Stamping with the STARS #423: Holiday Treat Packaging with Sending Cheer Bundle

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts423.  This week it's our pleasure share a Holiday Treat Packaging Inspiration with you.

Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer Bundle Santa Box by Dawn Olchefske for Stamping with the STARS packaging challenge #DOswts421 #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #DOstamperSTARS #ChristmasPackaging p
I have to admit, I was having trouble finding my treat packaging mojo.  So I decided to take a trip to Target to get some treat inspiration.  After finding LOTS of fun new treats, I was able to get into the holiday groove.

Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer Bundle Santa Box by Dawn Olchefske for Stamping with the STARS packaging challenge #DOswts421 #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #DOstamperSTARS #ChristmasPackaging o
I wrapped up a dark chocolaty coated marshmallow cocoa topper (Favorite Day brand) with a Santa Hat created by using the Sending Cheer Bundle.  I also created an Easy Santa Box to stuff it into.   

  • It’s never been easier to make custom gift tags with the Sending Cheer Dies
  • Make tags shaped like envelopes, stockings, gifts, Santa hat and gingerbread cookies. 
  • The dies even cut a hole for ribbon or twine so you don’t need to cut one out by hand! 
  • You can  also use the accent pieces for holiday cards, and other paper crafts.

 

How'd She DO That? Easy Santa Treat Box

  • Stamps/Bundles: Sending Cheer Bundle (includes Dies)
  • Paper:
    • Real Read (3-1/4" x 8-1/2" score at 3-1/4, 4, 7-1/4 & 8", turn and score at 3/4", scrap for hat/berries dies) 
    • Basic Black (3/8" x 3-1/4", 3/8" square - both for belt) 
    • Basic White (scrap for hat trims and tag dies)
    • Shaded Spruce (scrap for holly leaves die)
    • Holographic Trio Specialty Paper (1/2" square for belt
  • Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento
  • Other: Stampin' Cute & Emboss Machine, Simply Scored, Paper Snips, 1/4" Black & White Gingham Ribbon, Simply Elegant Trim,  Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Tear & Tape Adhesive

 

DOstamping Tip Easy Santa Box from Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #ChristmasWrapping

DOstamping Tips:

  • BOX:  score, cut notches and fold box as directed above.  Be sure to add "belt" prior to sealing box.
  • HAT:  die cut Santa hat pieces using scraps - run through Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine all at one.  Assemble hat with glue dots.

DOstamping Tip Sending Cheer Santa Hat from Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #Christmastreats

  • Wrap ribbon around treat.  Threading both ends up through Santa hat (from backside) and tie in a knot.
  • On white scrap, stamp sentiment and die cut.  Attach to treat using silver Simply Elegant Trim.
  • Insert treat into Santa Box.

Last of my Bone Appetit Paper Pumpkin kit alternative samples!

Here's the last of my Bone Appetit Paper Pumpkin alternative samples.  Plus a couple more from my fabulous DOstamperSTARS team.

4 Bone Appetit Paper Pumpkin kit alternative ideas shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #papercrafting  #craftkitsinthemail

This Bone Appetit eye-catching Trick or Treat/skull border was not only fun to stamp, but it was really easy to create. 

Just stamp the bottom row of sentiments first with Pumpkin Pie ink, filling in with the skulls with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Then repeat on top.

4 Bone Appetit Paper Pumpkin kit alternative ideas shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #papercrafting  #craftkitsinthemail

The Bone Appetit Pencil Holder also came together quickly and is a great way to use the Bone Appetit kit for non-candy treats! 

  • Trim off the top/bottom of one of the treat boxes. 
  • Cut the 4 "middle" panels into two panels each (you'll get two holders from one box). 
  • Fold in half around pencils and staple shut.  Decorate as desired.

Here's two more ideas from the STARS:

4 Bone Appetit Paper Pumpkin kit alternative ideas shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #papercrafting  #craftkitsinthemail (Bernadette Baio)

I thought it was clever the way Bernadette used the negative area from the label dies and backed it with black cardstock.

4 Bone Appetit Paper Pumpkin kit alternative ideas shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #papercrafting  #craftkitsinthemail (Nicole Winkelman)

The die cut skeleton, spider webs and foil labels from the Bone Appetit kit are a great way to decorate the new Coffin Boxes!

Happy Halloween Dancing Skeleton  Card

This card couldn't be easier to do.  With just a few extra supplies, you'll have your skeletons dancing in no time at all!

  1. Adhere 1-1/4" x 5-1/4 Whisper White piece to folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Gorgeous Grape card base
  2. Assemble tags, add Nature's Twine, then adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  3. Stamp sentiment with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on label die cut.  Adhere with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (tuck under the arms)

 

Paper Pumpkin September Bone Appetit Blop Hop | Dawn Olchefske dostamping #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #diy #papercrafting #paperpumpkin #halloween

Happy Halloween Spider Web card

For this card, I cut open two of the treat boxes - one of each pattern.  The easiest way to do that is to trim off the top and bottom of the box.

