My friend Joy challenged me to figure out the pattern for a candy dispenser she had seen online shared on line here by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs. So being a person who always loves a good visual and math challenge, I took her up on it. I revised the design a bit to secure the opening flap – make it stronger. And then I made a few containers. I actually shared this pattern first with an exclusive design for my personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers that purchased the May 2020 kit. And because this 9”x 8-1/2” sheet of cardstock turned into an adorable 2” x 2” x 3” candy dispenser box was so easy to make, I decided I needed to make more with the Whale of a Time Suite of products.
I then shared how to make these dispensers during my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook this past Wednesday. I uploaded the recording of this class onto my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook) and shared it here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

I love these boxes! So cute!
Thank you so much Becky!
First love your videos, I have not caught you live yet? but glad to watch replay. My question is you showed a card that uses a 6×6 Dsp but I catch find the card on your blog. I think you called it a z fold. You used a whale of time paper, I thought it really showed off the paper, very neat card.
Thank you for letting me know where to find this card. Also I made your candy box last nigh to cute,
Your right make it along with you and it’s great. Iam a mess tried it without you attempted 4 time and failed horribly? then did what you said along with the video and Wawa La it worked?
Thanks Michelle! ? Here is the one you are looking for…https://stampyourartout.com/2020/06/whale-of-a-time-3-panel-scenery-z-folds.html
Glad it helped to do the box along with me. Yay!!
Super cute idea, Rachel! But your picture-in-picture was blocking much of what you were doing so it made it hard to follow along. I thought I’d mention it because I’m sure you weren’t aware of it. Maybe it’s a setting on my computer? But you were doing all the cutting under the p-i-p so I couldn’t see!
Hmmm…Ugh. So sorry. I need to focus on my camera more to make sure I have everything in view.
I loved this cute candy dispenser and made two of them on Sunday afternoon. Two, because my mom wanted to know how long it took me, so I had to make the 2nd one and time myself. I only timed the making of the box, not the decorating, and that second one took 16 minutes. I thought that was pretty good for all the cutting and scoring! Thank you for the fun idea!
Bravo! A big pat on the back!! Glad you enjoyed the box Beth Ann. It’s always fun to hear when others make what I share. It means so much to me. ❤️
