Gingerbread Nested Treat Boxes

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

Today I have part 2 of the Nested Treat Boxes to share with you!

I really like these boxes!

Project Details:

Stamps: Sending Cheer, Amuse (saying)

Ink: Pecan Pie, Memento Black, Real Red

Cardstock: Basic White, Real Red, Traditions of St. Nick DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Sending Cheer Dies, Double Oval Punch, Pecan Pie Ribbon, Red Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Of course, these are my favorite because of the Gingerbread guys!

I filled these a bit differently than the Beary Cute boxes.

These are filled with 3 Twix bite sized bars, a Little Debbie Gingerbread Cookie (which BTW are so good!) and a handful of the Santa Hat Hershey Kisses. They filled this box up nicely!

I'm not sure how many have sold yet since I've not heard from Audrey yet to go pick up the basket of treats. If any of these Nested Treat Boxes come back I will be surprised since they are so cute! We shall see!

So how are your holiday plans coming along?

Last evening we did the grocery store and got the last couple things on my list.

Today I am working on laundry. Saturday, my new stove will get hooked up and Kelsey & Shady will be coming over later in the day. I got a fun puzzle for us to do while she is here.

Sunday, she is making meatballs in the crock pot and Shawn is making cream of crab soup. I'm sure we are gonna be stuffed to the gills and hope to end the day with watching the Jim Carrey version of The Grinch. 

I'm exhausted thinking about it!

Holiday Treat Boxes

 Hello & Happy Monday!

1 Week till Christmas....Are you ready?

I am just about ready! 

Today I am working on Gift Card Holders that Ryan requested and I need a few too so that is on my agenda. 

I wanted to share with you a quick & easy treat box that I made. I'm not really sure what to call it but inside is a pack of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, a Little Debbie Frosted Brownie and a handful of Hershey Kisses. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Warm Hugs (retired)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Basic White, Garden Green, A Walk in the Forest DSP

Accessories: Kraft Gift Boxes (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Merriest Trees Dies, Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This idea came from the Little Debbie Frosted Brownies. They had the Christmas tree brownies & the snowflake brownies. I made 8 of these. 

The box is retired from the 2022-2023 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog.

Recently they were on the Clearance Rack and I snagged another pack of them. 'They are nice for holding cards and all different kinds of treats!

July 4th Little Debbies

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

It is another rainy morning here in south central PA but that's fine with me....my garden & flowers so desperately need it! We had a misty type of rain most of the day yesterday which is perfect for the garden. I seen rain for the next week so let's hope this makes up for the lack of water! 

Today I am sharing another sweet treat that I created using the Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Bars. I found these at the grocery store recently and since my family loves them I created a little box for them. This is what the box looks like if you are looking for them...

Since I created these to fit the Nutty Bars I wanted to share the measurements but I can't find them. I wrote them down as I was making them. If I find them I will make sure to post them. I hope I did not accidentally throw them away but I will look first thing when I get to my stamp table today.

ETA: I found the directions!

Cardstock measuring 5 x 5 3/8

With the 5 3/8 side at the top of your paper trimmer or Score Board score @

1/2, 1 5/8, 2 1/8, 3 1/4

Use the bone folder to get nice creases. The 1/2 panel is where you add the adhesive and attach to back of box.

Decorate & have fun!

I placed my Little Debbie Nutty Buddies inside before I adhered it to the back. They fit snuggly in this pouch.

If you make any of these please share them with me in the comments section.

I'd love to see them!

Project Details:

Stamps: God Bless America (retired), Papertreyink (retired sentiment)

Ink: Blueberry Bushel & Real Red Stampin Write Markers, Real Red

Cardstock: Blueberry Bushel, Basic White, Glorious Gingham DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Nested Essential Dies, Stitched Stars Dies (retired), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The sweet treat just fits snug in these and slide out either end.

I wish Stampin Up! would give us another fun July 4th/Patriotic stamp set. It has been a few years since we've had one.

