I wanted to make something very small for a large group, when I came across Mini Tic Tacs. Well, the boxes are mini, not the Tic Tacs themselves. The tiny container holds about 9-10 Tic Tacs. Perfect! But how to dress them up? I needed something really easy that I could make a lot of quickly. Today I’m sharing what I came up with.
But before that, I want to make sure you now that today is the last day to use this month’s host code (JBHB42YT) and receive my free gift of the month. Click HERE for more details.

I love using blues for Christmas and Winter projects. For today’s Treat Tubes, I made tags in two lovely blues from the Stampin’ Up! repertoire: Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy. I was able to find jelly beans that matched really well: Blueberry and Berry Blue by Jelly Bellies. The Merry Little Labels Bundle (Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch) from the 2017 Holiday Catalog made quick work of these little goodies. I set up a sort of assembly line for these, stamping lots of tags on full sheets of card stock, them punching them all out at once, etc. I made a few dozen of these.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Stamped with the Merry Little Labels stamp set:
- To From image in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White Thick card stock (CS)
- Let it Snow image in Night of Navy ink onto Bermuda Bay CS (I tried pressing down on the stamp with less pressure than usual, and got the sort of speckled appearance of the trees and deer, which I like.)
Cut using the Everyday Label Punch:
Cut using the 1/8″ Circle Punch:
- a hole in the top of each tag
Assembled the treats:
- put jelly beans in the Treat Tube, alternating colors, and put in the cork
- ran Pool Party Solid Twine through both tags and tied them to the treat tube, around the cork just above the tube itself

Today’s little gifts are so easy to make and they are adorable! I filled these bags with candy, but you could fill them with anything small. The tags, made with the Seasonal Chums Bundle, fold in half for a front side and a back side to the image, with space inside for To and From.

In these examples from Stampin’ Up!, you can see how the stamp and die create the whole tag. You can also trim away the little hanger and add the image to a card, like the reindeer here: 
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Stamped with the Seasonal Chums stamp set:

Die cut using the Seasonal Tags:
- snowman tag and reindeer tag
Colored using Stampin’ Write Markers:

- reindeer in Early Espresso, Real Red, and Smoky Slate, then added Clear Wink of Stella to the bell
Assembled the gifts:
- filled a 2″ x 8″ Cellophane Bag with white (coconut) jelly beans

Nov 24, 2017 | Christmas, Food, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Holiday, New Year |
This time of year we all have lots of parties and events to attend. A bottle of wine (or fancy vinegar, or flavored oil, or…) is the most common host gift to take. Make it extra special with a beautiful cover you made yourself. You’ll feel proud to give the gift, and they will appreciate it so much more. And this cover is deceptively easy to make! You can see another one I made recently here.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 11″ x 12
- scored along the 11″ side at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″, 7″, 8-3/4″, 10-1/2″
- scored along the 12″ side at 2″ and 10″
Cut 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 Cheers to the Year stamp set:
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock (CS), then heat embossed in silver
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
- sentiment
- a scrap of Copper Foil Sheet
Assembled the project:
- 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 adhered the opposite tab to it with Fast Fuse, making sure the tabs lined up with each other
- repeated this step for the remaining two pairs of tabs, adhering 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
- sentiment adhered onto the Copper circle with Fast Fuse
- adhered sentiment to the cover with Stampin’ Dimensionals
NOTE 1: I prefer to use dry adhesives (like Fast Fuse, Tear & Tape, and Stampin’ Dimensionals) on slick papers like the metallic foils.
NOTE 2: If you’d like to make the cover from solid color card stock, and add panels of DSP to it, each DSP panel should be 1-1/2″ x 7-3/4″.

Nov 22, 2017 | Boxes, Christmas, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Holiday |
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:
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
