It’s really difficult to say “no” to Mrs. Clause – and she really, really wants you to fall in love with the Takeout Treats Bundles. Buried in the Halloween section of Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Holiday Catalog, these teeny tiny treat boxes (the finished project is approximately 2-1/8″ x 1-3/4″ x 2″) are perfect for a variety of holidays. I decorated my Poppy Parade treat box with Mrs. Claus, who (I believe) just finished baking the tiny cookies I tucked inside. Here’s my project:
To create this box, I simply ran the large Takeout Thinlits Die through the Big Shot Twice, folded along the scored edges and assembled the box with a little Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Tear & Tape Adhesive. Here’s a look at how this treat container closes on top (just like your favorite takeout food):
I added a little “Yum!” sentiment behind Mrs. Claus. It’s stamped in Poppy Parade on Thick Whisper White cardstock and cropped it with a tag die from the Takeout Thinlits Dies that were used to make the box. A perfect accent, don’t you think? Here’s a look at the Takeout Treats Bundle I used to create my little box:
Over the past week, I shared some of the projects I made with my local club. I also wanted my awesome club members to see how adorable these Takeout Thinlits Dies are, so I designed this project and packed the supplies for each of them to make one. After I finished my Mrs. Claus (I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Signs of Santa image on Whisper White cardstock before coloring her with a mix of Smoky Slate, Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Petal Pink and Pool party Stampin’ Blends. Boy! That would take forever in club, so…
The Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper includes a boatload of images that can be cropped with the Santa’s Signpost Framelits Dies – and many of them come with a playful white flocking on the image. Much easier to just cut Mrs. Claus out. On that one page alone, you can get:
- 10 Mrs Claus
- 8 signposts
- 8 standing elves (Garden Green)
- 10 walking elves (Poppy Parade)
- 8 stacks of presents
- 8 wagons
AND you get TWO pages in each order of this paper. There are more elves and a Santa cutout on a different page. Such fun! Here’s a closer look at the Signs of Santa Bundle:
And here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the coordinating Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper (the first design on the first row and pages 1, 3 & 5 on the second row have white flocking that you’ll want to run your finger over):
The Takeout Thinlits Dies include an isosceles trapezoid (go geometry!) that fits perfectly on the front of this treat box. I cut two from a Poppy Parade polka-dotted paper in the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper to add to the sides. The pieces are too wide for the sides, so I trimmed away at the sides until I arrived at the exact size I wanted. Go geometry!

Thanks so much, Maria! I had fun with this little treat holder. <3
What a cute project, Brian. Love the Mrs Claus diecut. The die for the box really makes it easy to put these fun boxes together. TFS. Have a great day!
SO easy! It’s a perfect size for quick assembly. We had fun with this one, Hilda! Thanks. <3
How cute is that! Nicely done. Oh, and thanks for counting and reporting the number of elves, etc. on each sheet of DSP. (Too much time on your hands? )
You forget I’m an accountant – it’s what I do. 🙂 Thanks so much, my friend.

Tfs hugs Frenchie ♥️
Such a fun pack of papers and stamps. Glad you like it, Frenchie! <3
Oh Brian – You’ve made just the perfect little container to put on every desk in the office for a sweet holiday surprise. I love the idea of putting a smile on the face of every coworker (not necessarily office workers) to start their day. I can picture it for every holiday especially Halloween and Easter. But then you said that nastiest of words – the “G” word! Oh the nights I struggled with that class until I finally realized that to conquer it you couldn’t use common sense, you just had to accept the theorems. Bingo – happy student. LOL I just love the stamp set you used. Beautiful as always.
Thanks so much, Grace! I am so glad you like the project – this is a really fun treat box. <3 I loved everything about all of my mathematics classes in school, but I also love my English and science classes. Thanks for your comments! <3
Completely adorable . . . a slight resemblance to Miss Mary King?
Tee hee! Thanks, Mary! <3
Sweet! My box die bundle arrived Friday and I hope to play with them today. I have a full pack of pumpkin pie cardstock so I will start with fall or Halloween. Mrs. Claus is just so cute on there. Thanks for letting us know the breakdown of the characters as I was going to fussy cut them out for cards. This is just really cute.
Thanks so much, Chris! You’ll really enjoy playing with this set of dies! So many goodies in that bundle! <3
So adorable. Thanks for the cut out tips. I just had a customer order that whole suite and will pass this blog post along to her.

This is so irresistible! I love Poppy Parade and am so glad it’s back! I also love that SU is creating dies to cut out DSP. I enjoy all of your posts – your projects are always so carefully prepared!
Thanks so much, Mary! When I joined Stampin’ Up!, Poppy Parade was on its way out, so I never worked with it before this. I love the shade – so fun, so bright. Thanks for your kind words. <3
