Takeout Treat Box for Christmas

Today I’m sharing a fun little Takeout Treat Box I made for a group of stampers at my retreat last month. I used the Takeout Thinlits Dies to cut the box out of Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper. I tied a piece of Basic Black Solid Twine around the box, and the finishing touch is a little wooden element I painted with Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint, adhered using a Mini Glue Dot. Easy peasy quick and easy!

 

Here’s what I made:

Super Simple Pillow Box Gift

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:

  • 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!

Toil & Trouble Halloween Treat Box

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.)

Toil & Trouble Nugget Holder

Today I’ve used the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper again (I gave the frogs a rest though) to make a fun Halloween treat bag of Hershey Nuggets in a 2″ x 8″ cello bag.

This is a super simple project, so you can make a lot of them for your Trick-or-Treaters, your coworkers, or anyone else who likes chocolate.
