I love orangettes. I mean I LOOOOVE them. Little strips of candied orange peel dipped in high quality dark chocolate have to be one of my favorite treats ever! I recently finished off a box of them from Maison du Chocolat and thought the heavy red box was way too nice to just through out. So I pulled out all the inserts that held the orangettes, covered the lid with Be Merry Designer Series Paper, and added a couple tags made with the Merry Little Labels bundle. Voila! A nice box that still has just a hint of a chocolate scent.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
measured the box lid across the top in both directions (3″ x 10-1/2″), down the side (1-1/8″), and around to the inside 1″, and came up with 7-1/4″ x 14-1/4″
Be Merry Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 7-1/4″ x 14-1/4″
NOTE: You have to cut the paper on the diagonal to get the long measurement. Don’t worry if the corners are clipped a little bit – that part will be inside the box.
scored the DSP along the short side at 1 “, 2-1/8″, 5-1/8″ and 6-1/4”
scored the DSP along the long side at 1 “, 2-1/8″, 12-1/8″ and 13-1/4”
cut along the score lines at each short end to the second score line
Stamped with the Merry Little Tags stamp set:
For/From tag in Garden Green ink onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock (CS)
Note: before stamping onto the CS, I wiped the green ink off of the berry parts of the stamp and colored them with a Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker
No Peeking tag onto a scrap of Real Red CS in Versamark ink, then heat embossed in white
Cut using the Everyday Label Punch:
both tags
Cut using the 1/16″ Circle Punch:
one hole at the top of each tag, to hang it by
Assembled the box:
DSP glued onto the box lid, on top first, then down the long sides, then down the ends, and then around and up the inside of all 4 sides
two pieces of 1/8″ ribbon (about 20″) wrapped around the box and tied a bow
the two tags attached to the ribbon with Gold Thread

You know how much I like making cute boxes, right? Well, today I’m sharing a great one. It’s all gold and silver and shiny, and it’s the perfect gift box to give something special to someone special. And it’s really quick and easy. I made it with Year of Cheer Suite and the Labels to Love stamp set.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored 1-3/4″ from each of the four edges
Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 7-1/16″ x 7-1/16″, then scored 1″ from each of the four edges
These two pieces should look something like this. Dotted lines are folded and solid lines are cut.
Stamped with the Labels to Love stamp set:
tag border and To/From in Versamark ink onto the back of a piece of Gold Foil Sheet, then heat embossed in gold
Punched using the Everyday Label punch:
heat embossed tag
a piece of Gold Foil Sheet
Punched using the 1/16″ Circle Punch:
the top end of each of the tags
Punched using the 1″ Circle Punch:
a piece of Gold Foil Sheet
Punched using the 2″ Circle Punch:
piece of Whisper White CS
Assembled the box:
for the box and the lid: cut one score line at each corner, fold up each side, and adhere the tab inside the adjacent side
wrapped box once in Silver Edged Ribbon, then adhered ends of ribbon together with Tear & Tape (not adhered to the box)
adhered the 2″ circle to the bottom side of the the overlapping part of the ribbon with Tear & Tape
adhered a Silver Foil Snowflake to top of the 2″ circle and ribbon with Tear & Tape
adhered the 1″ gold foil circle to the center of the snowflake with Tear & Tape
Metal Rimmed Pearl adhered to the center of the 1″ gold foil circle
tied tags to the ribbon using Gold Thread
Since the ribbon isn’t adhered to the box, you can slide it off to fill the box, then slide it back on.

Mug Cakes are very popular now. I mean, what’s not to love? You pour the mix in a mug, stir in water or milk, and microwave it. Let it cool a couple minutes and you’ve got cake! Today I’m sharing packaging I made to hold one of these yummy pre-made cake mix pouches. I used the Celebration Time Bundle (Celebration Time stamp set and Celebration Thinlits Dies) to make this Powder Pink gift box and tags.

