Pretty Treats

I've been asked to create some inexpensive treats for the employees in my sister's office.  She gets them a gift card, but likes to have a pretty little "sumthin" to go with it.  Here's one idea I presented:


These are the ClearTiny Treat Boxes from Stampin' UP! and they make a really cute favor or table decoration.  These each hold 6 Ghirardelli Chocolate squares but the recipient will have to open the box to see what's inside.


I used Designer Series Paper (Festive Farmhouse), cutting a "just under" 2" strip x 8-1/2" long.  It was scored at "just under" 2", "just under" 4", "just under" 6", and "just under" 8", leaving the 1/2" strip on the end.  After folding on the score lines,  I just placed it inside the box along all 4 sides - a perfect fit!

Each box has a banner, cut with the Takeout Treats dies, and stamped with Itty Bitty Greetings.  This one has a Shaded Spruce tag and some holly from Peaceful Poinsettia.  But check out the top:


Such a pretty little wreath!  The Sprig Punch did all the work, cutting Shaded Spruce, Call Me Clover and the Tranquil Tide glimmer paper from the Joyous Noel pack.  All it needed was a bow of the Mixed Satin Real Red Ribbon, and some sparkly Red Rhinestones.


Who wouldn't love to get a little package like this delivered to them?

And what about this one?


Here is the gorgeous flower from the Detailed Poinsettia Framelits Dies.  I cut a Cherry Cobbler base and a Merry Merlot Glimmer Paper (also from the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper pack) using the Framelits, and layered them together.  


The leaves are the Nature's Roots dies with the Tranquil Tide Glimmer Paper, and I colored some Rhinestone Basic Jewels with Shaded Spruce Blends (and there's a Red Rhinestone in the middle).


This one got the royal treatment with a sparkly tag and sprigs, along with the banner.

Wouldn't you just love to see one of these little beauties sitting on your desk?  Yummy boxes, and yummy treats!

Make them yourself; here are the supplies used:
