Ramblin' Stamper: Holiday Table Treats

Thursday, November 7, 2019

Hi Friends,

Today I want to share how to make a cute little treat holder that would be perfect for the holidays.

This is a quick & easy self-closing box made from Let It Snow Designer Paper and the coordinating stamp set, Snowman Season.

The box opens by gently squeezing the sides - it's big enough to hold several candies!

I decorated both sides of the box - snowman on one side, sentiment on the other.

Here are all the details -

Cut Designer Paper 4-1/2” x 6-1/2”.
Score the short side at 7/8” & 3-5/8”.
Score the long side at 3” & 6”.
For the bottom of the box, score at 1-1/2” & 4-1/2”, stopping at the first horizontal scoreline. If your paper has a one-way design, be sure to take that into consideration when choosing which side will be the bottom!
Using a ruler & bone folder or scoring tool, make 4 diagonal scorelines as shown.
Cut away the grayed out squares on 2 corners. The section that is left will be the tab to hold the box closed – cut a slight angle on each side of this tab for a better fit.
At the top, cut on the vertical scoreline, stopping at the first horizontal scoreline.
At the bottom, cut the 3 vertical scorelines, stopping at the first horizontal scoreline.
Fold & burnish on all scorelines.
Round corners where indicated with a corner rounder punch.
To assemble, fold in the side tab; add Tear & Tape or liquid glue; fold the box over onto the tab. Fold in the 4 bottom tabs, squaring the corners; secure with Tear & Tape or liquid glue.
The ribbon closure is optional; this box will stay closed very nicely without it.