Strawberry Boxes

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Years ago before my back issues started we use to go to the strawberry fields and pick tons of berries to bring home for strawberry shortcake and homemade strawberry jelly. I always enjoyed the entire process especially that delicious homemade strawberry jelly on toast or an English muffin. It's been years now since I last made any jelly but thinking about it makes my mouth water! It was so good! Recently on a trip to the grocery store I found these Little Debbie Strawberry Jelly Rolls and grabbed a box. I knew exactly what I was going to do with them! In my notebook (which I have 4 now) that is filled with tutorials and cool projects I have a nice sized box that I thought my sweet delight would fit in. So, a few weeks ago on a Saturday afternoon I sat down and made 2 of those boxes which were the perfect size! I pulled out my retired Sweet Strawberry stamp set, Strawberry Builder Punch and some retired Berry Blessings DSP from SaleABRation a few years ago. Here is the finished product...

It's a good thing those strawberry jelly rolls are tied in those boxes because they are yummy! 

Project Details:

Stamps: Sweet Strawberry (retired)

Ink: Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green

Cardstock: Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Basic White, Berry Blessings DSP (retired)

Accessories: Tailor Made Tags Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Strawberry Builder Punch (retired), Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (retired), Opal Rounds, Poppy Parade Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These boxes would be so cool made up for Christmas and would definitely fit some yummy treats inside! I'm so glad I finally tried them!

Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Boxes

 Hello & Happy Monday to you!

We're starting the day off with a foggy, misty rain which they say may change over to snow before this weather system leaves us. 

I think it's too warm for snow so we will see!

Today I have a sweet treat to share with you that I made for Valentine's Day!

One day last week I was bored and was on You Tube. I follow Kitchen Table Stamper on there and found a video she had made in December 2020 using the Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Bars. She made the cutest Christmas box for them. I decided the next day I was going to make these except change them up to a Valentine's Day theme! I recently picked up 2 boxes of the Little Debbie treats at my local Giant grocery store but have seen them at many different places.

This is what the box looks like incase you want to make some of these! I will also add the link at the bottom if your interested.

Project Details:

Stamps: Country Bouquet

Ink: Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, Sweet Sorbet

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Sweet Sorbet, Basic White, Country Floral Lane DSP

Accessories: Simply Score Board, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Country Bouquet Punch, Corner Rounder Punch (retired), White Glittered Ribbon, Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These are so much fun to create and I enjoyed decorating the front once the treat was inside!

There is also room inside to slip a couple bucks in for the kids which is sure to be the sweetest part of this treat box!

Here is the link if you would like to make some...

Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Box

I will most likely make these again because I know my family loves these!

I remember my Dad use to always have a pack of these laying on the kitchen table every night as he always took them to work the next day with his lunch. A pack of Nutty Buddy's and a banana! He surely would have loved this treat! <3

Nuts About Squirrels

 Good Morning & Happy Thursday, Everyone!

It's a gloomy start to the day here in south central Pennsylvania and it's been on the cool side which I guess is better than the hot, humid weather we had last weekend.

As we prepare to head into the Memorial Day weekend they say it's to get warm & muggy with chances of storms here & there. Next week though we could reach temps in the 90's again.

Today I have a sweet treat project to share that I whipped up yesterday using a tutorial that has been printed out and laying on my stamp table since before Christmas last year. It looked complicated so I kept putting it off. Yesterday was the day I finally tried it and to my surprise it was far from complicated! I will be making more of these, for sure!

This is a Diagonal Top Lid Box that I made and put a Little Debbie pack of Nutty Bars inside.

Shawn loves these and so I wanted to make it for him.

Here is the link if your interested in making one.

Little Debbie Nutty Bar Box

I have had the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set for awhile now but did not get the chance to ink it up until yesterday. It came out in the 2021 July - December Mini Catalog and had carried over. It is in the new Stampin Up! Annual Catalog which means it will be around for another year! YAY! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Nuts About Squirrels

Ink: Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider (retired)

Cardstock: Cinnamon Cider (retired), Basic White, Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Cinnamon Cider Ribbon (retired), Metallic Dots, 1/2 Circle Punch (for notched lid), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have customers that love anything Little Debbie and I will be making more of these down the road as a little treat to say Thank You or even Merry Christmas!

