st. patrick's day treat boxes

Hello! Or should I say "top o' the morning to ya" ?? ;)  I just wanted to share these super cute little treat boxes I made to display at the Pebbles In My Pocket store in Orem, Utah.  I loved working with the "Lots o' Luck" collection by Doodlebug!  THIS is the cut file (by Lori Whitlock) that I used for the cute boxes.

I used THIS paper for the shamrock shapes.

And aren't THESE stickers the cutest???

Of course, I used foam adhesive squares behind my stickers for a bit of extra dimension.

And THIS is the cute rainbow paper I used for the actual box part.

I love that I can create special treat boxes for pretty much any occasion with my Silhouette Cameo!

quick and easy thanksgiving treat packets | pebbles inc.

I'm going to start my Thanksgiving prep with some fun little treat packets for some of my sweet neighbors.  Every mom needs a little treat (full of sugary goodness) when she's knee-deep in Holiday prep, so I'm sending some goodies their way! Thanksgiving treat packets by @wendysue with the "Midnight Haunting" collection from @PebblesInc.
 Aren't they cute?  You'd never guess they had their beginnings in a Halloween collection, would you?!?  Here's how easy these packets are to whip up: Start by cutting a 9" x 6" rectangle from patterned paper.  Add scallops to the top and bottom edges with a punch or decorative scissors if you wish:

 Use red sticky tape to secure the two outside edges together to form a tube:

 Next, press the bottom edges together:

 Use a sewing machine to secure the bottom edges together.  If you cut scallops, be sure to line them up!

 This is how it looks after the bottom is sewn closed.  Place the treats inside now!

 Next, cut a label shape from a coordinating paper:

 And fold it in half:

 Use a staple to secure the label across the top of the filled packet:

Add a sticker or a die-cut to cover the staple:

Finally, wrap the packet with twine and tie in a bow!

 That's it! Complete!

mini thankful banner and treat boxes | doodlebug design

I love adding little festive touches to our Fall decor to turn it into "Thanksgiving" decor, so I'm switching up this simple frame with a little "Thankful" banner!  And, don't look now, but I'm making some little party favor type boxes to fill with delicious white chocolate popcorn!


Since Doodlebug didn't come out with a new collection for Fall or Thanksgiving this year, I wanted to use some of my favorite fall colors from the basics collection.  I used a leaf die to cut each colorful leaf and beautiful gold "Abigail" letter stickers to create each flag on the banner. Each set of leaves is connected to the banner with a gold or brown mini clothespin.

I used some pre-made craft boxes for the treats, but, of course, I doodlebugified them!!

I used the same leaf die-cuts, along with mini doilies, mini clothespins, and doodle twine.

Then I filled each one with yummy white chocolate covered popcorn!

Wouldn't it be cute to add a name to each clip and use these as placecards for Thanksgiving?!?

To sum up, I'm super thankful for all things Doodlebug!  I'm always inspired when I pull out Doodlebug products to create!  Hopefully you're finding time to be grateful and celebrate it over the coming weeks!
