Reese’s Peanut Butter Heart Box

Who knew Stampin’ Up! had a gift box for Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts?  My kid’s favorite treat to receive for any holiday is Reese’s Peanut Butter ________!  You know…Hearts, Eggs, Pumpkins, Christmas Trees etc.  Does Reese’s make a Peanut Butter Turkey?  They would like that too.  Anyway, I was wishing there was a cute box for which to gift my Valentine Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts.  I started trying to figure out what size box I needed, when I noticed that Stampin’ Up! has a 1.75 x 1.75 x 3.25 box size on the Gift Box Punch Board.  This is a great box to put one, or even two Reese’s Peanut Butter treats.

It is a very cute and easy box.  So I made more boxes since I have more kids. 🙂

Then I decided I needed a cute card and matching envelope to go with the box.

I got to see my college son last night at a concert, so here’s what I gave him for Valentine’s Day.

The only paper I used for this project was Real Red Cardstock and the Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack.  I still had the paper sitting out on my desk, when my husband went in my stamping office this morning and created a couple cards on his own.  Here’s the one he made for me.  He also made one for our sweet daughter.  He wrote a note to our youngest son on a post it note.  I guess he decided our son didn’t need another card.

Isn’t he sweet!  You can tell he agrees with my philosophy of making cute and quick cards and gifts.  If you haven’t finished your Valentines, I suggest making a  Reese’s Peanut Butter treat box.

Here is a simple thank you card that will come in handy after Christmas.  It would be very thoughtful to make several of these and give them to a teacher as a Christmas gift.   Endless Wishes is a must have stamp set.  I love the snow flakes and the font of the sentiments. On this card I used the Watercolor Thank You single stamp.  I won this stamp at the Stampin’ Up! convention last summer.

I used the Frosted Sequins and Rhinestone Jewels to add extra bling.

Christmas Box directions

photo 1 (1)

Here’s the Christmas Box I posted yesterday.  I got the box directions several years ago from Becky Roberts at Inking Idaho.  The box is made with one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock.  Cut two pieces- piece A is 10 1/2 x 5 1/4 and piece B is 10 x 3 1/8.

Score piece A in the landscape view at 1/2, 1, 9 1/2 and 10. Score piece A in the portrait view at 1/2, 1, 4 1/4, 4 3/4. See picture to cut the corners and make flaps. Attach 10 small pieces of sticky strip as shown in the picture. Use a bone folder to crease all the score lines.photo 1 (3)

Score piece B in the landscape view at 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 4 1/4, 5 3/4, 6 1/4, 6 3/4. Crease on score lines to create “mountains” separating the candy bars from the cards and envelopes.photo 2 (4)photo 3 (3)

The lid is made with one Transparancy sheet cut at 8 1/2 x 8 3/8. Score at 1/2, 3 13/16, 4 6/16, 7 11/16.  Secure the lid with sticky strip.
