🎄✨ Modern Christmas Treat Box & Gift Card Holder

 Hi Friends!

Today’s project is a stylish and elegant treat box created with the Modern Christmas Suite. This little beauty is perfect for holiday gifting — it’s a great size for sweet treats, mini goodies, or even a gift card tucked inside.

I’ll walk you through the full assembly during the video tutorial, showing you how to combine the bold black-and-gold palette with the festive tree die and the stitched label shapes to create a polished, high-end look.

It’s a quick project, but it packs a big “wow” factor — ideal for neighbours, coworkers, stocking stuffers, or table gifts during the holidays.

The box measurements are: 9-1/8 x 5-5/8 score at 1-1/8, 4, 5-1/8, 8 turn and score at 1-1/8 and 4-1/2

I received this box from my friend Leanne Livingstone, one of my roomies in Las Vegas at the recent Stampin' Up! Leader's conference. Isn't it awesome!

12 Weeks of Christmas Projects - Week #6. Introducing a great treat holder complete with video tutorial just for you.

Hi Friends!

Do you use Treat Holders in your gift giving?

I certainly do. I love to spoil my Monthly Stamping Club and Craft Room Stampers Team with gifties every once in a while.

This one by Kim Meyers, is perfect to add some chocolate too, or let you imagination go and fill it with something curated for the recipient! 

I shared how to create this wonderful treat holder during my YouTube Live demonstration on Tuesday night (8 pm Pacific Time). Then we went on and I showed how to custom create other treat holders the same way for different sized treats. It's SO EASY!

Watch the video to see what I put inside it when it was done, and what bundle I used to complete the box.

Snowman Punchie Christmas Treats

Another item I made for the Craft Fair was these super cute Santa Punchie 1x8 Treat Bags with Christmas Peanut M&Ms in them.

I don't know who originated them, I got the Santa Punchie dude from my friend Mi Ran in Victoria this summer.  I visited her and we had an entire day of stampin' fun!  These went quite quickly in the Craft Fair.  I will be restarting my Punchie Classes in January and this is one we will be doing.  Never to early to get ready for next Christmas!
Happy Stampin' .....

Real Red Stocking Treat Holder

As promised, I am back with my second Holiday Stocking project.  Today's project is a Treat Holder.  I created the candy canes out of cardstock using the Stocking Accent Die as I could not find candy canes in the stores yet!  I know, bizarre.  Maybe I just went to the wrong stores.....

I created a double stocking (adhered together around the outside using my multi purpose liquid glue - Tombo) leaving the top open to slide in the treats.  I really used the Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz on this one, I blinged everything!

Customer Appreciation Month Treats

For the past 3 years I have dedicated the month of November as my Customer Appreciation Month.  All month long my stampin' ladies can earn entries into my "Freebie Draw".  Each attendee to my classes get specially wrapped Hershey Nuggets.  Today I am sharing with you my basket of wrapped treats all ready for my first November class  ....

I use retired DSP and wrap each nugget individually. I find it a great way to use up those small bits of paper I seem to accumulate.  Most pieces measure 1" x 3".  I only put adhesive on the DSP and adhere it together, none of the adhesive touches the nugget wrapper itself.  I have more to wrap, but this is a start!

Happy Halloween - Kinder Egg Treat Holder

We just got back from spending Halloween Trick or Treating with our very special Grandsons.  Although Cameron is only 3 days old, he had a costume as well.  So cute, it was a pumpkin baby sleeper!  James dressed up as a Fireman and his Dad and I took him out trick or treating.  His bag got full real fast, and when it was too heavy for him to carry, we headed home for some Grampa time.  Then I got to have some special Cameron cuddles.  Oh I love that new baby smell!
Anyways, before we went over I whipped up a holder for two Kinder Eggs I got for James. He has not had them yet, so I wanted it to be special. Here is what I came up with .....

He was so excited when he saw it because it had his name on it.  Although he is just over 3 yrs old, he can read and write his own name and he knows all the alphabet and can count over 20.  Sorry, got off track there a bit!

I used the box the eggs came in as a template to create the holder.  I am planning on getting a tutorial together over the next few days for you.  I took lots of pictures!  This would be awesome for Christmas as well.  Next time Cameron will be old enough I can do one for him too.

Christmas Gift Card Treat Holder

As promised yesterday, I am back with a Christmas Treat Holder for Christmas.  I added a bit extra to this one, it is also a Gift Card Holder.  Recently in a demo only swap I received an awesome Gift Card Holder from a very talented Vancouver Island Demonstrator, Susan Easter.  I took her idea and some of her embellishments and created my own Gift Card Holder, and added the 1"x8" Cellophane Bag full of M&Ms to go with it.  A bit of ribbon on the back and this could hang quite nicely in a Christmas tree or on the mantle ....

