same stamp, click here.
You should have seen me shopping for candies to put in all the treat containers I’ve been making. Our local supermarket has a large of candies sold by weight, so you can get as much of each type as you want. I was buying lots of jelly beans because they are so easy to use for this. I got a few odd looks as I put bag after bag of candies into my cart. Someone said I must really like them and asked me to recommend some good jelly bean flavors. Unfortunately I couldn’t’ help them because I wasn’t buying them by flavor. Instead I was buying them by color to match my projects!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Window Sheet cut to 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
Stamped with The Little Things stamp set:
- Spookylicious image in Basic Black Archival ink onto the cut Window Sheet
- Spookylicious image in Basic Black Archival ink onto a scrap of Pumpkin Pie card stock (CS)
Cut using Paper Snips:
- the banner from the image stamped onto Pumpkin Pie CS
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
- circle from the top of the Mini Pizza Box
- NOTE: When we demonstrators were first introduced to the new Holiday Catalog in Thailand in July, I was told to use the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies instead of the Layering Circles/Ovals/Squares Framelits Dies, because they cut through the thick box better.
Colored using Stampin’ Sponges:
- the exterior of the Mini Pizza Box in Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango inks, layering the colors over and over to achieve the look I wanted (this actually goes very quickly)
Assembled the project:
- Window Sheet adhered to the inside of the box lid, with the stamped image showing through the hole, using Tear & Tape
- banner adhered to the outside of the box lid, covering the banner portion of the image on the Window Sheet, using Tear & Tape
- I filled the box with white jelly beans so the image on the Window Sheet would show up

Such fun sponging and jelly bean coordination. I love that the flavor meant nothing. 🙂
