Candy Wrapper Treat Boxes for Christmas!

Here are two more Candy Wrapper Treat Boxes done up for the Christmas season!  These little boxes would be adorable used in so many ways, not only for gifts but also home decor!  How cute would these be for table favors for a Christmas party or dinner (they could also be used for place cards with a name tag added)?!  They could also be hung with pretty ribbon on the Christmas tree hiding cash, a check or small gifts inside!  What about making different colors and using them on a garland for the mantle?  I'm sure you can come up with even more fun and creative ideas yourself!!

The festive Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper and coordinating Old Olive cardstock was used for these boxes.  Each of these candy wrapper boxes uses just one-half sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock so you can get two from one sheet!!

 

The giant "rick-rack" trim on this box was cut with the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die and wrapped around the box over a layer of a different pattern from the same Jolly Holiday DSP.  It is simple but so effective!  

 

This box is also made from a Jolly Holiday DSP pattern.  Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon encircles the box and Victorian lace trim is tucked into the bow.

 

The tag is stamped with a stamp from the Got Treats set which has a number of versatile and adorable stamps, perfect for gifting!  The tag was punched out with the lovely new Decorative Label XL Punch!

This Bigz L Die Candy Wrapper #120890, $32.95 is from the Holiday 2010 Holiday Mini and was used for both the boxes.  You may purchase it from my online Stampin' Up! website here and just click on the Shop Now button in the upper right hand corner!

The cool thing is that this candy wrapper isn't limited just to Halloween or Christmas, but can be used for occasions year-round!! Tuck little notes into it for someone special or fill one with treats just to say "hello or "I'm thinking of you" for someone!  You'll really brighten someone's day!

Peaceful Season Card

Peaceful Season is a new Hostess Set in the Holiday Mini which can be a free bonus to you when you hostess a Stampin' Up! Workshop for a fun night with your friends!  It has eight beautiful stamps, two of which are gorgeous script sentiments!

I used two patterns of the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper, Gold Embossing on the sentiment, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon, and cut out the dove that was stamped on Artichoke cardstock then Smooch Spritzed with the gold.

The snowflakes are punched from SU's Brushed Gold cardstock, such elegant paper!  Tiny pearls from the Basic Pearls are self-adhered to the card.

Have you considered having your friends over for stamping and refreshments?  It's a fun and creative girls time, and you can earn some great FREE Stampin' Up! products too!

Candy Wrapper Treat Boxes!

Have you seen the new Candy Wrapper Sizzix Die for the Big Shot?  It's in that fabulous new Holiday Mini catalog!  Each die only uses a half-sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock and they are cut and scored for you when you run it through the Big Shot!  No guesswork and no adding scoring/folding lines!

Here are a couple I've made for fall celebrations; first is Trick or Treat!  

The tag stamp is from Grateful Greetings set, and garnished with ink distressing and touches of our beautiful new Champagne Glass Glitter!  A dash of the Raven black lace compliments the tie of Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon.

On the backside, you can easily see the Spider Web embossed with the new Spider Web Embossing folder, also in the Holiday Mini!

This Candy Wrapper is cut from one of the beautiful Autumn Spice patterns of Specialty Designer Paper.  Don't you just love those warm fall colors and the Espresso 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon?!!

 The tag is a stamp from the Got Treats set in the large catalog;  so cute!  It is punched out with the new Decorative Label punch too!

 Wouldn't these make the cutest favors for a party, or change the tag for a name tag for Thanksgiving Dinner!  How fun!

Here's how the end folds up, so nice and neat too, because they are pre-scored!!

Here's the design of the fun and handy new die!  It is Bigz L Die Candy Wrapper #120890, $32.95.  You may purchase is from my online Stampin' Up! website here and just click on the Shop Now button in the upper right hand corner!
