A Tealightful Gift

Leave a Comment

Hello friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a quick and easy gift project I created with the “Tealightful” collection!  I just love the nod to spring in this collection – it makes me so excited for the flowers to start blooming and the grass to turn green instead of wintery brown.  I decided I wanted to spread a bit of spring cheer to a few special friends, so I put this collection to work!

These little gift boxes were so easy to put together…and you will need to bake up your favorite sugar cookies too!  But first, let’s make some boxes together!

Use this cut file(HERE)  from the silhouette store to cut out the hinged box.  Fold on the score lines and add adhesive to assemble the box.

Add the washi tape to the wrap strip. Fold the wrap and secure the end with adhesive and place the wrap around the box.  Now is the time to tie twine around the box and make a bow.

Next, either cut a card from patterned paper, or use one of the printed cardstock shapes to add to the box top. Embellish with additional printed cardstock shapes, puffy stickers, etc.

If you want to add a little message to the inside of the box top, cut a card from patterned paper, or add a printed cardstock piece to the inside of the lid.  Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the box bottom.

Now bake up a storm and place a delicious and beautiful cookie in the box.  Or TWO!

Make as many boxes as you have cookies (saving some for yourself, of course) and fill them up!

You are now ready to deliver some springtime goodness to some special friends!

Valentine’s Day Card and Quick Gift

Hello, Renee here today to share a Valentine’s Day Card and Quick Gift using the My Funny Valentine collection.  Hope you all enjoyed Valentine’s Day with your loved ones.  This card and stacked treat boxes gift set was given to Payton’s teacher for Valentine’s Day.  I can see myself making this for a birthday, too.  I loved using my We R Memory Keepers 123 Punch Board for this project!  So cute!

Valentine's Day Card and Quick Gift made for a teacher by @reneezwirek using the #MyFunnyValentine collection by @pebblesinc

  1. I decided to create 2 ½” x 2 ½” x 1 ¾”, 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” x 1 ¾”, and 4″ x 4″ x 1 ¾” boxes.  So, I trimmed the Fresh Strawberries pattern paper to 7″ x 7″, the Heart Fest pattern paper to 8″ x 8″, and the Beautiful Day pattern paper to 9″ x 9″.
  2. I followed the rest of the instructions and made my punches and scored the papers.
  3. I folded and adhered the pattern papers to create adorable little treat boxes.

I filled the boxes with sweet treats!  Yum!

No adhesive here. I simply closed up the boxes, stacked them (heaviest treats went into the bottom box), and used green tulle (teacher’s favorite color) to tie them together and make a pretty bow.

I used a Raised Adhesive Dot to adhere this fun apple Die-Cut to the treat boxes that is just perfect for Payton’s teacher.

Love the Glitter Heart Stickers because the glitter stays put on my project and doesn’t fall off easily!

Valentine’s Day Treat Boxes

Hello Lovely friends! It’s Leanne here today and I’m sharing a cute little DIY, Valentine’s Day treat box, using the gorgeous My Funny Valentine collection.

Create clever little treat boxes using @PebblesInc #MyFunnyValentinecollection as shared by @leanne_allinson.

This treat box is as simple as adhering two tags together. These tags can be pre-bought, but why use something plain when there are so many glorious patterned papers to play with!!

Create clever little treat boxes using @PebblesInc #MyFunnyValentinecollection as shared by @leanne_allinson.

To create these boxes, trim two tags measuring 6″x3.5″, from your favourite patterned paper. I am using Happy Valentines and Scattered Hearts for my base tags.

Score a line at the bottom of each tag at 1.5″. Add adhesive to the inside and align both tags end to end at the fold lines.

Trim two (2) strips of patterned paper, same as the tags, to 1.5″x 2.5″. Score a fold line 0.5″ from each end on the length. Add adhesive. These paper strips help form the box to hold your treats.

Once your box base is secure, add some reinforced paper circles around the tag holes and embellish as desired.

Finally, thread some pretty twine through the holes of the tags to keep the treat box closed. Fill each treat box with your favourite chocolate and give them to those you love on Valentine’s Day! Thanks for visiting. xoxo

Easy DIY Cookie Box

Hey Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here. If you have a few die cuts and a few patterned papers from the Holly Jolly collection you can have easy DIY cookie boxes made in just a few minutes.

becki-adams_christmas-cookie-boxes_dec-23_1

I started by gathering a few of my favorite patterned papers from the Holly Jolly collection. I grabbed two of each patterned paper for each box and one additional patterned paper for all the lids of the boxes.

becki-adams_christmas-cookie-boxes_5

I ran each of the patterned papers through my electronic die cutting machine to cut all the pieces for the cookie boxes. It only took a few minutes to cut all the pieces. Assembling the boxes was really easy and once again, only took a few minutes. It took longer to bake the cookies than to make the boxes.

becki-adams_christmas-cookie-boxes_4

Make sure you use a strong adhesive when assembling the boxes. You want to make sure that the boxes stay together when they get filled with cookies.

becki-adams_christmas-cookie-boxes_2

On the lid of each box I tied a bow with two strands of coordinating ribbon. I used two strands of ribbon to make the bow a little fuller to accommodate a large box of cookies.

becki-adams_christmas-cookie-boxes_3

Each box holds approximately 12 cookies (depending on the size of cookies). I just LOVE how these turned out!

I can’t wait to share them with our friends and neighbors on Christmas Eve. Don’t worry, you still have plenty of time to create your own easy DIY cookie box. It’s a great last minute gift! Merry Christmas friends!!

Peppermints Patterned Paper PBHJ12-33166

Christmas Plaid Patterned Paper PBHJ12-33168

The clock is ticking, but there’s still time to create this Quick and Easy Christmas Gift for friends, neighbors, teachers, or so many of the other special people in your life!  Hi friends, it’s Wendy Sue here today, and I’m excited to share this project because I love sharing hot chocolate during the freezing cold month of December, and when I can dress it up, like I did here with the “Holly Jolly” collection, it makes it even more fun and special. With a few quick-to-assemble die-cut boxes and a few fun ingredients, you can build these boxes and fill them full of yumminess in no time at all! Create this quick and easy Christmas gift by @wendysue with the "Holly Jolly" collection by @PebblesInc.

Here’s how easy it is to make these gifts:

First, cut the boxes with an electronic die-cutting machine.

Assemble the box according to the directions.

Add a strip of patterned paper to the front of the box.  I used a tear strip from a coordinating paper:

Next, assemble a tag to clip to the handle:

Now the box is complete!

Repeat the process for the number of boxes you’d like to create.

Now, assemble the ingredients to go inside the box.  Start by filling cute little jars with a little booster for the cocoa:

Hot chocolate packets – choose a variety!  Plus, that means a variety of left-overs for you to drink later:

And, of course, wooden spoons.  Because everything is cuter with a wooden spoon:

Use a coordinating ribbon to tie the spoons to the jars.  I just pulled random ribbons from my stash and I love how they are each unique.

And fill the boxes so you can start delivering!!
