Merry Everything Matchbook Treats

 
Trying to use up the last of my Happy Haunting designer series paper and made these cute little matchbook style treat holders.
 
For the tags I used the Merry Everything stamp set and coordinating Note Tag Punch.



I made these to specifically fit the snack size Hershey bars.
 
cut a piece of dsp 2" x 7-1/2" and score at 4" and 4-1/4".
for the flap cut a piece of dsp 2" x 2" and score at 1/2".
 
Fold on score lines.
Add adhesive onto the 1/2" side of the flap piece and attach to the back of the 4" end of the long piece.

 
Then fold flap over and insert candy bar (sealed edge) and hold tag in place and staple all together.

 
Then fold over the front and tuck under tag and flap.

 
Here you can see a side view and a back view of the matchbook.

Origami Box

Yesterday I came across a video by Dawn Griffith on how to make the cutest Origami boxes with lids.  You can find that video HERE .
 
 
Making one was not an option as I just had to keep trying different papers.
Here are a few that I made:

Supplies for box above: 
 Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series paper, Antique Tags stamp set, Lots of Labels framelits and Gold Glitter ribbon.

Supplies:
Home for Christmas designer series paper, Antique Tags stamp set, 2-1/2", 2" & 1-1/4" circle punches, 2-3/8" scallop circle punch, 1/8" Striped Ribbon.
 
 

Supplies:
Happy Haunting designer series paper, Vintage Leaves stamp set, Leaflets framelits, and Six Sayings stamp set.

Box with the lid off...these boxes are soooo cute!
 
 
Supplies:
Home for Christmas designer series paper, Antique Tags stamp set, 1/8" Striped Ribbon.
 
This little box is made with a piece of 6" x 6" paper and
for the lid you need 2 - 2-1/4" square cardstock (Real Red), score one at 2-3/8" on all sides and put together lid just like in video for larger box.
I cut a piece of dsp 2" x 2" for the top of lid.
 

 
 

 
Have fun making these little boxes.

Grateful for You Treats

I like to put a little "thank you" in the bags for my customers and this month it was these cuties with a small Hershey bar inside.
 

For the wrap around the candy bar I used the largest die from the Lots of Labels framelits and paper from the Happy Haunting designer series paper.  I lightly folded it in half and with a glue dot placed the candy bar inside then stapled the leaf on to close it up.
Just a note:  I love the Handheld Stapler Stampin' Up! sells in the main catalog on page 160.
 


The leaf is made with Sahara Sand cardstock, Vintage Leaves stamp set, leaf stamped in Tangelo Twist ink and the "grateful for you" from the Merry Everything stamp set stamped in Chocolate Chip ink and then cut out with the Leaflets framelit.

Christmas Ornaments Card

Another card featuring the wonderful Home for Christmas designer series paper.
 
 
Yes, I cut out those little ornaments and even punched a little hole to thread the gold cording from. 
They are so cute.
 
Finished off this card with "merry & bright" from the Christmas Greetings thinlits dies and Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set bundle.  Getting a lot of use out of that one!

A Holly Jolly Christmas Card

Here we go again with my favorite Home for Christmas designer series paper.
I cut out one of the little reindeer and used a scrap as a little banner off the side of the circle.
 
 
The words are from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set and Christmas Greetings Thinlits dies bundle.
In the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog there are 15 bundles available.  When you purchase a bundle you save 15% and that is always a good thing!
 
For the card base I used the Whisper White Thick Cardstock and the Softly Falling embossing folder.

 
I heat embossed with white embossing powder the Snowflake Elements.
A couple of my snowflakes came broken so I used a broken one on the edge of the card so it looks like it was supposed to be that way.

Wonderland with Embossed Snowflake Elements Card

I am getting so much use out of the trees from the Wonderland stamp set.
The whole stamp set is great but the tree stamp has gotten used the most.
So be watching so more cards featuring this stamp set.
 
 
I stamped the trees with black StazOn ink on a piece of gold striped vellum from the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack.
I adhered the vellum to a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the 2-way glue pen with dots of glue on the back of the gold stripes.

Then I used the Christmas Greetings thinlits dies for the "peace" and the Holly Jolly Greetings for the "on Earth".
 

 
The snowflake is from the Snowflake Elements and is wooden, which is great, love that look but I wanted a gold one.
Just press the snowflake onto the VersaMark ink pad and then sprinkle gold embossing powder on and heat set.  You will want to use some tweezers to hold onto the snowflake.
