Happy Monday! Were you able to join us last Friday for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop? If not, you can visit my post here and follow along!
Today’s project is a variation of the box I made for the Blog Hop and I used almost all of the same products (see the product list below). The sentiment on the front of the box was also used to make a sticker for my bag of candy.
The box is a nice size and allows you to really fill up the gusseted bag! For all the measurements and directions, please visit my post from last Friday. If you have any questions at all, please let me know!

Welcome to the Glitter Queens Monthly Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Home for the Holidays and as usual, my focus is on food! I wanted to create a little something that could be at the Thanksgiving table for each guest with something inside that they would really enjoy! I filled mine with M&M’s in fall colors but you could add nuts, gum, mints, or even leftover Halloween candy (we didn’t have many trick or treaters and have SO MUCH candy left over).
I bagged the candy in our Gusseted Bags and sealed them up with a sticker I made! I used a full sheet shipping label by Avery (8165), stamped my sentiment and punched it out with the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch!
I was going to put a window sheet over the leaf cutout but didn’t really feel it was necessary with the candy securely inside the clear bag. At the bottom of the post, you’ll find a list of all the supplies you’ll need to create my box!
Measurements
Bottom of Box: 7-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ score @ 2″ on each side
Top of Box: 5-1/2″ 5-1/2″ score @ 1″ on each side
Sentiment on top of the box: 5/8″ x 3-1/4″
In this post HERE, you’ll find general directions for making a box. Just substitute with the measurements above. Please pay special attention to the directions for making the bottom of the box. You’ll need to cut off a smidge on two adjoining sides or the top won’t fit over the bottom
Quick Tips
- If you need crinkle paper for the inside of your box but don’t have any on hand, you can make your own! Cut very thin strips of Stampin’ Up! card stock. Then crinkle the paper up in your hands. Instant crinkle paper!
- Be sure to cut the leaf out of the top of the box with the Seasonal Layers Framelits, before you assemble your box (hmm, wonder how I know that).
- Use Fast Fuse or Tear and Tape to assemble your box.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you’ll continue through the hop! Michelle Veller is next and you can visit her blog here!
Here’s the complete list of hoppers today!

Happy Thursday! I hope your week is going well!
My card today uses the stamp set Birthday Blooms and the brand new Stampin’ Blends! It’s important to use our THICK Whisper White card stock and Memento Ink when using the Blends. I colored the flower while watching the World Series and what an exciting series this has been. Have you been watching it? I’m going to miss baseball when the World Series is over and can’t wait for Spring Training to start up again in March!
I’ve been trying out different colors to see how well they blend together . The combinations for today’s card happened quite by accident. I started out with Light & Dark Rich Razzleberry but picked up Dark Cherry Cobbler by accident for my shading. I was upset until I realized that I liked how it looked!
The sentiment is also from Birthday Blooms and stamped in Memento Ink. I finished the card with three Glitter Enamel Dots. I have to say that I’m loving how Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry look together. It’s a beautiful combination!
All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below. To purchase any of the items, click any picture and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store! See my special offer below!

Today’s card was made using the stamp set Birthday Blooms and Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight). I didn’t worry about blending and just colored!
It’s important when coloring to place something under your paper to protect your writing surface. The color does soak through the paper and it’s normal! I use several pieces of our grid paper underneath my paper.

The number one reason I love alcohol- based markers is because you really can’t mess up! The color blends beautifully onto your paper. Coloring is so relaxing and you’ll love the results with these pens! Seeing is believing!
For the very best results:
- Use Memento Ink to stamp your images
- Use our THICK Whisper White paper
- Make sure you hear a click when putting the lids on to prevent them from drying out.

It’s Halloween tomorrow and if you’re looking for one last treat holder, you can make today’s project quickly with an Envelope Punch Board.
I made this treat holder to fit a King Size package of York Peppermint Patties. King size is a bit misleading – this is a 2.5 oz. package.
