NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS CARDS AND TREAT BOXES | with Stephanie

Hello Doodlebug friends, Stephanie here today to share a little Christmas cheer using the new Night Before Christmas Collection! One of the things I love about Doodlebug is their use of beautiful, vibrant colors in each collection. Hello bright reds, greens, blues and pinks! Here’s a look at 3 treat boxes and mini cards I created using lots of new goodies from Night Before Christmas!

To get into the festive, creative spirit, I turned on some classic Christmas music, cleared my crafty space of anything not Holiday related, and started sorting out the products I wanted to make sure I used. Below are the main elements for my project today.

As a side note, I had the mini milk carton boxes in my stash from a few years ago, but I found some on Amazon in case you are looking to recreate something similar. For the front panel of the boxes and card layers I used several 6x6 pattern papers. I also cut small banner shapes for the boxes from the 6x6 pad.

I used Icon Cardstock stickers popped up on foam squares for the front of each box. The various sentiments came from the Odds and Ends Chit Chat pack and This and That Sticker Sheet.

The mini cards are 3x3 made out of white card stock. I chose I Love Santa, Tinsel Time, and Stocking Stuffer Doodle Pops for the focal point. Probably like many of you, I stash and hoard my Doodle Pop and Shape Sprinkle stickers, but occasionally I will use and share them. :) My goodness the jolly old santas couldn’t be cuter!

I had a few small binder clips in my stash that I used to attach the banners to the top of the boxes and keep them closed.

And that is all there is to it! One of the best parts of the Holiday season is the crafting right!? Cards and gifts, tags and treats are all the more meaningful when they are handmade…at least I think so anyway! Thanks for stopping by today!
