Everyone loves homemade sweets during the holidays.  Here are two of my favorite recipes that you can package in papercrafted boxes.  The boxes come blank.
Order here at our on-line store. Then cut windows with Nesties and cover the window with clear plastic.  Here are some yummy recipes.

Peanut Butter Party Mix

If you need quick and easy gifts for the Sunday school class, book club, students or anyone who likes to read, consider making bookmarks.  A simple tag decorated and bearing a ribbon or tassel can be made from scraps.  Or, cut a corner from an envelope, cover with paper and decorate it.  This slides over the corner of the page to keep your place.  My samples today were big paper clips.  Tie a ribbon to the top and then cover with two back to back punched or diecut circles.  Add embellishments or stamped images.  This is a useful gift that will last forever.  And when the recipient uses it they’ll b thinking of you.