This little coordinating box of jelly beans:
It’s very simple. Cut a piece of Powder Pink CS to 2″ x 8″. Score it at 2″, 4″, and 6″. Stamp candles on each 2″ x 2″ section. Put it in the Clear Tiny Treat box so it lines the front, bottom, back and top. Add your goodies (I used pomegranate jelly bellies) and close the lid. Apply a tiny Whisper White Bow to the top. Done!

On the TA September Blog Hop, we are sharing some of our favorite products from the 2017 Holiday Catalog. It’s impossible for me to narrow it down to just one…or two…or three… But for today I decided to go with the Merry Little Christmas Mega Suite.
There are so many wonderfully coordinated products in this suite, for card making AND gift wrapping! It includes the Merry Little Labels Bundle (Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch,) the Carols of Christmas Bundle (Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies,) Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and coordinating 12″ x 12″ card stock (CS) pack, Merry Music Specialty DSP, 7/8″ Striped Ribbon, Acetate Card Boxes, Green Sprigs, Jute Twine, and Mini Ornaments. Holy cow, that’s a lot of cool stuff!
Here’s what I made:
I used some of the products from the Mega Suite to make this gift box
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
12″ x 12″ Kraft card stock (CS) scored 3″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6″ x 6″)
Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 9-9/16″ x 9-9/16″, then scored 1-3/4″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6-1/16″ x 6-1/16″)
This is the same basic diagram for both pieces. Cut solid lines and score dotted lines.
Stamped with the Merry Little Labels stamp set:
sentiment in Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Kraft CS
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
sentiment with an oval die
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
scalloped oval from Basic Black CS, just a little bigger than the sentiment oval
Assembled the box:
folded all score lines on both pieces of paper and burnished with a Bone Folder
glued the tab at each corner to the inside of the adjacent side – do this for all four corner and for both pieces of paper
put the lid on the box, then wrapped Jute Twine around it and tied a bow
glued the sentiment oval onto the Basic Black CS scalloped oval
adhered the sentiment to the top of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals, being careful not to put any along the center, so the twine can slide underneath

I like to decorate my whole house for Halloween. I even want the tissue boxes to be Halloweeny. The Spooky Night Designer Series Paper with witch hats on it seemed perfect for a cute and festive, yet spooky tissue box cover. And it’s so easy, you just won’t believe it. It’s almost like wrapping a gift. This is one of the vertical cube-like tissue boxes (about 4-1/2″ on each side and 5″ tall) but you can certainly apply the same method to the long, horizontal boxes.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 12″ x 4-1/2″
DSP cut to 6-1/2″ x 4-1/2″
DSP cut to 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ for the top
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
Selected three sized of oval dies, the smallest of which was almost as big at the hole in the top of the box
Pumpkin Pie card stock (CS) cut with the middle sized die, then the center cut out with the smallest die
Basic Black CS cut with the largest die, then the center cut out with the smallest die
cut a hole in the center of the 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of DSP with the smallest of the three dies
Assembled the cover:
Be sure not to make the cover too tight, or it will be too difficult to remove it and put it on a new box
the two 4-1/2″ strips of DSP wrapped around the box and glued together at both ends – be careful not to glue the DSP to the box itself, unless you want it to be permanent, instead of a removable box cover
the 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of DSP centered on top of the box and folded down the sides, then burnished the creases with a bone folder
cut one crease line at each corner with Paper Snips, then put it back on top of the box with the first DSP pieces wrapped around the sides of the box – be sure the sides pieces go all the way down to the bottom of the box
top piece of tissue box cover, fold dotted lines and cut solid lines
glue the folded over bits of DSP to the sides, tucking the corner pieces under the adjacent side.
adhered ribbon with Tear & Tape, being sure to cover the seam where the two pieces of DSP meet.
Pumpkin Pie CS oval glued onto the Basic Black CS oval, lining up the center holes
Basic Black CS oval glued onto the top of the DSP box cover, lining up the center holes
