Candy Wrapper Treat Boxes, Part II!

I had so much fun making the first three Candy Wrapper treat boxes that I couldn't wait to make more!  I had an idea for a different way to use them and had to try it out!

Yes, as ornaments!  How cute will that be to hang these on a tree or perhaps even a garland?!  I think I"m going to hang these plus the previous three (here) on my "pot rack" over the kitchen island with some greenery!  Can't wait to see how that looks, but I do have to wait until after Thanksgiving to redecorate, lol!

All these candy wrapper boxes use Champagne Glimmer Paper, Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo, Early Espresso, Lucky Limeade and Very Vanilla colors of cardstock, ribbon, ink and trims plus Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine for the hanger loops.   The gingerbread man from the Got Treats? set just fit perfectly on the background punched with the Scallop Oval Punch.  Other punches used were the Large Oval, Wide Oval and BoHo Blossoms Punch.

The two candy wrapper treat boxes above use the Festival of Prints Designer Paper Pack, which makes it easy to coordinate all the colors!

The last box has a wrap of Candlelight Christmas Designer Paper; it has the very same colors in it so it combined perfectly with the Festival of Prints papers used on the first five boxes.  The Champagne Glimmer Paper, Clear and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details accent both the Christmas tree here, the nose and antlers of the reindeer and the buttons on the gingerbread man!

I hope you have enjoyed these and perhaps have gotten some inspiration to use your Candy Wrapper Bigz L Die.  It is SOOO easy as it does all the work!  It both cuts and scores your cardstock, so there is no guesswork in where to fold this... it's all laid out for you.  You just get to have all the fun decorating them!

P.S.  Besides holding candy, small trinkets or folded money, these boxes could also hold very special jewelry gifts such as diamond earrings or a precious stone drop.. okay, I'm dreaming now, lol!

Joyous Celebrations Candy Wrapper Treat Boxes!

It's still fall, I love Thanksgiving time yet I'm thinking ahead to Christmas these days!  How about you? Working on those Christmas cards yet?  Me too, but I took some time out to make these fun Candy Wrapper boxes recently.

The treat boxes were diecut with the Big Shot diecutting machine and the Stampin' Up! Candy Wrapper Bigz L Die!  They don't take that much cardstock; you can get two out of a 8.5" x 11" sheet of cardstock, and have a nice almost 2.5" x 11" piece left to use for punches and other things!

I used the Festival of Prints Designer Paper Pack to embellish my treat boxes.  I cut a 1.5"x 6" strip from the 4.5"x 6" sheet for the wrap.  This means you can get three "wraps" out of one sheet from the pack!  Nice!  And, these sheets are double-sided so you could use the other side for a totally different look!

For the sentiment on each Candy Wrapper, I realized that the Joyous Celebrations set from the 2012 Holiday Catalog would be a great fit!  I've used punches and the beautiful Champagne Glimmer Paper (again from the Holiday Catalog) to embellish each box.

The "Dec. 25" wrapper was tied with 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade to coordinate with the DSP.  The other two were tied with (retired) Cherry Cobbler Ribbon (from 2011 Holiday Catalog) which I still have (and love);  Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon would work just as well!

Here is another view of all three of the boxes together.  

Thanks for dropping by!  I hope you've enjoyed them!  Hmm, I have another vision for these dancing in my head so stay tuned; hopefully I'll have time to get that down on cardstock soon!

Deck the Halls Candy Wrapper Boxes!

Today I have two Candy Wrapper Boxes decorated with the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper for Christmas giving or decorating!  These are so easy to make with the Big Shot and the Candy Wrapper Die... I just cranked out a dozen in no time at all!  It also is so much fun to decorate them in so many ways...whatever your occasion and ideas can come up with!  On the box in the foreground, I decorated it with the Baroque Wheel in Always Artichoke ink just on the ends that twist.

I trimmed these in a Victorian look using Deck the Halls Designer Paper and Cherry Cobbler cardstock "rick rack" which was also die cut with the Big Shot using the new Tasteful Trims XL Die found in the current Holiday Mini Catalog.  This is only one of four designs on the Tasteful Trims die; isn't it adorable on this paper?!

The "Thanks" stamp from the Perfect Punches set was used for the greeting stamped in Cherry Cobbler, then punched out with the Scalloped Oval punch... Stampin' Up! punches make it so easy!  An Antique Brass mini brad holds a bit of Victorian crochet trim and a self-adhesive rhinestone is the final touch!  These are ready to be filled with chocolates, treats or special gifts for a special someone!

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!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope to see you soon!

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!
