Reindeer Treat Boxes

It is so hard to believe that Christmas is over already!  I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday.  Here are some treat boxes I made before the holidays for the folks in my office.  Each box holds 3 Ghirardelli chocolate squares.  I saw these on You Tube a while back but I can't remember what website it was on.

Envelope Punchboard Snowman

I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas!
A friend of mine found these on Pinterest so I just had to make one!  So easy and cute.  Here's the link if you want to see the instructions.  http://jackietopa.typepad.com/addicted_to_stamping/2013/11/envelope-punch-board-snowman.html   I made mine a little bit different.  I used a Peachy Keen Stamp for his face and I used real buttons.  There is a York Peppermint Patty inside but you could also use the Ghirardelli Chocolate squares too.
