I’m so glad these Envelope Treat Boxes are going to continue to be available after the July-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog ends. They are easy to decorate and super sturdy. Plus, they just have a unique look.
I thought I’d walk you through the steps of how I made this green and red one. And then further down the post I have two others to share…a SUPER simple one and one that may make you hungry if you like your veggies.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I first colored the front box sections lightly with Garden Green ink and a Blending Brush.
Assembly is easy. Connect the tabs as show below. Latch the c-shaped flaps together. Then insert one pointed flap downward into the slot of the other.
You can certainly use the strong gold stickers that come with the boxes to “tape” over this last connection. Or you can use ribbon like I’ve done here (and in my second box). For this two-toned combination I kept the ribbon layered together the whole time. Once the bow was made, I separated the two colors to make the bow fuller.
And then I just added Red Rhinestones and inserted and adhered one of the die-cut images that I shared how to make in my July 27, 2022 post.
This second one is super simple. I first stamped the words on the box flap. Next I colored about 18″ of ribbon with the Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Marker. While waiting for the ribbon to dry, I assembled the box. Finally I tied on the ribbon and added the butterflies.
For the third box, I embossed the box with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and used a Blending Brush to add a bit of Crumb Cake ink. Looking back I wish I would’ve added more for a darker look. Oh well.
I stamped and cut out a grouping of three carrots. I then stamped and punched out my sentiment. After assembling the box, I added the carrots and sentiment pieces with Dimensionals. Then I tied two 5-inch strips of ribbon together in a knot, folded two strands over, and secured the strands with Glue Dots. Then I tucked this under the top of the carrots and secured with a couple more Glue Dots. And lastly I added a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies.
We are celebrating Christmas this evening with the Jandro side…my husband’s side of the family. Let the holiday festivities begin!

The Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack is still available in the US online store (it is one of the products retiring soon from the July-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog). So I thought I’d put together some Christmas cards with it to share with any of you who are looking for some super quick cards to get out in the mail this season. But hurry!… You’d want to purchase them asap (and maybe with expedited shipping) if this is your goal and you don’t have them yet.
If you already have this year’s Christmas cards done, you could grab up this card pack for next year’s cards especially if you like “quick and easy.” And by making the cards as I’ve done with this pack, you can get 66 cards!! Plus you’ll have lots of other elements of the pack left over for either creating more cards, creating some gift tags, or for using in other paper crafting projects.
The cards I put together from the 4″ x 6″ Memories & More Cards in the pack are cut in half. I used 5 of the 6 designs. And there are 3 of each of these. So you can get 5 x 2 x 3 = 30 cards total.
The cards I put together from the 3″ x 4″ Memories & More Cards will give you 36 cards… I used all 6 designs. And there are 6 of each of these. So you can get 6 x 6 = 36 cards total.
30 + 36 = 66
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurementsfor each card…
Basic White Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
Layering cardstock (Real Red or Shaded Spruce)
3-1/8” x 4-1/8”
Card from the M&M pack
3″ x 4”
These five photos show that you have options for many of the designs. You can use one side OR the other. AND…you can really use any Christmas sentiment stamps you may have on hand. But I used the “Merry Christmas” image from the coordinating Santa’s Delivery Stamp Set.
A couple M&M cards I thought were best displayed on one side only, though.
Then there were some M&M cards where I needed to pick the “background” design as my card layer. This of course meant I also needed a sentiment layer.
But instead of adding cardstock, I want to show you a fun trick with the Vintage Bottle Punch and 3-1/8″ wide cardstock (which is the width we have when the M&M card is already layered onto the red or green cardstock). Just insert the punch all the way and punch out the bottle shape. Then insert the punch all the way from the other side and punch. You may need to press by rocking side to side a bit. Punching through more than one layer is a bit tough to do.
You can then just add the layers directly to the card without Dimensionals and then stamp.
Or you can use the layers as a guide, stamp, then add Dimensionals to the back to add to the card base.
I hope you enjoyed this fun and simple way to produce 66 Christmas cards quickly.