Isn't this the cutest gift card holder ever?  To make the bow loops on the top, you first punch a small oval (retired now, but wouldn't it be nice if Stampin' Up! brought it back????), then punch a large oval around the hole made by the small oval punch.
Stamps:  Serene Snowflakes, Tags Till Christmas
Ink:  Real Red, Early Espresso
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Real Red, Red Glimmer
Punches:  Large and Small Oval, Scallop Oval, Decorative Label
Other:  Sticky  Strip tape, 1x8" Celophane Bag, M&Ms, Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz, Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon, Northern Frost Stip Die

Halloween Owl Treat Bag

I whipped this up quite fast.  It would be very easy to reproduce these in no time at all for your favourite Trick-Or-Treater!

 An up close picture of the topper ...

 And this is the back ....

I used lots of Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz and it really sparkles!
Stamps:  Warmest Of Wishes, Grateful Greetings
Ink:  VersaMark
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
Punches:  2-3/8" Scallop Circle, 1-3/4" Circle, Owl Builder, Scallop Square, 1-1/4" Square
Other:  Tangerine Tango Embossing Powder, 1x8 Cello Bags, Circles #2 Die (2" Circle), Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz, Google Eyes, M&Ms
The 1x8" Cello Bags are in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalgue - page11 - Item 124134 - $3.25 for 50 bags!  You can fill them with lots of different things, candy, licorice, marbles, buttons, brads, trinkets, etc.  I will be back tomorrow with a Christmas Treat Bag using the same bags.  So check back then.

Christmas Altered Candy Wrapper Boxes

At convention they showed us how to extend the Candy Wrapper Die so it can hold more goodies.  Here is a couple of them that I made up ...

 and cloer so you can see a bit of the bling I sprized on this one ...

 I wanted this one to look like a Santa belly.  I used Clear Embossing Powder on the buttons.  The Silver glimmer Paper adds a lot of bling to it ...

 And closer ...

I had a dickens of a time making the ends fold on the first one.  HERE is a link to an awesome video by Dawn Olchefsk on how to do it, and it works lickety split every time.  The second one I just folded and tied a bit of ribbon around.
To make this extended box I used a piece of cardstock 7 x 5 and folded it into a piece 3.5 x 5 and ran it through the Big Shot using the die.  I just did not have the folded end right to the very edge of the cutting surface.  It's quite easy. Let me know if you need me to do a tutorial on how to do it, but I am sure there are some out there somewhere.
I may be MIA off and on for the next few days as we are travelling again and there is limited internet access.

Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders #3

Here is the last set of Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders.

These ones use Real Red cardstock, a stamp from Tags Till Christmas, some Real Red Taffeta Ribbon and more of those mini clips I got on the Clearance Rack at Stampin' Up!  Under the tags is a scallop circle punched piece of Candy Lane DSP.  They are filled with Lindt chocolates and Hershey's Kisses.
That's it for the treat holders.  Tomorrow I will share with you some Christmas Tags I created for my Tags classes this month.
Happy Stampin' ..............  Glenda Mollet

Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders #2

Here is the second lot of Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders I made for the craft fair I will be participating in on Dec 11 and 12.

I used some more Candy Lane Specialty Designer Series Papers for these ones, the Designer Label Punch, Tags Till Christmas, some more mini clips, and the 2-3/8" Scallop Punch.  I also stamped and coloured just a little piece of the stamp set Holiday Lineup.  They are filled with Lindt Chocolates and Hershey's Kisses.
One more set to show you tomorrow, so see you then.  Glenda Mollet

Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders #1

Wow we had such fun at my annual Customer Appreciation Dinner and Party on Tuesday night.  So many people were able to come, and it was awesome.  Thank you ladies, from the bottom of my crafty little heart!
Now on to the purpose of today's post, the first in my series of Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders .....

I used the Mini Milk Carton Die and my Big Shot to make the cartons.  I punched out one side before I put them together and added a piece of medium weight window sheet to cover the hole.  I had some of the printed window sheets left from last year, they are printed with white snowflakes on them.  So cute, and they worked perfectly for this project.  I used some of my precious, Candy Lane Specialty DSP (no longer available as it is all sold out!) from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalogue to decorate them.  I also purchased some retired mini clips from the Clearance Rack to hold them together.  Real Red and Garden Green are the cardstock colours.  Then I filled them with Hershey's Kisses and Lindt Chocolates.  Yummmy!
Thanks for visiting, back tomorrow with set #2.   ........... .......   Glenda Mollet
