Oct 5, 2020 | Boxes, Christmas, Gallery, Gifts, Holiday, Treat Holders |
Today I’m sharing some little treat holders I made using the Little Treat Box Dies, Christmas Means More stamp set, and Tis the Season Designer Series Paper. They hold 2 miniature KitKat bars perfectly. I tied the tops with the Whisper White 1/2″ Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack It’s one of my favorite ribbons. It’s pretty and you can quickly color it with your Stampin’ Blends markers. I included one of these treat holders in the BINGO Boxes that I sent to the participants of my World Card Making Day BINGO Party. We had a great time, playing BINGO and making cards.

Sep 24, 2020 | Autumn, Blog Hop, Boxes, Cards, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Halloween, Holiday, Kits, Paper Pumpkin |
Welcome to the September 2020 APPT Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Hello Pumpkin, and it makes the most adorable little treat holders. I used the pieces fro the kit to make a card and a little treat box. My treat box is 4 sided, which is different from the 5 sided one designed by Stampin’ Up! for the kit. I started by popping out all the die cut pieces from their sheets, including all the diamond shapes from the treat holders, saving everything. I used Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but you can certainly use the Dimensionals and Glue Dots that came in the kit.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops, so you don’t miss any of the great projects this group has made for you!

Cut using Paper Snips:
- halved a small banner for behind the card sentiment
Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:

Colored using a Sponge Dauber:

Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the Whisper White Thick card base with a Bone Folder
- faint pencil lines drawn onto the Whisper White CS layer, vertical lines 3/4″ apart and horizontal lines 1-1/2″ apart

- small pumpkin die cut adhered onto the card front, next to the cat, using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
Assembled the treat box:

Assembled the treat box lid:

- end flaps folded in and glued together one at a time to form the top
- a diamond and a black curly piece glued onto the back of a small pumpkin, then glued onto the front of the box lid
- NOTE: Since the box and the lid are the same size (width) it helps to squeeze the top of the box a little bit to get the lid over the top.

Today I’m sharing a Treat Holder that holds 5 Andes Mints. This is one of the projects we made this weekend at our Candy Hearts team meeting. I was inspired by the little treat holders on page 26 of the August – December 2020 Mini Catalog.

Here’s what I made:
Wink of Stella can add so much to a project, but it seems almost impossible to photograph. Here are a couple of feeble attempts at getting it to show in a photo. It’s much more visible in person, but without being too glitzy.
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Poppy Parade card stock (CS) cut to 2-5/8″ x 2-1/4″, then scored 1/2″ from all four sides
- strip of Poppy Parade CS cut to 1/2″ x 5″ (feel free to make this longer if you wish)
Cut using Paper Snips:
- one score line at each corner, to create a flap at each corner
Cut using the Home Together Dies:
- 2 houses from a scrap of Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (DSP)
- 2 houses from a scrap of Poppy Parade CS
Colored using Clear Wink of Stella:
- windows of both DSP houses (allow to dry thoroughly before handling)
Assembled the treat holder:
- burnished the folds in the base with a Bone Folder
- corner flaps glued onto the inside of the adjacent sides, to form the open top box
- ran a Bone Folder along the 1/2″ strip, like you would do to curl ribbon, to soften the fibers (This is so it will curve and not bend.)
- one end of the strip glued to the inside of one of the shorter sides of the box
- opposite end of the strip glued to the inside of the opposite short side of the box
- each die cut DSP house glued onto a die cut Poppy Parade CS house
- one house glued onto the outside of each end of the box, only putting along the bottom where it meets the side of the box and a little up the center where it meets the handle
- This will hold 5 Andes Mints perfectly.

Today I’m sharing a lip balm holder I made with Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper. I also used the Copper Trim and Acorn Trinkets from the Gilded Autumn Suite Collection. This holder fits any standard size lip balm, like Burt’s Bees, ChapStick, etc. The finished dimensions of the closed holder are 3/4″ x 3/4″ x 2-3/4″. I gave you a sneak peek of it a few days ago, in the post about the coordinating card. You can see that post here.
