I love to create little treat boxes and the recent Autumn Archives Collection by Kelly Bangs release from Spellbinders was the perfect fit. (Affiliate links are used throughout at no additional cost to you. Any small commission I make goes toward my craft fund so I can continue to create and share with you. xx)
Supplies used:
Autumn Archives Embellishment Bundle*
Autumn Archives Cardstock Die Cuts
Autumn Archives Chipboard Die Cut Stickers
Autumn Archives Chipboard Alphabet Stickers
Storytelling Adventure Prints 12"x12" Printed Paper (on clearance for only $3.90!)
Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month Club: Gilded Weave
* The bundle includes the cardstock die cuts, alpha chipboard stickers, and chipboard stickers at a bundled discount.
The alpha are such a beautiful size, measuring 1.5" tall, and both of the chipboard sticker sheets themselves are wonderful, compared to other chipboard sticker sheets I have from other companies. The entire back of the chipboard sheet is adhesive and backed with a piece of thin acetate/plastic.
My first ribbon box could be used year round since it doesn't have the same autumn feel as the other three boxes. I love how beautiful the chipboard sticker is on the box and the simple die cut HELLO was the perfect sentiment.
As a note, I trimmed the 12"x12" papers down to manageable 5.5"x7" sizes to die cut the box; you will need two pieces per box.
I picked up the Home Sweet Home house die with one of my recent orders since it is on sale. I bought with the purpose of using with this collection and to fit atop this box. :) Win-win! I used richer colors, pulling a more distressed scrap from Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month Club: Gilded Weave. I used a deeper metallic brown for the roof and door, a rich chocolate brown for the window and door frames, and pulled a scrap of cardstock from the same paper collection for the curtains. I chose to omit the fence for this project. I absolutely adore it! I embellished the other three sides of the box with tree cardstock die cuts.
My final two boxes are for my sweet girls - each featuring their initial. I chose to back each of the letters with kraft cardstock to help them stand out a bit against the patterned cardstock. Now I just have to fill them with little treats!
If you missed seeing my trio of projects using the new clubs, you can find them here: September 2025 Spellbinders Club - Charmed Season.
This year's crafty advent calendars are also still in stock; don't forget to grab them before they are gone.
