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.

Treat Boxes

I wanted to make some treat boxes for the girls I will be cropping with at an upcoming retreat.  I found this little box on the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge (page 22) and cut it at 7".  I love this little box because there is no tape involved to put it together.  You just fold it up and use some ribbon or twine to hold it shut.  It fits two Ghirardelli chocolate squares in it perfectly.
