Hi Stamping Friends!
When I decorate for parties, I love to create coordinating table favors not only to add to the overall themed look on the tables, but give attendees a little treat or keepsake. Depending on how big the event is, this can be an overwhelming and sometimes expensive addition to the party budget. That's why I LOVE the new Clear Tiny Treat Boxes from Stampin' Up! These clear acetate boxes are just 2" x 2" x 2" and it's easy to dress them up for any occasion! Plus, you get 16 in a package for just $7.50!
Check out today's project below, showing a simple & cute way to decorate these Clear Tiny Treat Boxes.

Pop of Pink Tiny Treat Thank You Boxes
I created these tiny treat boxes for my Too Cool team members who attended our shoebox swap last Monday. These were so quick to make! Check it out!
Designer Series Paper—I love that you can either leave the box clear to show off the inside contents, or add Designer Series Paper to the inside or outside to keep the contents hidden. I did a half & half version! I cut a 2" x 6" piece of Pop of Pink DSP, scored it at 2" and 4", and tucked it inside the box, so that only two sides would show.
You could easily use any DSP and you can get 12 boxes out of one 12" x 12" sheet, so you can make LOTS of them for very little expense.
Sweet Sentiment Medallion—I decorated the front of the box using the Layering Circles Framelits. I stamped the greeting, from the Oh Happy Day Card Kit, in Melon Mambo onto Whisper White, then die cut a circle. The Basic Black scallop circle die-cut has a 1/4" x 3" strip of Silver Glimmer Paper adhered to it with SNAIL, then I added the sentiment layer over the top with Dimensionals. The top of the medallion is finished off with three Rhinestone Jewels. The whole medallion is attached to the box with Dimensionals.
TIP: This photopolymer stamp greeting actually says "why, thank you," but I carefully trimmed off the "why" to make it easier to stamp the "thank you." It's easy to fit the words back together like two puzzle pieces on the block if you want to use the whole phrase in the future.
Sweet Treats—I filled up the inside of the box with yogurt covered raisins.
All Tied Up—The box is tied up with the 1/8" Melon Mambo Stitched Satin Ribbon, wrapped around twice and tied into a bow. So sweet!
Two Cool—Some of my projects were tied up with the Silver 1/4" Natural Trim.
These are SO EASY & QUICK to assemble, you can create a whole bunch in a short amount of time. I made all these in a little over an hour! I can't wait to try these Tiny Treat Boxes at Christmas for little gifts and stocking stuffers! Woohoo!
