Welcome to day twelve of the 12 Days of Holiday Giving event, and what a wonderful event this has been! We have seen festive layouts, cards, traveler’s notebooks, ornaments, tags, and more, discovered new products from our partners, and found amazing giveaways in each post! But we still have ONE MORE in store for you, and it’s a treat! Let’s take a look at the treat boxes that Mindy Eggen has created to share with us, and find two final giveaways up for grabs!
Welcome crafty friends! This is Mindy and I’m so excited to share my project with you today for the 12 Days of Holiday Giving!
I love making treat boxes but how about we add a lot of sparkle and shine to them? These are sure to make the recipient go “WOW!”
Supplies | Gina K Designs: White Cardstock, White Poly Glaze, Glittering Green Fancy Foil, Radiant Red Fancy Foil, Glimmering Gold Fancy Foil, Fuse Foiling System, Intri-Cut Die Cut Machine; Taylored Expressions: All Tucked In, All Tucked In Holiday Windows, Take A Bow, Acetate, Gold Pearls, Glue Dots, Double Sided Tape
I started with a full sheet of White Poly Glaze from Gina K Designs and foiled the entire panel with a variety of Fancy Foils, including Glittering Green, Radiant Red, and Glimmering Gold. You will need a carrier sheet and laminator to do this. I used my new Fuse Foiling System. It foiled my panels like a dream! You can also do this with toner sheets as well.
Next, I die cut my treat boxes from the foiled panel with the All Tucked In die from Taylored Expressions. Then I created a window in the front of the box with the All Tucked In Holiday Windows. You could also opt to not cut a window if you want the contents to be a surprise, but I think windows are so fun and cute!
I lined the inside of the window with acetate secured in place with double-sided adhesive tape to prevent my treats from popping out.
The rest is scoring and securing the side panels down with your favorite type of adhesive. I used double-sided tape once again, but liquid glue or a tape runner would also work.
One thing I would like to note is do not “work” your fold lines too much, as this can fray the edges of your foiled panels.
On the flip side of the box is a tab that you can slide your scalloped lid into or secure in place with a bit of tape runner. I finished off the top of the box with a bow that I die cut from white cardstock using the Taylored Expressions Take A Bow and added a gold pearl to the center. It’s best to secure these together with a glue dot so they don’t pop off when being passed around or in transit.
These treat boxes are just darling and hold a variety of treats! I have a mix of Rolos, Kisses, and Mini Reeses peanut butter cups. I cannot wait to pass these out! I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration and it has sparked some ideas for you!
Happy Holidays, friends!

Excellent post! Love these shiny, elegant boxes. I really appreciate seeing Taylor’s products used b/c sometimes I have trouble envisioning how to use dies (how they come out) from websites.
These are gorgeous!

My Christmas wish is for peace and tolerance. There is a lot of hurt in the world. If the powers that be would stop fighting and try to figure out how to get along, we’d be better off.

my wish this holiday season is to find the time to get back into my craft room. It’s been a wild year at work and I’ve neglected my artistic therapy. Both of these prizes would kick start my creativity as I have many birthdays early in the year. Thanks for all the prize sponsors for amazing products!
My Christmas wish this year is for all my family and friends to be happy and healthy.
My wish is for my children to be happy and healthy and have a good year at college, for my extended family to remain healthy and happy and for me friends to have all their wishes come true. Oh, and more time for me to craft!!!

My christmas wish is that my mother in law would have a happy holiday season. She is bi polar and the holidays are very hard for her every since her mother passed away many years ago. She will be with us Christmas and we want to make it as easy and stress free for her as we can. I just want her to enjoy and laugh like she used to do.
Beyond winning one of these wonderful prizes, I wish for a year of health and happiness for my family and friends. (The last few years have been tough with getting older and falling apart, and the loss of family members.)
My Christmas wish is for everyone to have a safe and merry Christmas and to make sure to tell your loved ones that you love them. You never know what next year holds but it may be full of health and happiness.

Hi everyone.
My Christmas wish is that all of my grandchildren recover from their illnesses before Christmas.
No more coughs, sneezes, sore throats or fevers, please. There have been so many different viruses in the school system this fall, and it seems like they’ve been perpetually ill for months now! Happy, healthy kids for Christmas morning ????????
My wish is for happiness in our jobs for both my dad and I. We are both stuck trying to find what is right for us at the moment so I hope the new year brings rewarding jobs :)
My Christmas wish is for my Dad’s dementia not to progress too quickly and that he remains healthy, happy and continues to remember us and his grandchildren. Thanks for the opportunity to win these 2 fabulous prizes from Taylored Expressions and Gina K!
Wow! What an awesome prize today! I love Mindy’s treat boxes! My wish is health and happiness for me, my friends and family!
My Christmas wish is that there would be peace around the world.
These treat boxes are so fun! My Christmas wish is that the sweet kitty we recently adopted is healthy and happy living with us in her new home :) Happy holidays!
My Christmas wish is a good outcome for my husband as he battles cancer.
My Christmas wish for this year is peace between Russia and the Ukraine! Sending all positive thoughts to our mentor Yana Smakula! and her country.
We’ve had a fair amount of stress lately, so I’m just hoping for a very relaxed, drama free Christmas with some good family time.
Such cute treat boxes! I know that this is an old and sometimes worn out wish, but with all that is going on in our world, I wish for World Peace. I am truly worried about what state the world (ecologically and politically) will be in for my kids and grandkids in the coming years. Thanks to the sponsors of todays prizes!
What a way to end the event! Those foiled boxes are so beautiful! The prizes are amazing! My Christmas wish is for tolerance and kindness to overcome prejudice & arrogance. Of course, my country & the world won’t magically change. But maybe little, by little, more & more people will decide the current climate isn’t what they want for themselves & their familes.
