Today’s project is so quick and easy it really doesn’t need instructions, but since I know some folks will ask if I don’t explain how it’s done, I will. This little treat is a lemon lime dream. Lemon Lime Twist paper (from the Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper) and actual lemon lime jelly beans match perfectly. And you know how I like stuff to match!
You can whip up a bunch of these little treats, in any color you choose, in no time. The box goes together in seconds. Wouldn’t they be darling on a table, maybe one box on each place setting? Or if you need a bunch of cute little somethings in a hurry for a gathering, your child’s classmates, coworkers, you name it! Just think of all the possibilities!
FYI, a little square Pandora charm box fits inside this treat box perfectly. I’m thinking a ring box would as well.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 1″ x 9″, then scored at 2″, 4″, 6″, and 8″
Cut using the Bow Builder Punch:
- a scrap of Whisper White card stock
- NOTE: cut twice to have enough pieces for one bow. There will be one small piece left over.
Assembled the project:
- assembled a Clear Tiny Treat Box
- NOTE: when folding in the bottom flaps, you’ll see there’s one flap with 2 sticky-outy pieces, one flap with 1 sticky-outy piece, and the 2 side pieces. Fold them in this order: 1) 2 flap, 2) side flaps, 3) one flap, tucking it’s tongue into the slot created by the other flaps.
- put the jelly beans inside
- wrapped the DSP around the box and glued the ends together on the bottom
- assembled the bow using glue
- NOTE: you may notice the fold lines in the bow. I didn’t burnish, or curl, the paper with a Bone Folder before assembling the pieces. Oops! Burnish them, the way you’d curl ribbon, and you won’t have that problem.
- glued the bow onto the top of the band of DSP

These mini coffee cups, or espresso cups, are great for tiny gifts. They’re easy to decorate and fill. Today I’m sharing two different batches of these that I made. One batch of Christmas themed cups contains Starbucks Holiday Blend coffee k-cups. The other batch of coffee themed cups contain coffee flavored candies.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Made cup cover and belly band:
- rolled a cup on a large piece of scrap paper, following it with a pencil
- cut out the template with Paper Snips and wrapped it around a cup to make sure it fit
- held the template on the cup with my fingers and drew a belly band onto the template with a pencil
- used that to create a template for the belly band
- covers and cut using Paper Snips from Coffee Break, Be Merry, and Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Papers (DSP)
- belly bands cut using Paper Snips from DSP and from CS in Pool Party, Whisper White, Garden Green, and Cherry Cobbler
Stamped with the Hug in a Mug stamp set:
- sentiment onto Whisper White card stock (CS) in Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso, Garden Green, and Cherry Cobbler inks
Stamped with the Merry Cafe stamp set:
- sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White CS
- snowflake in Cherry Cobbler ink above the sentiment
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
- all sentiments
- larger circles to layer with sentiment, from Pool Party, Early Espresso, Garden Green, and Cherry Cobbler CS
Assembled the cups:
- covers glued onto the cups
- belly bands glued onto the covers
- sentiments layered with coordinating larger circles, then adhered to the cup lids with Stampin’ Dimensionals (The center part of the lid is lower than the rim.)
- adhered a small Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of the stamped snowflakes
NOTE: The cups, lids, k-cups, and candies were all ordered from Amazon.com.

I guess I’m a little late posting this one, but you can always change the colors and the sentiment for any occasion, or save it for next year. The Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper has so many different patterns, even some that can be used for non-Christmas projects. I used the design with lots of tiny mints for today’s project. And the sentiment is made using the Brightly Lit Christmas Bundle. Both the paper and the bundle are retiring. They’ll be available only until January 2, or while supplies last.
Christmas Around the World DSP © Stampin’ Up!
Brightly Lit Christmas Bundle © Stampin’ Up!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Real Red card stock (CS) cut to 11″ x 12
- CS scored along the 11″ side at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″, 7″, 8-3/4″, 10-1/2″
- CS scored along the 12″ side at 2″ and 10″
- Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 1-1/2″ x 7-3/4″ (6 pieces)
Cut CS using Paper Snips, according to the diagram:
- removed two smallest rectangles, and angled the leftover tab (in blue)
- cut vertical score lines along the bottom just up to the first horizontal score line
- marked along the top side at 7/8″, 2-5/8″, 4-3/8″, 6-1/8″, 7-7/8″, and 9-5/8″
- cut from marks to the intersections of the vertical score lines and the first horizontal score line – this cuts away the green areas
- used a 1/4″ circle punch to cut a hole in each triangle, about 1/2″ or so from the top – you may want to use a smaller circle punch, like the 1/8″, depending on the size of your ribbon
Stamped with the Brightly Lit Christmas stamp set:
- sentiment in Real Red ink onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock (CS)
Die cut using the Christmas Lamppost Thinlits:
Assembled the bottle cover:
- all score lines burnished with a Bone Folder
- DSP pieces glued onto the panels of the CS cover
- sentiment adhered to one of the DSP pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- skinny tab on one side of the bottle cover adhered to the inside of the other end of the cover with Fast Fuse
- bottle inserted into the cover to make the next step easier:
- folded in one of the bottom tabs, then glued the opposite tab to it, making sure the tabs lined up with each other
- repeated this step for the remaining two pairs of tabs, gluing them all together
- ran a 22″ piece of ribbon through each hole in the top triangles, always front to back, then pulled it tight (not too hard or you’ll tear the paper) and tied a bow

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.)
