Hey friends! 👋
Raise your hand if you love Halloween crafting! I have a super cute, super fast Halloween treat box that you can whip up in minutes, not hours. Promise!
This little guy is a tag treat box wrapped in the cutest Frightfully Fun Designer Series paper, tied up with the black Iredescent ribbon and linen thread bow 🎀, and decorated with a black die-cut tree, a glowing yellow crescent moon, and a sweet little bat flying across it 🦇🌙. Add a "TRICK OR TREAT" label on the front and... done! Halloween magic, no fuss required. ✨
I love projects like this because they prove you don't need a million steps (or a million supplies!) to make something that looks totally cute. This one's perfect for:
Hi friends! I am SO excited to share today's project with you — a super cute DIY Fall Pumpkin Treat Box. 🧡
I know, I know... I just wrapped up my whole Christmas in July series (can you believe it?! 🎄), but I couldn't wait one more second to jump into some spooky-cute Halloween crafting with you all!
This little box is 3" x 3" x 2-1/2" base, but the real magic is in that scalloped lid edge — it mimics the ridges of a pumpkin so perfectly, and paired with a rolled cardstock stem, curled paper "vines," and some linen thread, it just says pumpkin the second you see it. 🎃✨
This box is begging to be filled with all your favorite treats — candy corn, mini chocolate bars, or those adorable Reese's Pumpkins are calling my name already! It'd also be perfect for a teacher gift, a neighbor surprise, or just a sweet little something for your favorite trick-or-treater. 🍬
I'll have the full tutorial up on my YouTube channel Below with all the step-by-step details, measurements, and scoring instructions here on my blog so you can make your own.
Hi friends! Can you believe it — this is the LAST project in my Christmas in July series this year! 😭🎉 And I saved a fun one for you, because today's project is for Quick & Easy Wednesday, which means it's simple, it's fast, and it is SO stinkin' cute.
Say hello to my Christmas Tree Treat Box! 🌲✨
I love that this one goes full 3D — my favorite kind of project to make (and hopefully your favorite kind to watch me make 😁). It's built from layers of die-cut circles, stacked up like the branches of a little evergreen, so it comes together way faster than it looks like it should.
Why I Love This Project
Honestly, this is exactly the kind of project I love! Layering circles into a tree shape is such a simple technique, but the payoff is SO cute, and it comes together quickly enough for a Quick & Easy Wednesday. If you've got extra circle die cuts sitting in your scraps pile, this is the perfect project to use them up. 🙌
That wraps up my Christmas in July series for this year, friends! Thank you so much for crafting along with me all month — I had so much fun dreaming up these treat boxes, and I hope you did too. 💚 Be sure to check out the full video for all the details on how I put this Christmas Tree Treat Box together!
You guys, I am SO excited to share this one with you! 😍 This might be my favorite project from this whole Christmas in July series so far — it's a big, beautiful hexagon gift box, and I made it in two different colorways because I honestly couldn't pick just one! 🙈
This box is a good size, friends — we're talking room for a real stash of sweet treats, or even a small gift if that's more your style. 🎁 It closes up with the prettiest ribbon bow on top, and I finished each one off with a scalloped "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" tag, because... well, isn't it? 🥰
I made a fun green version with a cardinal and little pine trees, and a classic red-and-white version with a poinsettia patchwork look — and I genuinely can't decide which one I love more. Maybe you can help me decide? 👇
Six sides means six chances to mix and match your favorite Christmas patterned paper, so this one is SO fun to customize to your own style.
Grab your supplies and let's make this one together — full step-by-step tutorial is in the video below! 🎥✨
As always, thanks so much for being here and crafting along with me. Can't wait to see your versions!
Your DIY Christmas Cards Just Got a Serious Upgrade! 🎄✨
Hey friends! Welcome back to another Christmas in July project — and today's is a FUN one (literally, it's a Fun Fold card 😉).
I don't know about you, but I am always looking for ways to make my handmade cards feel a little extra special. A flat card is great, but there's something so satisfying about a card that does something when you open it. That's exactly what this Fun Fold card delivers — it opens up to reveal a sweet "Christmas Joy" sentiment tucked right in the middle, and it's guaranteed to make whoever receives it smile before they even read the words. 🥰
Why I love a Fun Fold card
If you haven't tried a Fun Fold before, this is a great one to start with! It's easier than it looks, and the "reveal" moment when the card opens makes it feel so much more special than a standard card — perfect for gifting or even just displaying on a mantel over the holidays.
I'll be walking through the whole process step by step in the video, so grab your Stampin'up! Pretty Poinsettias Bundle and the A stitched Season Designer Series Paper and let's make some magic together! 🎬
As always, thanks so much for stopping by — I'd love to know in the comments what you think of this one, and if Fun Fold cards are something you'd like to see more of this Christmas in July season!
Hey friends! Today's Quick & Easy project is SO cute and comes together in no time — a Christmas Matchbook Treat Holder made with the Stitched Stocking Bundle! 💚❤️
I made two versions because I couldn't pick a favorite: a green plaid one with punched-out little trees, and a red polka-dot one with sweet snowflakes. Both get a pretty ribbon tie and the "may all your days be Merry & Bright" sentiment stamped right on front.
This is the perfect handmade gift for a neighbor, teacher, or stocking stuffer — easy enough to whip up a whole batch in an afternoon, but it still looks like you spent hours on it! 😊
Watch the full tutorial BELOW, and let me know in the comments which colorway is your favorite — green or red? 👇

Say hello to my Reindeer Treat Box — and yes, it's every bit as fun to make as it is to look at!
I know, I know... it's July. But between you and me, Christmas planning waits for no one, and this cutie was too good not to share early. 🙊

