I really enjoy making little treat boxes and bags to give as class favors, party favors, and gifts to friends. Stampin’ Up! makes this easy with the array of products it offers. In today’s post, I use the Book Treat Boxes to make a gift card holder or candy holder.
Aren’t they super cute? They remind me of the Lifesaver holders from when I was a kid. Find these Book Treat Boxes in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. The plain white design allows you to customize these any way you like. You receive 10 boxes for $10.
Here are a few simple directions to help you get started:
Sentimental Christmas (or patterned paper of your choice) measuring 9 3/4 x 4 1/4
Sentimental Christmas image punched with 2 3/8″ circle punch
Pretty Peacock card stock die cut with circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies
Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (about 9″ to tie a bow)
Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems
Self-adhesive Velcro dots
Imagine all of the ways these can be decorated with different papers, images, and embellishments.
Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper
This festive patterned paper features traditional holiday images: holly and berries, candles, snowflakes, candy canes, Christmas trees, and more! Fussy cut individual elements for quick accents. Or cut the lantern and candy cane paper into six pieces to make quick card fronts. This paper was hand-drawn in colored pencils for original designs you won’t find anywhere else.
In addition, with each purchase of the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to support children’s literacy around the world.

Are you a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas cards? Do you prefer the holiday colors of reds and greens? Or do you like something a little different?
I find I’m a little bit of both!
For today’s card, I steered more toward the non-traditional with Night of Navy and gold while using Stampin’ Up!’s Hang an Ornament Bundle, now available from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. I think you’ll love the price point of this bundle at $29.50. It lends itself to creating some quick and easy, but beautiful holiday cards.

Hello, stampers! This is my last post celebrating Christmas in July. I’m kind of sad! I’ve been having so much fun with Stampin’ Up!’s Greetings of the Season Bundle and the gorgeous Season of Green & Gold 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. Seriously, this paper is amazing with its gold foil sheets and gold accents. And, the stamp set offers a mix-and-match approach, where you can “build” exactly what you want to say.
Find these new offerings on my online store by clicking here.
Today, I add Stampin’ U!’s Pocket Thoughts Dies to the mix. This three-die set allows you to add pockets on your card — on front or in the middle — to hold gift cards or tags with messages.
I created two separate cards using the patterned paper, but experimented with Night of Navy and Gold Foil. Which is your favorite?
