Christmas triangle treat boxes – Stamp Around UK Video Hop – September 2023

Today I’m taking part in the Stamp Around UK video hop over on YouTube along with a fabulous group of other UK based Stampin’ Up! independent demonstrators. Our theme for this month is Geometry. So I’ve created some Christmas triangle treat boxes like this one…

They have a neat closure on the end, so they can be opened and closed without damaging the packaging…

festive fridays

Today’s project also launches a new series of Festive Fridays…

Each Friday in September and beyond, until I run out of ideas or we get too close to Christmas, I will be sharing a Christmas themed project for you. So please stay tuned!

As I mentioned in my video, I have personalised these Christmas triangle treat boxes so that they can do double duty as place cards, on our family’s Christmas dinner table. I forgot to mention, that if you can’t get hold of the small Toblerone bars I put inside, then Rowntree’s fruit pastilles fit instead. I imagine there will be plenty of other treats that fit too. The finished box is 5″ long and each of the 3 sides measure 1-1/4″

Here’s the box I made for my nephew during the video, along with my niece’s one…

Measurements

To make theChristmas triangle treat boxes in the video you’ll need the following supplies:

• Real Red card measuring 4″ x 5-3/4″
  • score on the SHORT side at 1-1/4″, 2-1/2″ and 3-3/4″
  • score on the LONG side at 3/8″ at both ends
  • mark 1/4″ from each score line to cut the tabs at the top & bottom (as shown in the video)
• 3 pieces of Real Red designer series paper measuring 4-3/4″ x 1″
• Basic White card to stamp and punch the letters for the name
• Shaded Spruce card to die cut the sprig and holly leaves
