A Celebration - Circle Treat Box

Ok, so admittedly I have quite a few photos sitting on my laptop of past projects I've made but haven't shared yet.

Here is one of those projects.

The original idea that I came across for using a large circle to create a box was from Andrea Walford, but I discovered that none of the links were working anymore, so I can't link up to the original instructions.

So I took out my ruler and my treat holder, wrote down the basic scoring measurements, and made up my own instructions to share with you.

Circle Treat Box

• Cut a 8 1/2" circle out of cardstock
• Score the circle at 5" and 5 1/2"
• Turn circle and score at 1 5/8", 2 1/8", 6 3/8", 6 7/8" (Tip: I used a ruler to make sure it was square before I scored these lines)
• Fold on all score lines using a bone folder to get a nice crisp fold
• Use your scissors to trim off the pieces (shown in photo below)
• Adhere sides of box together

Happy creating!  :)

I don't have the Fancy Favor Box die, so I made my own box.

Here's my measurements:

The finished size of this box is:  3 3/4" H x 3" W x 2 1/4" D

Blue Snowflake Treat Box - altered

I'm having fun playing with my Treat Box template today. I love anything easy, and this template is super easy to put together. No printing and/or tracing necessary... just start with a specific size of cardstock and follow simple cutting and scoring instructions. Just the way I like it! lol

So while I was gluing this one together, I decided to change it up a little and make the top into a box top. It was so easy to do... I think it totally changes the look of the Treat Box and I love how it turned out.

I stamped the snowflake images with Versamark onto Indian Corn Blue cardstock, then took a 50/50 mixture of Prisma Glitter and White embossing powder and sprinkled it over my snowflakes, and then heat embossed them. It doesn't show up in the picture, but it gives the snowflakes a hint of sparkle. TIP: Mixing glitter with embossing powder and heat setting it seals in the glitter so you don't have it falling off your project afterwards. Gotta love that!

Treat Box (my new template)

Here's a sample of my latest and greatest! I created the template for this little 6x3.5x2.5" goodie bag yesterday and I'm loving it!

Since Dad's day is coming up next weekend, I thought this would be a good opportunity to make something for Dad (that would be my husband), to go along with his gift, which I'll post possibly later today.

I have a bunch of cellophane bags I purchased from CTMH a very long time ago (and I don't even know if they are still available anymore), but I do know that they are still available through SU, because I've seen them in their catalog.

I filled the cellophane bag with chocolate covered coffee beans I picked up while on vacation in Hawaii at the beginning of the year.

What I used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):
World's Best Dad stamp set
Aspen B&T
Outdoor Denim and White Daisy CS
Acetate sheet
Cellophane bag
Twilight ink
Outdoor Denim grosgrain
Screw-head brads (other)
1 1/4" circle punch (EK Success)
Key Tag punch (SU)
Circle Coluzzle

And chocolate covered coffee beans