Each month I send out a card that I designed with the recent Paper Pumpkin kit to a few of my subscribers. These fun Z-fold cards (the cards I’m sending to those subscribers this time) are designed with elements from the November 2022 From the North Pole kit, one of the North Pole Sacks, and a few extra tools and supplies. (By the way, there are just 5 days left to make sure you have an active Paper Pumpkin account so you don’t miss out on the NEXT kit. See below for more details.)
Here is how the cards appear when closed.
And here is how they look when open.
As you can see the North Pole Sack is cut into sections. It appears as one when open, but it allows the card to fold shut and just looks like a designer paper layer on the front when closed. (Shhh…don’t tell anyone but my middle strip is upside-down in the first open card.) The first two sections (front and middle strip) are sealed shut. The third one that acts as a pocket is sealed shut just on the left edge.
I added the third one first so that I could fold the card shut with it tucked right into the crease. Then I added the strip on the other side of that middle crease… again making sure the card could fold shut without causing any crinkles or bending of these sack layers.
Then I attached half of a glitter snowflake peeking out from the lower left corner of the first section.
Before adding this first (front) sack section though, I used it as a guide and randomly stamped the snowflake image (from the October 2022 Ho Ho Ho PP kit stamp set).
I also added the banner pieces so I could trim the tops to meet the top edge of this front layer. (Tucking a Dimensional under the bottom of the snowflake designer paper and ho ho ho banner creates a bit of shadow. But be sure to connect the tops of those banners flat.)
Add this front layer with adhesive only on the back left portion. You won’t want it sticky anywhere beyond that, or you won’t be able to fold your card shut.
Finally I embellished with word strips and white snowflakes from the kit.
Measurements of kit supplies…
Glimmer Banner
2″ tall (should be able to get two from one glimmer banner)
Measurements of extra supplies…
Shaded Spruce Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″
Santa Express Designer Paper
1″ x 2″
Early Espresso Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 3″
North Pole Sack
3″ wide for the front panel (cut from the bottom of the sack)
1/2″ wide for the middle strip
and what’s left for the right inside pocket piece
Products I used… See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I also can’t pass up creating a scrapbook page or two with every Paper Pumpkin kit I get. Here is the 2-page layout I came up with this time.
For my big giant snowflake, I used the scraps from the glimmer paper and one of the glimmer banners. I cut strips from the scraps and “v’s” from the banner. I also punched wings from the Songbird Builder Punch for the tips of the snowflake. I started with one large frame to make it symmetrical. And then after attaching it to a small vellum square for support, I cut it in half so I only had to build up the rest of the snowflake with half the extra pieces (v’s, strips and wings) and half the time and effort.
Before securing all my other layers and pieces in place, I made sure to stamp that snowflake here and there.
Measurements of kit supplies…
Holly Jolly Tag
Trim off top, then cut in half
Candy Canes
(3) Cut about 1″ off the bottom to have two pieces
Glimmer Snowflake
one cut in half
Glimmer paper leftovers and a Glimmer banner

There are some “last chance” products from the current July-December 2022 Mini Catalog that will go on sale starting tomorrow. So today I thought I’d share a few of them in a fun fold card I’ve been dying to share with you since before leaving for Vienna. In fact I had planned to share this idea last week, but I was “under the weather” and had to cancel my Live. Because of that delay though, now I’ve got TWO versions of this card to show you.
I went live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago and shared step-by-step directions for how to make this Wrapped Accordion Fold Card with products from the Santa Express Suite: Santa’s Delivery Stamp Set, Santa’s Trains Dies, Charming Landscapes Embossing Folders, and the amazing Santa Express Designer Paper And now I’m sharing that video 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 post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

I have my first set of alternate projects from the November 2022 From the North Pole Paper Pumpkin kit ready to share with you today.
This kit contained the supplies shown below to make 12 festive Christmas tags (4 of 3 different kinds).
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So today I’m sharing with you…
How to turn 12 tags into 36 cards (tripling the kit)
How to make a unique advent calendar

Here are the tags the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
12 tags turned into 36 cards (tripling the kit) These are 9 cards made from the supplies of 3 tags. To get 36, make everything 4 times.
A unique advent calendar I decorated the kit box, added a special insert made from cardstock, and then added decorated and numbered mini envelopes.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.
