Paper Pumpkin I'll Be Yours Mini Pizza Boxes

How about some mini pizza boxes to deliver some surprise gifts for some lucky recipients?  These are great for Valentine's Day, but would be fine for other special occasions, as well.

I intentionally left off any greetings, so these will be versatile for any occasions when I need them.

The color stories are:
- Mint Macaron
- Highland Heather
- Rococo Rose
Which color story do you like best?

Surprise gifts, anyone?

Wrapped In Plaid Mini Pizza Box

It's so much fun to give little gifts to friends at this time of year.  I like to make up a lot of little treats to spread my giving throughout the season ... our grandchildren's school bus drivers, our grandchildren's teachers, our yard workers, our furry babies' groomer, our mail person, my hairdresser, neighbors ... the list is long and I keep thinking of more.
This little Mini Pizza Box can actually hold several fun chocolate treats.

COMING SOON:
NEW CLASSES ... LOTS OF CREATIVE FUN

Christmas Treat Holders

Today, I thought I'd share a variety of ideas with you for creating your own treat holders for Christmas.  Some of these could be adapted to use for gift card holders, as well.  Enjoy!

I love our Gold Mini Pizza Boxes.  These would be great for Valentine's Day, too.  I added Wink of Stella to the bells in the wreath.

The plaid DSP is attached with dimensionals, so you can get a fun look with the tree behind it.  Believe it or not I stamped the tree through the punched opening in the DSP, so I could get the right alignment.

The bow and the text pieces are attached with dimensionals.

If you like these little boxes, how about a stack of them?

I left the ribbon long ... and gorgeous!!!

Ribbons ...
These gorgeous ribbons add so much to the projects.  I've used our beautiful Real Red Ruched ribbon and our Shaded Spruce/Gold ribbon.  You can sometimes get away with mixing the colors a bit and they still work ... such as the Real Red ribbon with the Cherry Cobbler DSP.  It still works.

I love how you can create a dimensional tree with our Pine Tree punch.

The white Mini Pizza Boxes are still available, too.  It's fun to create an entire gift set.  By the way, one Rocher Chocolate fits perfectly in our little Mini Curvy Keepsakes box:)

Bloom By Bloom Mini Pizza Box

How about a sneak peek at one of our Make and Take projects for my Spring Open House Party?  One Mini Pizza Box project coming right up!

Isn't this just stinkin' cute?!!!

We're going to make a little gift enclosure card for the inside of our box but we are NOT going to put Snickers in our boxes, because they're just too difficult for me to have around here, but this shows you how there's room for a treat and a card and a small present.  Cash or a gift card would be fun:)  I love these little boxes.

I love this gingham check paper!

Beautiful Promenade Set ... and a New Color to Love

I have found a new love in one of our new colors and it's one that surprises me.  I'm not usually a green lover, but I've found recently that I not only love Lemon Lime Twist and Mossy Meadow, but now I also love our new Soft Sea Foam.  It's just so light and delicate and very, very pretty.

I wanted to make a Soft Sea Foam card featuring the flower from our new Beautiful Promenade stamp set and thought I'd try something different and do a monochromatic card using Soft Sea Foam.  Once I'd finished the card, I decided it would be nice to have a coordinating gift box to go with it.  I love how they both turned out.  Here they are.

I very lightly colored in the flowers on the pizza box using a watercolor pencil, but I decided to leave the flowers on the card white.  I added Wink of Stella to the center of all the flowers.  With the help of the thinlits dies, it doesn't take long to pull this set together.

A Boutique Photo is Very Difficult to Pull Off

There are 2 kinds of photos that stand out in my mind as being a tough job.  One is a group photo in a living room or around a dining table.  The other is sharing items I made for my Boutique.  The photos just don't do justice to real life fun.  Here's a little peek at some of the things I made for my boutique this year.  I really had fun making them. 

I love our Acrylic Card Boxes and our Mini Pizza Boxes.  They make up into great little gifts.

Many of the items I made with stocking stuffers in mind.  Many contain some wonderful chocolate inside, too.  Little gifts like these are excellent for when you just want to give 'a little something' to a friend, co-worker, neighbor, or a teacher.  Don't forget school bus drivers and Sunday School teachers, too.  The list could go on a lot longer, I'm sure.

You can't see them in the photos but I made up a bunch of our Acrylic Card Boxes with Christmas DSP for belly bands and fun embellishments and put Ghiradelli chocolates inside, along with the poem 'This Year's Homemade Christmas Fudge.'  How fun!  The little box with tiny drawers in the back is for an Advent Calendar.

My cute little Advent Calendar.  You can put tiny treats in each of the little drawers.

 I made up a lot of Mini Pizza Boxes:)  Also, below, I made up some little gift bags with mini bottles of lotion.  It is thick and luxurious and smells wonderful.

I have a variety of fridge magnets and darling little tins.  There just might be some of those at my Christmas Retreat:)

My Christmas Boutique is open by appointment and at my Nov. 13 and 18 classes.  After that, I will close it out to make more room for class and family activities.
