Today I am featuring two treats as I missed yesterday! The holidays are expensive and sometimes we want to show a little love for neighbors, coworkers, paper boy, out favorite hair stylist and more! Let’s do it on a budget.
Our second project of the week is a little Peppermint box. Affordable and relatively quick to put together, you can create multiples to keep on hand or in your car for when you bump into a special friend.
Stamps: Naughty or Nice
Inks: Real Red and Shaded Spruce
Cardstock: Real Red cut to 4″ x 6″, score on the short side at 1″. Turn and score on the long side at 1″, 2 3/4″, 3 3/4″ and 5 1/2″ and a piece cut to 1 3/4″ x 4″, scored at 2″ and 3″ Basic White for die cutting or punching
Accessories: 1 3/8″ punch, 2″ punch, Adhesive Backed Peppermints, Red and White Baker’s Twine, Decorative Topper Punch

My third giftable this week contains everyone’s favorite Lindt chocolate Balls we turn into a little wreath. The possibilities are endless on this for color combinations of red, striped, blue green balls with various ribbons.
I choose Green Peppermint flavor and red and white Peppermint flavor.
I tried this with various numbers of truffles, but I found 5 to be the perfect number to create the circle needed.
