Traditions of Christmas Treat

October 20, 2025

If you have a group of friends you’d like to give a small treat for Christmas, this may be just what you need. It’s perfect for Teachers, Book Clubs, Bible Studies, etc. It’s a good way to show you care without spending a ton of money.

Traditions of Christmas Treat Box

This cute treat box doesn’t take a lot of time, so you can make several in an afternoon. I’ve used the Traditions of Christmas Suite.

Traditions of Christmas Suite

This is a gorgeous suite. I’ll tell you right now that this picture does NOT do justice to the Designer Series Paper (DSP). This is one of the most gorgeous papers I’ve ever seen, and trust me, I’ve seen a LOT! It has beautiful gold accents.

The suite comes with two bundles (stamps sets with coordinating dies). One is filled with images, and the dies will actually cut out some of the images from the DSP. The other has holiday greetings and dies to use with them.

If that wasn’t enough, there’s still a 3D Embossing Folder, beautiful shiny red ribbon and glimmer dots!

It’s a Treat Box!

Traditions of Christmas Treat Box with Hershey Bar

This box is made to fit a regular Hershey’s chocolate bar. You can purchase these in packages of six.

How It’s Made:

Cut cardstock to 6 1/2″ x 8 1/4″.

Score on the 8 1/4″ side at 3/8″, 7/8″, 7 3/8″ and 7 7/8″.

Score on the 6 1/2″ side at 2 1/2″, 3″, 5 1/2″ and 6″.

Fold all score lines toward the inside of the box and burnish with your bone folder.

Cut as shown. As you can see, I cut small wedges on the six end flaps (NOT on the long side flap). This makes the box easier to assemble.

Before assembling the box, flip it over to add your DSP while the box is flat.

Cut a piece of DSP 2″ x 6″ and adhere to the center of the large panel (with the end flaps). Now, turn the box over so the inside is up. Fold in the long skinny end flap and apply adhesive to the outside of this flap. Fold the other side of the box over and adhere the skinny flap to the edge of the other side to complete your box. Decorate as desired.

I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea and cut it out with the curved banner die.

Next, I cut two holly leaves from Old Olive and one from Secret Sea. I attached these with Mini Dimensionals and used the Traditional Sparkling Sequins as holly berries.

Once you’re finished decorating your box, insert your candy bar and fold the end flaps in to close the box.

Storybook Moments Spring Treat

March 29, 2025March 24, 2025

I’m so happy to see signs of Spring everywhere, aren’t you? So, today’s project is a Storybook Moments Sweet Spring Treat that I designed and created.

Storybook Moments Suite Collection

For this sweet treat, I’m using products from the Storybook Moments Suite Collection. I love using Suites because everything is already coordinated for you and you just can’t go wrong.

I call this a MEGA Suite because it has TWO stamp and die bundles, plus TWO different DSP (Designer Series Paper) packs, along with ribbon and embellishments. Throw in some coordinating cardstock and you’re all set to make beautiful projects!

Storybook Moments Spring Treat

This is a tiny little treat and contains a chocolate carrot. I found the candy at my local dollar store in a mesh bag of eight. I thought they’d make a perfect Spring treat.

Side View

I created this box specifically to fit the chocolate carrots.

How It’s Made

Measurements

Lost Lagoon Cardstock – 3” x 5 ¾”

Basic White Cardstock – ½” x 2 ½”, 1 ¼” x 2”

Storybook Moments DSP – 1 1/8” x 1 ¾”

Instructions:

Score Lost Lagoon on short side at ½” from either side. Score on long side at ½”, 1 ¼”, 2 ½”, 3 ¼”, 4 ½”. If you don’t want to see a score line on the back of your project score only from the edge to the first intersecting score line on either side at the 4 ½” mark.

On both of the long sides, cut each score line up to the first intersecting score line. Cut away the four corner sections. Wedge the edges of the four small flaps and the flap on the end. Use the smallest Perennial Postage die to cut a window in the 1 ¼” section. See picture below.

Use bone folder to burnish all score lines. Fold bottom section into box shape. Fold flat on score line just under window. Apply glue to end flap and tuck under, sealing to back of box. See picture below.

Fold in small flaps on one end, then larger flaps, leaving front flap last to give a nice finished edge from the front. Apply glue across back edge of last flap to seal box. Add treat and repeat on the other end.

Stamp carrot in Mossy Meadow on white and color with Blends. Cut out with coordinating die. Stamp sentiment in Lost Lagoon on white strip and use Snips to cut ends diagonally.

Adhere DSP to top section, snip end of carrot and adhere with glue. Add sentiment with Dimensionals.

Embellish with Antique Pearls.

Day to Celebrate Easy Cube Box

February 13, 2025

Today’s project is a cute little cube box. It’s 2 3/4″ so perfect for a small treat or two. It would also be a cute last minute Valentine’s Day gift with the beautiful Marbled Elegance DSP that I just can’t get enough of.

Easy Cube Box – Top View

How It’s Made:

Paper with cutting measurement: Boho Blue CS 8 ½ X 11 short side at top-score 2 3/4, 5 ½, 8 ¼, cut the remaining ¼” off. Turn score 2 ¾, 5 ½, 8 ¼, remove ¼” from end, Thoughtful Journey DSP – Cut (6) 2 5/8 X 2 5/8 and (1) 2 3/8 X 2 3/8. Five squares will be used for the outside and inside under flap, one square will be cut to form your triangles, and the smaller piece will be used for the top of box.

Instructions:

Cut and Score

1. Score card stock using the above measurements. Next, fold and crease with Bone Folder. Cut the top (8 ½) two corners at a diagonal by lining up the score line, hold in place and move paper so the outer tip is in the trimmer track. Cut. This will be cutting the piece off into a triangle. Discard and repeat on the opposite top corner. Turn paper so the 11” side is at the top.

2. On the 11” side cut from top to first score line, move trimmer to bottom and cut up to score line. Repeat this for each section.

Assemble

3. Before adding adhesive fold your score lines to create your box. Add adhesive to the middle outside flaps. (see pic 3) Fold toward front to form the box. Add adhesive to the bottom flaps and fold up towards the center. This will keep your box with clean lines with the folds in the front and ends of cardstock facing back of box. (Look at picture 4 and see where I did this backwards).

Decorate

4. Attach your four DSP squares to the outside of your box using your liquid glue.

5. Cut one of the 2 5/8 squares from tip to tip to form a triangle. Add your triangle pieces to the top flaps using your adhesive.

6. On the last 2 5/8 square add a piece of Tear & Tape to the side that will be glued to the inside under the top of box. Next, take a piece of ribbon and adhere one end to the side with the Tear & Tape. Add additional adhesive and attach to inside underneath the top flap. This should leave you with a strip of ribbon sticking out from your DSP.

7. Create a loop upwards, which will be outside of the lid and add to top of outside box using Tear & Tape. This will be the leaver to open the box. Cover with the last piece of DSP.

8. Stamp sentiment in Mossy Meadow and stamp on Basic White CS and fussy cut. Wrap the Linen Thread around three fingers, twist and attach to back of sentiment with three Dimensionals.

9. Close and your box is now finished!
