Hey hey hey! One week until Christmas! Happy Monday! How's it going?! I'm busy in the craft room trying to get all the things done before next week! It's pouring rain here in Sacramento today and I do really love a rainy day in the craft room. I put up Christmas lights in here this year and they're so pretty. I might just leave them up all year! It's very cozy and I'm getting a lot done. Here's wishing you a wonderful pre-Christmas week everyone! I think I might finish one more little cross stitch too!
My project for today are these adorable puffy heart treat boxes! I used dies from The Stamp Market to make these cool boxes (Pillow Box Star) and also the snowflakes. They are super easy to put together too – a bonus! I used pretty pastel colors and a bit of silver watercolor paint for shimmer…. My supplies are listed at the bottom of my post – or here!
I assembled each star box and then topped each one with a vellum scallop circle and a snowflake. I splattered silver paint on everything!! I added a big gem in the center of the snowflakes. Such a pretty color palette!
Here is a box in my hand so you can see the size and scale. Mine are filled with candies of course!
Here is the back of the box. There is one die and you cut it out twice and fold along the curved score lines. Then you simply match up two of them on top of each other and glue them together. You would leave one flap unglued so the recipient can get their treats out. TIP: I used my cordless hot glue gun to glue these together – SO FAST and simple… Much easier than trying to tape them or glue them with liquid glue.
I think these would be VERY cute for place setting gifts – either for Christmas, New Years or even the 4th of July! Your color choices can determine what the feeling and occasion would be!
Thanks for popping by today and spending some creative time with me! Hope you have an awesome week! Sending Christmas hugs from me to you!
I have a Destash page on Instagram and from time to time I will list gently used crafting items for sale. Right now, I just listed a big lot of stamps and dies from The Greetery! It's a very good deal! If you're interested, here's the link – and just email me or comment on the post!
As always, if you're crafty shopping, I would be very grateful if you use my links to my favorite shops and help me out! Also, I've updated my gift ideas section in my Amazon Storefront, so you can check that out too!! Thank you!

Do you have a link to die for the boxes?
These are gorgeous, Wanda. Why did I envision you living somewhere else? I guess I did not know that you were in Sacramento.
Enjoy your holiday… the lights make a difference to me, too. This is the first time in three years that I have put up a tree b/c I am not traveling (FOR ONCE) this holiday. I’m so delighted. I may put it up on Nov. 1 next year LOL!

Wanda these are so gorgeous. Lovely star shape and it would hold “just enough” candies. Love these so much. Happy Holidays my friend.
Super cute!!
Wanda, I always enjoy reading your posts. They are so chatty, I feel like you’ve come into my home for a little time to catch up. I’m probably way too late for your Greetery destash, but is it by any chance still available?
