It’s winter, and a lot of you have snow. Here in Atlanta we had a nice snow a couple weeks ago, but it only lasted a couple days, and it’s probably the only one we’ll have all year. If you want to give someone a small gift this winter, just fill a Clear Tiny Treat Box with goodies. You can stick on a fast and easy tag made with the Merry Little Labels Bundle (Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch.)
Here’s what I made:

Happy Christmas Eve! Santa is loading his sleigh and getting ready for his big ride tonight. Whether you are home or visiting, with family or friends, wherever you are, I wish you a very Merry and Safe Christmas!
Last year I was fortunate enough to earn Stampin’ Up!’s incentive trip to Thailand. The trip was this past July. While we were there we were given the 2017 Holiday Catalog (a month before anyone else, and two months before the catalog went live for customers!) We also got to do some fantastic Make & Take projects using the new products. Today’s card made with products from the Year of Cheer Suite was one of those. I’ve used some of the same products to decorate a small tin with a clear top.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5″ x 4-1/4″
- Champagne Foil Sheet cut to 4-1/2″ x 1″
- Whisper White CS cut to 2″ x 3/4″
- DSP cut to 1″ x 9″
Stamped with the Cheers to the Year stamp set:
- sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto the Whisper White CS strip
- starburst design in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
Die cut using the Layering Circle Framelits:
- starburst design from the scrap of Whisper White CS
- a scrap of Champagne Foil Sheet
Die cut using the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits:
- snowflake from the Champagne Foil circle
Assembled the card:
- notches cut in the ends of the sentiment strip with Paper Snips
- large DSP layer adhered to the front of the card base with Fast Fuse
- Champagne Foil strip adhered to the DSP layer with Fast Fuse
- silver Foil Snowflake adhered to the foil strip with Fast Fuse (it’s easier to put the Fast Fuse on the strip, then stick the snowflake to it, instead of trying to apply the Fast Fuse to the snowflake)
- Basic Black Baker’s Twine tied in a bow and adhered to the snowflake with Mini Glue Dots, so it will stick out from under the upper layers
- a Year of Cheer Embellishment adhered to the snowflake with Mini Glue Dots, so it will stick out from under the upper layers
- starburst die cut adhered to the snowflake with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- sentiment glued to the starburst die cut
Decorated the tin:
- wrapped the DSP strip around the tin and secured it with Fast Fuse
- adhered the snowflake cut foil circle to the clear part of the lid with Fast Fuse

If you’re looking for a small gift that is both easy and useful, this hand sanitizer holder fits the bill perfectly. I’ve seen these online in several places, but I had to essentially start from scratch so it would fit this particular brand of hand sanitizer. Change the Designer Series Paper and the sentiment and you have a great gift for any time of year.
Here’s what I made:

It’s that time of year. Yes, Christmas and Hannukah and gifts and snow…and the sniffles. You can get those little pocket/purse sized packs of tissues but they always end up getting all messed up. These little boxes help keep the tissues clean and prevent them from tearing while fighting for space in your overpacked bag. The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set – it seemed perfect, since probably all you want to do is Just Breathe already! The heavy Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper is perfect for these little boxes – not too soft and not too stiff.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 7″ x 9-3/4″
- scored along the short side at 1″, 5-1/2″, and 6-1/2″
- rotated clockwise, then scored along the long side at 2-1/4″, 3-1/4″, 5-1/2″, 6-1/2″, and 8-3/4″
- cut away the green areas in the diagram
- Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 4″ x 1-1/4″
- Lemon Lime Twist CS cut to 4-1/4″ x 1-1/2″ (I used the color of CS that coordinated with the particular piece of DSP I was using at the time.)
Cut using the Envelope Punch Board:
- all four corners of the Crumb Cake and Lemon Lime Twist CS pieces rounded with the punch on the back of the punch board
Stamped with the Colorful Seasons stamp set:
- sentiment in Crumb Cake ink onto the Crumb Cake CS piece
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
- small oval from the inside top of the box
- NOTE: fold under the long 1″ side so it will fit through the Big Shot
Assembled the box:
- burnished all the score lines with a Bone Folder
- glued the outside of area A (in diagram above) to the inside of area B
- Crumb Cake CS glued onto the Lemon Lime Twist CS
- Lemon Lime Twist CS glued onto the inside of the lid
- on the end with four flaps, folded in the bottom flap, then glued the two small flaps to it, then glued the top flap to them
- inserted tissues into the other end of the box and closed it up
- pull tissues through the oval opening
- the lid folds over to protect the tissues
- wrapped a piece of 1/8″ Silver Ribbon around the box to present as a gift

The Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are perfect for so many things. Here I’ve decorated them for Christmas and filled them with red and green jelly beans. I plan to put one at each place setting at Christmas dinner. I may even attach names to them to use as place cards.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Be Merry Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 2″ x 9″
- Garden Green card stock (CS) cut to 1-1/8″ x 1-3/8″
- Whisper White CS cut to 1″ x 1-1/4″
Stamped with the Brightly Lit Christmas stamp set:
- sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the Whisper White CS piece
Assembled the project:
- assembled Clear Tiny Treat box (It’s easy to fold in the flaps to make the box)
- filled box with jelly beans (I used green and red Jelly Bellies)
- closed the lid and wrapped the DSP around the box, with the jelly beans showing on both sides, then glued the ends together on the bottom of the box
- NOTE: do not glue the DSP to the box itself, because the DSP “belly band” should slide off of the box to open
- wrapped about 30″ Quilted Christmas Ribbon around the box and tied it in a bow on top (You can tell by the topmost photo that I tied those bows in a hurry!)
- sentiment glued onto the Garden Green CS piece
- Garden Green CS piece adhered to the front of the box with Stampin’ Dimensionsals – I made sure the dimensionals were on either side of the ribbon, so the ribbon could be loosened easily

Dec 6, 2017 | Blog Hop, Boxes, Christmas, Food, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Holiday |
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
