Hello and welcome to my Tuesday blog. I hope your work week is a short one 🙂
Today’s project is a treat box suitable for a Rice Krispies Treat®, but you can make the box to fit whatever item you’re gifting.

I have found that I’m using the color group 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper a lot. For this treat box I used the Night of Navy circles from the Neutrals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Cherry Cobbler leaf pattern from the Regals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

For this type of project I really like using the Simply Scored board to make multiple score lines, especially when I’m making several boxes.
For the stars on the canton, I used a white gel pen. The Iconic Imagery Bundle, available to order Wednesday July 3, has a die that will cut multiple stars that you could use for the canton as well. If you use the gel pen, allow a little time to dry before adhereing the canton to the tag to avoid smearing.

I absolutely love the Iconic Imagery Stamp Set “celebrate” font. I am taking a video class on handwriting and would really like to be able to learn to write in this font. 🙂

Fill your box with fun treats to enjoy while you watch the fireworks on July 4.

- You will receive your coupon codes via email after the purchase. If you earn multiple codes on the same order, you will receive all the codes in one email. Save your emails as the codes are not replaceable.

You must add items to your cart and complete your purchase during the earning period.
Retired Stampin’ Up! Products
My online Stampin’ Up! retired product store has been refreshed with additional products. I will be adding more retired products as I come across them. I have a variety of stamps, dies and embellishments. My stamps and dies are all gently used and most were purchased within the last two years (although some may be “vintage”). Dies might be on magnet cards as I did not start saving the original packaging until just recently. Designer Series Paper and embellishments are new in unopened packages unless otherwise stated.
Due to Stampin’ Up! policies, I can only ship to U. S. addresses.