  • On to 2-7/8" x 4-1/8" piece of Pumpkin Pie, adhere treat box pieces measuring 3/4" x 3-7/8" (top), 1-1/4" x 3-7/8" (bottom).
  • Adhere 3/4" x 4-5/8" strip of Basic Black between the 2 box pieces.  Then adhere to folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Gorgeous Grape card base.
  • Assemble tags, add Nature's Twine, then adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Stamp sentiment with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on label die cut,  and adhere with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Grateful Family QC Card

If you like quick & cute cards AND prefer full-sized cards, this one is for you!

DOstamping Tips for Grateful Family QC card:

  • Trim the front panel from the Gift of Fall Add-On ombre card to 2-1/4" x 4".  Adhere to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" folded Thick Whisper White card base. 
  • SAVE your "negative" die sheets (don't throw them away).  Use the Sprig & Leaf Punches to cut a variety of shapes and colors.
  • Adhere die cuts and punched shapes to behind stamped sentiment label, and adhere to card with dimensionals.

 

Thanksgiving Treat Envelope

Since I used one of the Gift of Fall Add-on Note Cards, I had a leftover envelope.  With such a pretty envelope, I knew I had to make something sweet! 

How'd She DO That? Treat Envelope 

  • For Treat Tag: 
    • Cut 2" x 3-1/2" piece of Crushed Curry with Scallop Tag Topper Punch. 
    • Thread twine through hole.  Adhere candy with glue dots.  
  • For Treat Envelope: 
    • With envelope closed (but not sealed), from the back side fold the sides over and into the center (like a gate-fold).  Reopen envelope and trim away the top corners of the flap.  See photo below. 
    • Stamp sentiment in the center panel.  Slide treat tag into center section of treat holder
    • Fold sides back into the center and flap down.  Wrap seam binding ribbon around flap and tie in a bow. 
    • Stamp "enjoy" on white side of narrow label.  Fold over at about 1-1/2" and adhere with a glue dot.  Create small hole with Take Your Pick Tool and Stampin' Pierce Mat.  Attach tag to ribbon with thread and tie in a bow.

Thanksgiving Wreath Tag

Paper Pumpkin August Gift of Fall Blop Hop | Dawn Olchefske dostamping #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #diy #papercrafting #paperpumpkin

Here's probably my favorite Gift of Fall project...a handmade wreath.  ALL of the items used to create this project are from the kit.  No extra supplies needed!

How'd She DO That? Thanksgiving Wreath Tag

  • Gently remove the handles from a bag.  (You only need one per wreath)
  • Soften up the handle with your hands so it is more pliable.  
  • Shape into a circle approximately 1-1/2" to 1-3/4" wide.  Then use the long end to "weave" it in and around until it meets back where you started.  Use glue dots to "seal" the ends together (reshape as necessary).
  • Use glue dots to adhere leaves (I placed them where the ends met). 
  • Then use 3-pieces of twine, wrap around wreath over leaves and tie in a bow.  Finish off with a sequin
  • Place several glue dots on back of wreath to adhere to stamped tag.

I had SO much fun creating with the Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin kit.  I still haven't yet put the kit away.  But I think my favorite part about this month's kit is the Gift of Fall Add-On Note Cards & Envelopes.  With SO many leftovers from the kit, there was plenty to play with to create fabulous cards.

Speaking of the Clearance Rack...today I'm sharing a fun little gift I made for my DOstamperSTARS Team Members who attended OnStage.  It uses the adorable Nine Lives Stamp Set and the Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie from the Clearance Rack (a great product to have around for gift packaging).  

Nine Lives Gift Box created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #giftboxes #ONSTAGE2019 #minneapolisonstage2019 #dostamperSTARS

For each Stampin' Up! event, I try to do something special for my team.  This year, I found these cute Suction Cup Cat Phone Stands (see below) that I thought would be fun to package up using the Nine Lives stamp set.  They turned out super cute and everyone loved them!

How'd She DO That? Cat Gift Boxes:

  • Stamps: Nine Lives
  • Paper:  Smoky Slate (scrap for punch)
  • Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
  • Other:  Clear Tiny Treat Boxes, Cat Punch
  • Retiring:  Berry Burst Ribbon Metallic-Edge Ribbon, Petal Pink/Silver Baker's Twine, Mini Silver Sequin Trim

For a little added bling, I gave each cat tag a Silver Mini Sequin Trim collar...how cute!

Here they all are at OnStage, along with DOstamperSTARS lanyards and name tag banners!

We had such a great time at OnStage, being together, swapping and seeing all of the "coming soon" products.  If you're looking for a fun group of stampers to join, you will enjoy the STARS.  Learn more here.

If you know me, I really love adding little touches like ribbon, trim and bling to my projects.  And if you're like me, you'll miss some of the retiring ribbon/trims (see shopping list below).  So, be sure to stock up on your favorites before they are gone.

Enjoy~Dawn O
