Peppermint Patty Spider Boxes

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Happy World Card Making Day, too!

My doggies are off to Doggy Day Spa this morning then this afternoon my friends are coming over to make some cards on this special day!

I can't wait!

Today I am sharing the last of my Halloween treats with you!

These are acetate boxes that Stampin Up! carries and are the perfect size to put 4 York Peppermint Patties in!

I know not everyone cares for the peppermint patties but I have a customer who usually requests them. I love them too!

I only took this one picture and hopefully you can see how they are decorated.

Each box has a piece of patterned paper wrapped around it measuring 2 x 10.

Once I adhered the wrapper on I wrapped some Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around and tied a bow. This ribbon is very easy to work with and ties a beautiful bow!

I then diecut my spider web from the Frightful Tags Dies with Black Glittered Paper then I diecut my tag from the same set of dies and stamped them with the spider from the Cute Halloween stamp set. The saying comes from the Frightfully Cute set. I attached the spider web & tag with Dimensionals and lastly I added some Black Matte Enamel Dots. 

I usually try to get my papers to match my candy wrappers and I had to dig deep for this sheet of paper. I'm not sure who the maker is.

Halloween Treat Box:

Stamps: Frightfully Cute, Cute Halloween

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Basic Black Archival (retired)

I hope you enjoyed seeing my 2021 Halloween Candy Treats this year!

I also hope that I have inspired you to create your own candy treats!

I enjoy making these as it's something different than making cards.

If you create your own treats, I would love to see them!

Shoot me an email, please!

Peppermint Patty Boxes

Hello & Happy Thursday!

The week is moving along pretty quick!

I am up early this morning with Shawn because I have a list a mile long of things to get wrapped up today! My Holiday Hoopla Stamp Day w Friends is 2 days away and I wish I could say that I was ready! My kits are ready but that's about it!

My card lady called me twice this week to give me card orders and I have been working feverishly to get them done so I can deliver it to her over the weekend. 

I know I am pushing myself thin but after this weekend I can then start focusing on my own Christmas and getting my cards addressed and doing some shopping!

I will get there, eventually!

So, today I have a sweet Christmas treat to share.

I know not many people are fans of the York Peppermint Patties but I just love them!

My Peppermint Patty treats usually always sell so that is why I continue to make them.

I don't usually like to make candy treats ahead because I like to see how I can match up some papers to the wrappers on the treats. The York Peppermint Patties have red & green wrappers this year with snowflakes on. I found 3 sheets of this snowflake paper in my stash and used it because it matched so nicely! I took 2 peppermints of each color and stacked them inside the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes that Stampin Up carries. I then cut my paper 2 x 10. Scored each one at 2, 4, 6 & 8. Gave them a nice crease with the bone folder and wrapped them around the box. I found in my stash some red clothes pins and a variety of red buttons. I used retired twine to loop thru my buttons and glued them on under my sentiment panel. The sentiment comes from an old Hero Arts set. I use this set quite often during the holidays because it is perfect sized and a nice font.

Project Details:

Stamps: Hero Arts

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Love Nicole Paper (AC Moore)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Clothes Pins & Buttons from stash, Twine (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I had 3 bags of the candy but only made 10 treat holders.

I kept one bag to put in my candy tray for home!

Yes, out of all the treats I make, the York Peppermint Patties are my favorites!

Do you have a favorite candy for Christmas?

Hello & Happy Friday!

I'm so glad the weekend is here!

My hubby flies home today!

It's been a long week without him!

Today I have a sweet treat to share that I made for Thanksgiving.

This uses Stampin Up!'s Clear Tiny Treat Boxes.

I simply took a piece of DSP measuring 2 x 10 and scored it at 2, 4, 6 & 8.

I filled my little treat box with Hershey Kisses and the wrapped the DSP around the box and clipped it shut with the a Silver Clip that was in my stash. 

Then I fancied it up!

The sentiment on it is from an old set called The More The Merrier.

Project Details:

Stamps: The More The Merrier (retired)

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Painted Harvest DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Blender Pen, Clear Tiny Treat Boxes, Silver Clip, Early Espresso Stitched Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These are so easy to create and you could quickly whip up a bunch of these in no time!

My card lady called yesterday to inform me that most of my Thanksgiving treats are sold!

That makes me happy!