This Z-Fold Christmas Card Technique is a Game Changer! 🎄✨
Hey friends! 👋 I am SO excited to share today's Christmas in July Card with you — this one is a total showstopper and I promise it's easier than it looks!
This gorgeous card uses a Z-fold (fun fold) technique that reveals a stunning die-cut poinsettia. I layered the Real Red petals, added gold embossed leaves on each side, and topped it off with a sunny yellow flower center. 😍 It's all nestled on the Framed Violets scalloped oval frame that just pops. I Foiled the green and white gingham gallery DSP with the gold foil swiss dots — I am obsessed with this paper and the Gold Swiss Dots Foil combo!
I love this fold because it adds such a fun "wow" factor without being complicated — your friends and family
will think you spent hours on it! 🙌

I am OBSESSED with how this one turned out. Those soft scalloped edges give the whole box such an elegant, cozy shape, and I layered in a gorgeous A Stitched Season Designeer Series Paper in red, green, and white that just makes it pop. But that poinsettia?! 🌺 That focal image is the true star — it's bold, it's beautiful, and it's giving all the holiday feels.
I finished it off with a sweet "Christmas Wishes" sentiment banner and topped it with a Peaceful Pine ribbon bow, so it's ready to fill with treats and carry straight to someone you love. 🎁

Red or Pink Poinsettia Christmas Gift Boxes - Which Will You Make?? 🌸🎄
Hey friends! 👋 I don't know about you, but I am FULLY in my Christmas in July era, and today's project might just be my favorite one yet — because you get TWO stunning looks from one single box design! 😍I'm calling these my Red or Pink Poinsettia Christmas Gift Boxes, and I could not decide which colorway I loved more, so... I made BOTH. 🙈
The best part? Same construction, same poinsettia die, same "tis the season" sentiment — just a totally different personality depending on your paper and color choices! This is such a great project if you want to make a whole BATCH of gift boxes for gift-giving, because you can customize the look for everyone on your list. 🎀

Christmas in July: Gingham Candy Treat Box 🎄
Hey friends! It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another Quick & Easy project — and today's is a jolly little one! If you've been following along with my Christmas in July series, you know I love using this "off-season" as an excuse to get a head start on holiday gifts (and let's be honest, to play with Christmas paper when it's 100 degrees outside 😅).
This darling little Everyday Arches treat box is wrapped up in gorgeous green Gingham Gallery designer series paper — is there anything more classic than gingham for the holidays? I finished the front with a tree border (be still my heart 🌲), a sweet green ribbon bow, and a sparkly cute button for that extra bit of sparkle.
It's stuffed with candy canes and chocolates — perfect for stocking stuffers, teacher appreciation gifts, or just a "thinking of you" treat for a neighbor or friend. And of course, I couldn't resist finishing it off with a stamped sentiment: "May all your days be Merry & Bright." Because really, isn't that the whole point of the season?

Three's a Charm: Nesting Gift Boxes with Stitched Season! 🎁
Hello my crafty friends!
Christmas in July is officially in full swing over here, and today I am SO excited to share one of my favorite projects yet — a set of THREE nesting gift boxes made with the gorgeous Stitched Season suite!
I love a good box project (you all know this about me by now 😉), but there is something extra satisfying about making boxes that graduate in size and actually nest together. Big box, medium box, little box — stacked up, they are an absolute showstopper under the tree!
The largest box is wrapped in that stunning red patchwork using the A Stitched Season DSP, tied up with red stitched ribbon in a big, bold bow. It's giving cozy quilted Christmas morning vibes and I am obsessed.
The middle box went a totally different direction with a soft green buffalo check paper from the 2026-2028 Gingham Gallery DSP— so classic and timeless — finished with a wintry twine bow and one of the sweetest little snowflake accents.
And the smallest box? She's got a job to do! A "To: From:" tag makes her perfect for that one special little gift that needs no guessing who it's from.
Three sizes, three looks, one seriously satisfying stack. Whether you make all three or just fall in love with one, this is such a fun way to use up your Stitched Season scraps and make gift-giving feel extra special this year.
Full construction details, measurements, and supply list are in the video — go check it out and let me know which box is YOUR favorite in the comments!
Christmas Stocking Treat Box | Christmas in July DIY
Hey, friends! 🎄☀️
Yes, you read that right — we're talking Christmas in July! If you're new around here, Christmas in July is a fun mid-year tradition for crafters for decades. It's basically permission to pull out the red and green, queue up your favorite holiday playlist, and get a head start on Christmas projects — all while it's still warm enough to enjoy a popsicle on the porch. For us paper crafters, it's the perfect excuse to dive into holiday-themed supplies before the year-end rush hits and stock starts disappearing from shelves!
So today, I'm kicking things off with one of my favorite kinds of projects: a Christmas Stocking Treat Box. If you've been here a while, you know 3D projects are my jam — gift boxes, treat holders, favor bags — and this one is an especially sweet one to ring in the season early.
This little stocking-shaped treat box is the perfect blend of festive and functional. Fill it with candy, a gift card, or a few small treats, and you've got an adorable handmade gift ready for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, or just a sweet "thinking of you" surprise. It comes together quickly, which makes it a great Quick & Easy Wednesday project — beginner-friendly, no fancy tools needed, and so much fun to customize with whatever Designer Series Paper speaks to you.
I walk through the whole process step by step in my video, from shaping the stocking to adding that cute ribbon hanger detail. Be sure to check it out if you want to follow along!
All measurements and supplies are listed in my downloadable inspiration sheet so you can craft along without stress. Happy crafting!
