Shamrock Treat Boxes



 I have friends coming by later today so I made a few of these St. Patrick's day treat boxes that hold a Lindor truffle candy inside. I used a Lawn Fawn tiny gift box die set to create the boxes; then used the matching stitched circle die with some gold mirror card to make the golden "coins." I have a lot of shamrock stickers I've collected through the years, so I put a large one in the center of the coin, and placed a smaller sticker on each of the other sides of the box. I've always loved making little treats to hand out to others and I managed to use most of those stickers at the same time.

I'll share with these challenges:

Wishing you all a very happy Monday as well as a great week ahead.

Oh my, Carol....you know how much I love treat boxes and seeing yours just makes me smile! Love everything about them from the style of the box, the gold foil and the shamrock stickers! May I ask what you put inside? I just made some St Patrick's Day treats for a challenge and used the Hershey Nuggets that are wrapped in gold wrappers. Your friends are going to love them because who doesn't love a sweet surprise! Awesome job! TFS and wishing you a wonderful, sunshiny day!

Precious! You always make the best treats for people. I know they're going to love these too. Great idea to give that little something to someone and make the container as good as what's inside.

Very well done!! I'm so glad to see you have done some treats boxes for your friends as is your habits :) and also that you are using up your hoarded stash!
Love the idea of the gold circle as "coins" and they look great with the green shamrock stickers! The tiny ones compliments the boxes so well.
Have a lovely evening with your friends!! Big hugs and best wishes for lovely days ahead! So glad to hear that Spring is coming also in your part of the world!

Such a clever gift to welcome your friends, both cute and yummy! And a fun, festive idea to layer the shamrocks on "gold coins" and around the box. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Color Hues!
