Let It Snow Mini Curvy Keepsakes Boxes

Hi Stamping Friends!

I'd like to give a special shout-out to all of my Too Cool Team members who braved the slick & snowy roads last night to attend our monthly Stamp & Share event, as well as all of those who where not able to make it because of the horrible weather. Thankfully, we do a Facebook LIVE during the event, so those who couldn't attend were still able to peek in to be part of the recognition, prize drawings and training. We missed seeing you in person!

Today, I'm sharing the adorable little boxes that I gave each attendee as a table gift, appropriately decorated with "Let It Snow" Designer Series Paper! LOL!

But first, a quick Purple Posy update…

Purple Posy Officially Discontinued—Stampin' Up! recently announced that the Purple Posy Ink Pad and Ink Refill are officially discontinued. After months of oven-testing the new formula and determining that it was good-to-go, they are now discovering that the ink color is still shifting in real-time (meaning it may no longer coordinate with the matching cardstock, markers, etc.). Therefore, they have decided to pull these two products. The Purple Posy Stampin' Write Markers and Stampin' Blends Markers are still available for coloring, and you can use stamped-off Highland Heather to achieve a similar ink shade.

Product Credit Coupon Code—For anyone who is unhappy with their Purple Posy Ink Pad, Stampin' Up! is offering a Coupon Code for $7.50 in product credit that will be good through January, 2020. Customers must call Stampin' Up! directly to receive their coupon code: 1-800-STAMPUP. Contact me with any questions.

Let It Snow Mini Curvy Keepsakes Boxes

Talk about adorable! These mini boxes make a perfect little table favor for your holiday table and, with their diminutive 2-1/8" x 1-7/8" x 1-7/8" size, they would also be really cute for decorating a Christmas tree!

Box Basics—If you remember the old Curvy Keepsakes boxes, these boxes are a cuter and smaller version They are so quick and easy to make because the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies do all the hard work, both cutting and scoring the one-piece construction. I used a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of Coastal Cabana with the dies for the basic card box. Next, I cut a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of Let It Snow DSP to cut both of the short, handled sides out. I hand-cut each side piece and adhered them to the box with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

TIP: Before adhering the DSP, I used a Bone Folder to gently curve the sides of the box to encourage a more round shape on the box.

Finish by folding on the score lines and interlocking the handles and sides. No adhesive needed!

Sweet Treat—I stamped a sentiment from the coordinating Tiny Keepsakes stamp set in Real Red onto Whisper White, then die-cut the tag shape with the help of the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box dies set. There are several little stitched tags shapes in the set from which to choose. I created a little tag loop of White Baker's Twine, then dangled that from the Real Red Curly Ribbon. The Curly Ribbon is the perfect way to add a bow, because it's easy to tie and re-tie to get in and out of the box. I finished with a single Rhinestone Jewel for a little sparkle.

Inside The Box—It may be a small box, but you can still fit several mini treats inside. I added Hershey's Kisses, and you could also use Dove chocolates, Mini Ghirardhelli chocolates, Rolos or other wrapped candies.

Two Cool—I used a different pattern of Let It Snow DSP for the second version. This time, I selected the tear-drop shaped tag and stamped it with a different Tiny Keepsakes sentiment in Shaded Spruce. Cute, cute, cute!
