Mini Pizza Box Gift Cards


This coming week end, one of the projects we'll make in our card class is this cute gift card set using the Seasonal Layers Thinlits and the Mini Pizza Box.  The Mini Pizza Boxes and the whisper White envelopes for 3 X 3 cards are both new items available in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  This means they will only be available for a few months for making your Holiday projects.  

I think these cute Gift Cards in the little box would make a perfect thank you gift for the hostess preparing your Thanksgiving feast or a cute gift to have on hand for Fall birthdays.   

  



Each card as well as the front of the mini pizza box includes a Whisper White frame cut with the largest square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits and then one of the Layering Squares Framelits.  

The Leaves are cut from the the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper.  The cover of the mini Pizza Box includes a square of Champagne Foil inside the Whisper White frame.  

I use Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiments on the front of the box and one of the cards.  The inside of the cards can be stamped with To / From or with other sentiments.    These gift cards were inspired by Helga Hopen from Stempelkunst

The card is difficult to photograph to show the true simmer of the Champagne Foil.  These foil sheets along with the 3 X 3 envelopes are from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

Halloween Treat Tube Holder with Spooky Cat from Stampin' Up!

  • Halloween Treats
  • Free Holiday Catalog Download

Halloween Treat ideas


I haven't posted for a while, as I've been busy creating and was busy this week end with visiting family.  We had so much fun!. Can't wait until they visit again!  This week end I created these cute little treat holders, inspired by Jackie Beers, at BLueLineStamping.com.  The hold the new Stampin' Up Treat Tubes from the Holiday catalog.  I added them to a collection of Halloween cards and treats packages I've been working on.
  


I think they are a fun addition to the Halloween display I've been working in.
    



Fall and Holiday themes have always been my favorite to create.  Imagine the fun of sending these cute cards to say "Hi" to someone, or the fun treats to handout to Halloween trick or treaters. 


I have used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie for most of my Halloween project so far.  This project added two additional colors.  Rich Razzleberry and and Lemon Lime Twist.  

I've use Rich Razzleberry as the base for this little treat holder for the Treat Tubes. The top is punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Then I used Spooky Night Designer Series Paper to decorate the treat holder.  I've filled the treat tubes with different kinds of candies to see which fits in the tube, and I'm happy to report that many small candies fit perfectly.  Candy Corn, M&Ms and Jelly Beans that match our Stampin' Up! colors have been my favorite.


Trick or Treat Tube Holders using Cat Punch from Stampin' Up!

In the treat holder above, I filled the treat tube with Lemon Lime Twist jelly beans.  (That's what I call them!)  They looked so good, I filled one our our small Clear Tiny Treat Boxes with the jelly beans as well to show you how you can coordinate our colors with the candies of the same colors.  I've decorated this treat holder with the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper.  Looking at this now, I'm going to add a punched Lemon Lime Twist cat using the new cat punch to the treat holder above.





This is a side view of the Treat Tube holder, showing the small layer in the bottom of the folded holder showing how the treat tube is held in position. 



Here are dimension for making the holders:

Base cardstock:
Cut to 2 X 9-3/4".  Scored at 1/2, 1-1/2, 3-1/2, 4-1/2

Punch the center of the surface after the second score line with a 3/4" circle punch

Base for holder:
Cut cardstock to 3" X 2".  Score 1/2" all around
Punch a 3/4" hole in the center.
Cut up to score lines on each end.  
Fold on score lines and tape ends sides to inside of ends.
I glued the base to the inside of the holder.

Recipe for box:

Stamps:  Spooky Cat
Ink:  Basic Black Archival
Paper:  Rich Razzleberry, Spooky Night Designer Series Paper 
Accessories:  Treat Tubers, Cat Punch, Tear & Tape, Circle Punch, Silicone Craft Sheet,  Stampin' Trimmer, Multipurpose Glue, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals
