SPD November ProjectPea Blog Hop

Welcome to SugarPea Designs November Project Pea Blog Hop!
Each month we challenge our fabulous team of ProjectPea Designers to create FUN & CREATIVE projects that are sure to make you look at your stamp sets with brand new eyes!

 One of my favorite tools lately is my Envelope Punch Board
I have been wanting to make these cracker boxes ever since I saw Connie's tutorial on pinterest to make them HERE.  I made three different types using the newest SPD releases.
 These are really quite easy to whip up. 
I die cut a window on the fold using Sugar Cuts Layered Treat Labels and cut another circle for my tag after I stamped my outline circle using Layered Treat Labels.  Then I stamped my sentiment and candy canes from Sweet Treats - Christmas .
 This one captures the true meaning of Christmas
After I made my box using metallic paper, I made a wrapper and I heat embossed my sentiment all around using Lost Without You
This release isn't just for winter/Christmas. 
I combined the sentiment from Have An Ice Day and Sugar Cuts Layered Treat Labels to make this cute label and popped it on top. I left my tails long on my black twine bows. I am using up some fall paper, but you'd never know.