And BTW, Shawn loved the box and was checking it out as to how it was made!

Very easy and quite simple! Give it a try!

Little Debbie Cake Boxes

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

I hope your all having a nice weekend!

I stamped a bit yesterday then watched the Hallmark Channel the rest of the day! It's my favorite time of year! 

Today I have a sweet treat that I made for Thanksgiving!

I made some boxes about 2 years ago that held the Little Debbie Cakes and they were a huge hit! I like to have them for my table because Ryan isn't much of a pie eater for dessert on Thanksgiving day but he loves the Little Debbie cakes and will eat them as his dessert! Win win, right!

I grabbed 2 boxes of the Little Debbie Fall Cakes and whipped these up this year. I have a few to sell and one put aside for him for Thanksgiving!

I don't have the measurements for these at hand right now but if anyone is interested let me know I will post them tomorrow!

Project Details:

Stamps: Morningstar Stamps

Ink: Cajun Craze

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil Paper, Gilded Autumn DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Gathered Leaves Dies (retired), Gold/Vanilla Metallic Ribbon (retired), Gold Rhinestones (Michael's), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope you liked these!

I'm off to help Shawn cook dog food today!

This is our every Sunday chore so we know what is in the food Gigi & Bailee are getting everyday! And it's making a big difference with both dogs!

Little Debbie Christmas Tree Boxes

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is off to a good start!

The sun is shining beautifully but it is quite cold & breezy out.

We had a little snow over night that is still covering the grass this morning.

Today I am sharing my Little Debbie Christmas Tree boxes that I whipped up!

These were so fun to make!

And the Little Debbie cakes inside are perfect to go with the Tree on the outside!

Project Details:

Stamps: Itty Bitty Christmas

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Night of Navy

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Gold Foil Paper, Wrapped in Plaid Specialty DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Pine Tree Punch, Shaded Spruce/Gold Ribbon, Jingle Bells, Gold Cord (retired), Gold Metallic Enamel Stars (retired), Circle Punch, Simply Score Board, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I used a tutorial by Erica Cerwin to make this box but I ended up tweaking it a bit.

So pleased with the outcome!

These would make an awesome stocking stuffer or little treats at the dinner table for Christmas!

My son will be getting one of these since he loves the Little Debbie Cakes!

Little Debbie Boxes

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is going well so far!

Yesterday my hubby & I headed out to a few antique stores while he was off and picked up 4 small trees. I like to call these my fill in's to use in between the bigger trees. I got them all cleaned up and today I need to sit and put new plastic bulbs in them. We also switched out the light bulbs inside to an LED bulb because they are cheaper to use and they do not get hot. They are also brighter!

Miss Gigi got a good report at her Vet check up yesterday!

Her extraction sights are healing nicely but no hard food or treats for atleast another week as some of her sutures are still in tact. Each day you can just see her improving more & more! She is 11 days out from her surgery.

Today I have one last Thanksgiving treat to share.

This box I designed myself and holds a pack of Little Debbie Fall Cakes!

Miss Emily wanted to buy these but I had made these for my gang for on Thanksgiving Day.

(Wait till she sees that I made these with some Christmas cakes as well!)

I had a bunch of those Gold Foil leaves diecut so I popped them on these under my sentiment.

Everything else is retired.

Project Details:

Stamps: Mingle All the Way (retired)

Ink: Really Rust (retired)

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Really Rust (retired), Gold Foil Paper, Autumn Vine DSP (retired)

Accessories: Gathered Leaves Dies, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Mint Macaron Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Gold Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Ryan loves the Little Debbie cakes and doesn't eat Pumpkin Pie or Pumpkin Roll so this was something I know he will enjoy after Thanksgiving dinner!
