It's the last week for our Dear Santa Event at A Blog Named Hero and today it's all about making things in 10 minutes or less.

I've made these cute Triangle Treat Boxes that are quick and simple to put together. You can put chocolates, candy or other goodies inside.

They would be great for a holiday table with a box at each persons table setting and you can customize the box with everyone's initials.

You could also use them to make advent calendars with the date on the front of each box.

These can be made with patterned paper or you can stamp your own design.

Isn't this die cut tree cute?  I covered it with Flower Soft for some texture.

You can decide how complicated or simple you want the boxes to be.

And it's not just for Christmas, they would be great for birthday party favours or as a birthday crafting project with the kids.

Here's a video to show you how to assemble the box.

Dear Santa At A Blog Named Hero


It's week three of our Dear Santa celebration at A Blog Named Hero and we're all about home decor.

I had a tough time with this category, I really don't make many decor items using stamping but in the end I came up with something for my niece's bedroom wall.

I bought some wooden butterflies (about 4" across) at the dollar store and painted them with gesso and Distress Paints and then stamped on them.  While the ink was still wet I added Prisma Glitter, because every young girl likes a little bit of sparkle!

I hope she'll like them.
