Today’s project is a treat holder sized to fit a Merci chocolate featuring the Art In Bloom Bundle!

I love the possibilities with this bundle! And how cute is this treat holder?! Here’s what the inside looks like:

I’m calling it a half shadow box! Much easier to construct than a full shadow box! This project perfectly complements yesterday’s card and would be a great duo to brighten someone’s day! Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:
Here’s the shadow box inside template for reference (not to scale):

Another adorable project, cute for teacher appreciation week!
I made the Merci shadow box and all went well. But when I did the wrap to go around it the measurements didn’t work. I will spend some time tonight trying to figure it out The 1″ score at each end made that end to wide and the middle was the same depth as the depth of the box, so there wasn’t slide room. The front and back were ok but if you change the rest that too has to be changed. I’m getting a headache, lol. I’ve probably made myself clear as mud. Thanks for your videos and all you do.
Hi Lani! It sounds link maybe you punched before you scored the wrap? You need to score first and then punch and it should work!
Hi Julie,
I ordered the Many Messages Bundle on June 2, 2021, and received the stamp set, but not the Dies set. I did receive the Suit & Tie Dies set, that I don’t recall ordering. Looking back through my orders I do not see that set being ordered. Have I done something wrong or was the wrong dies sent to me in the bundle?
Thank you for your help.
Hope you are having a good week.
Best, Candace Edgren
Hi Candace! Stampin’ Up! is closed today, but I have sent an email to have the Messages Die sent to you! They sent the Suit & Tie Dies to you in error. Once I hear back, I will update you! So sorry for the inconvenience! ♥
Love the new fold for the treat idea! I look forward to all your fun ideas
How can the shadow box be resized to fit a Hersey snack size candy bar. I just love this project and have 24 snack size bars to use. Thank you.
Mine didn’t turn out. When I scored at 4 1:4 from each side it didn’t give me much room when I folded in half
Which Tag Topper Punch are you using? Is your starting piece 8-15/16” long?
Love the video and the creativity of the treat box. Your easy, simple directions really make me want to give this project a try. Your tip with the die cuts and embossing folder is sheer genius!
Thank you so much, Rebecca!
