At Christmas time I usually take a little something to a few of our neighbors. For some years now it’s actually been the same thing every year but packaged in a different way. I make them an Almond Chicken Cheese Ball and include a sleeve of crackers. I like to drop them off in the afternoon on Christmas eve and then they can use it that night or Christmas day as a yummy little appetizer. It’s always a big hit.
This year I decided to use the Take Out boxes in the Holiday Catalog – which have also been included in the Occasions Catalog. Inside the box is the cheese ball and the crackers. To dress up the box I used some of the Crumb Cake scalloped Tulle Ribbon – it has been on the Clearance Rack – it was in a Holiday catalog a while back. Cut a piece wrap it around the box and tie in a quick bow. Then I added the tags from the November Paper Pumpkin Kit! Quick, easy and they looked so festive with the blue & silver.
If you are a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber you can still get this get as a refill – just add it to an order – It includes the supplies for the tags and the cards – just not the stamps or ink – but you can use what you already have in your stash. Simply Snowflake Refill Item #136919 for $7.95 – supplies for 8 cards and 12 tags.
Adapt this idea for other holidays or just for taking a hostess gift or a new neighbor gift over. Add ribbon and a tag around the box filled with something yummy to share.

As Christmas approaches – quickly, very quickly – you may need some packaging ideas. I used one sheet of 12×12 Under the Tree Specialty Designer Paper to create this gift box and 3 tags.
Use the Gift Box Punch board to create a box from a 10 x 10″ piece of the thick printed Kraft paper – it’s the Under the Tree paper and perfect for boxes. The 2″ pieces left over are what I used to make the tags and punch the trees.
The box is tied with a piece of Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon.
For the tags – cut the tops with the Scallop Tag Topper punch. I used the corner rounder punch on the bottom corners. For the tops add a piece of the Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and tie it with a piece of Linen Thread. To decorate the tags – add a punched tree. Finish with a star and the word window punch using one of the greetings from the Festival of Trees stamp set.
Quick and cute for the holidays!
Here is a full list of the supplies:
