Doing What I Love . . .

It's that time of year again . . .

we all need to get our Christmas cards sorted and

what better way to do it than playing along with the

Seventh Annual Month Of Holiday Cards

at

Beccy's Place

The prompt for Day 30 is Do What You Love

. . . well that's a tough one . . .

I LOVE to colour and make cards,
I also LOVE to make fancy gift card and treat holders.

Sadly, I'm struggling to colour at the moment, my fingers and markers are not playing well together, so the next best thing to do is to go with my second love (really it's my third love, as my husband will always be #1) and make some Santa treat boxes.  I confess, I had so much fun at Halloween, I made a big bundle of different treat boxes, filled them with individually wrapped chocolates, lollipops and lollies, donned my wicked witch hat and merrily gave them to little (and not-so-little) visitors until it got too dark.  We even had the pleasure of sharing our treats with the local scout troop for their Halloween party.  With that little tale in mind and given that we're now in Christmas mode, I seriously think that I should ditch the hat, put on a red dress, a frilly white apron and live in a Gingerbread House so that I can keep sharing sweet treats.

These Santa treat boxes are a new-to-me cut file, they're the first four of I don't know how many, I'll keep making them until I run out of red cardstock, the more the merrier!  I upsized the boxes, they were originally 2" square and were too small to fit tasty treats.

These cute boxes are 2 7/8"  square . . . or is that cubed?  . . . I wonder how many Freddo Frogs, Caramello Koalas and Milky Ways I can fit inside each one?

The black band weaves through the sides of the box to make the belt.

The lid fits neatly and comes off easily,
not too tight, not too loose, it's just right.

. . . just in case you were wondering, I can fit NINE Freddo Frogs,
Caramello Koalas and Milky Ways inside, three of each.

full details coming soon . . .
