Happy Thanksgiving! Today I’m sharing with you a super duper quick and simple project. It has three pieces: a pillow box, a doily, and a piece of ribbon. That’s it! No stamping. No adhesive. The ribbon is the only thing you even need to cut. You can certainly dress it up all you want to, but when you need something in a hurry, this is the ticket.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Fold in one end of a pillow box.
Fill it with treats or a small gift and fold in the other end.
Wrap a piece of ribbon around the box and tie it in a knot on the front.
Slip a Pearlized Doily over the ends of the ribbon and over the knot, which will hold it in place.
Done!

Today I’m sharing a quick and easy “sour cream container” made with the First Frost Bundle and Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Today’s project is an adorable Halloween treat box made with a Mini Pizza Box, the Layering Squares Framelits Dies, Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper, and the Cauldron Bubble Bundle. the Cauldron Framelits Die actually cut images from the Toil & Trouble DSP! Easy peasy! The finishing touch on the treat box is 3 sequins from the Black Mini Sequin Trim.
Have you seen the Mini Pizza Boxes? The inside is coated so it keeps any oil from seeping through. (You know how the butter can come out of cookies and seep through the box? That won’t happen with these.)

It’s time for the OSAT Blog Hop for September! This month’s theme is “I Need a Hero.” I opted to make a CAS eclipse card using the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Large Letters Framelits Dies. I also used the Sunshine Sayings stamp set, Classic Label Punch, and Festive Farmhouse Elements wooden embellishments. The coordinating Tiny Treat Box is made with the same DSP, and with Burlap ribbon and Frames Elements wooden embellishments. You can give these to any hero in your life.

It’s time for the August edition of the Inspire, Create, & Share Blog Hop! This month our theme is Passion for Punches. I’ve decided to feature a brand new punch from the 2018 Holiday Catalog (which is now live!) It’s called the Sprig Punch and it’s part of the new Joyous Noel Suite on pages 28-29. You can buy it bundled with the Peaceful Noel stamp set to save 10%!
For some reason I keep calling this a Twig Punch instead of Sprig Punch. Even though “Sprig” makes more sense, once I get something wrong like that in my head, it’s hard to remember the right word. So if I missed correcting “Twig” anywhere in this post, know that I mean “Sprig.”
Here’s what I made:

scored DSP along the short side at 2″

cut away the two 2″ x 1-1/4″ sections from the DSP
Stamped with the Peaceful Noel stamp set:
sentiment in Merry Merlot ink onto a scrap of Shimmery White cardstock (CS)
Cut using the Sprig Punch:
3 sprigs from a scrap of Tranquil Tide CS
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
sentiment
Decorated the box:
DSP glued onto a Lustrous White Mini Gable Box
*excess pieces trimmed around the top flaps of the box using Paper Snips
folded in bottom flaps of box, first the long tab with two arms, then the two short sides, then tucked in the long flap with one arm
put treats in the box, then closed the top by tucking the top tabs through the slots on the end tabs

sprigs glued onto the back of the sentiment
sentiment adhered onto the front of the box, over the ribbon, using Stampin’ Dimensionals

The Holiday Catalog goes live tomorrow! Today I’m sharing another sneak peek. I CASEd this project right from page 51 of the catalog. It’s made using the Spooky Sweets bundle, the Takeout Thinlits Dies, and the Farmhouse Framelits Dies.
CASE = copy and share everything OR copy and selectively edit
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Gray Granite card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
Stamped with the Spooky Sweets stamp set:
bats in Memento black ink onto a scrap of Gray Granite CS
sentiment in Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple green inks onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
NOTE: I colored the sentiment using Stampin’ Write Markers
Die Cut using the Takeout Thinlit Dies:
Takeout Box (2 pieces for one box) from the 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Gray Granite CS
NOTE: You can get 2 boxes (4 pieces) from an 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of CS
Flecked using a Stampin’ Write Marker:
the outsides of the 2 box pieces in Basic Black
NOTE: I later realized the sample in the catalog was stamped with the textured image from the Spooky Sweets stamp set in black ink. That’s probably easier, and neater, than flicking ink from a marker.
Die cut using the Farmhouse Framelits:
fence from a scrap of Basic Black CS
Punched using the Spooky Bat Punch:
bats
Punched using the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch:
sentiment
Assembled the box:
burnished the folds in the 2 box pieces with a Bone Folder
2 box pieces glued together on the bottom and along two sides (Tear & Tape is also a good choice for this)
closed the top of the box (after putting treats inside)
used my fingers to bend pieces of the fence
fence glued onto the front of the box, and the ends trimmed away using Paper Snips
sentiment adhered onto the front of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals
one bat glued onto the sentiment, and the other bat glued onto the box
tied a piece of Granny Apple Green ribbon around the box and tied a bow
