Step-by-Step Guide to Decorating Your Book Treat Boxes

1. Prepare Your Book Treat Boxes

Before assembling your Book Treat Boxes, use Garden Green Ink to color the separate pieces with a sponge dauber and then assemble. These sturdy, book-shaped boxes provide the perfect blank canvas for your creativity.

2. Choose Your DSP

Select your favorite patterns from the Reindeer Days 12″x12″ DSP to cover the “book cover” of the treat boxes.

Cut 7″x4″ and score along the 7″ side @ 3″ and 4″

Use a ROUND CORNER PUNCH to shape the corners.

Use a bone folder to ensure crisp edges and smooth application. Pro tip: mix and match patterns for a whimsical, layered look.
Cut the inside of the Box: 2 5/8″ x 3 3/8″
Cut the inside of the Box Cover: 2 13/16″ x 3 3/4″

3. Add Sentiments and Layers

Use cards from the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack for the inside as colorful accents and sentiments to your boxes. These pre-printed cards make layering quick and effortless.
Incorporate pieces from the Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemeral Pack to create dimension and a touch of sparkle. Layer these with stamped images from the Reindeer Fun Bundle for added charm.

4. Stamp and Die-Cut Magic

Die cut shapes (gift boxes, holly, wreaths, reindeer, sleigh bells) from the Reindeer Fun Bundle and use any holiday embellishments (candy canes) to embellish the front.
Attach these elements to your boxes using Dimensionals for a 3D effect. Don’t forget to add embellishments like the Adhesive Backed Peppermint candies and rhinestones to enhance your designs.

5. Finishing Touches

Personalize each box with holiday greetings. Use banners and sentiments from the Joyful Sayings Pack.
