Christmas Treat Box

This cute Christmas Treat Box is perfect for holiday gift giving. I designed the box to fit a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake. These special cakes are only available during the holidays. Once you have made one of these cute treat boxes, you will need to make at least four more to use up all the Little Debbie cakes that come in a box.

Originally, I came across the box design from “In the Pink”. When I followed her instructions I found that the box was slightly too small (at least for the cakes that I was using). So, I tweaked the measurements, added a back panel of DSP, and came up with a ton of different color combinations as well as tree decorations.

The front of each box features a tree from the Decorative Trees die set. Primarily, I used three different tree “trimmings” – the swirlies, the garland, and the snowflakes. Behind each tree I used a die from the Traditional Labels die. The variety is endless as far as paper combinations, colors, and tree trimmings.

Video Tutorial

To learn how to make the box, I created a video tutorial. You can watch it here. In addition, I added a pdf tutorial in my store here on my blog for those who want easy access to all the written directions. You can access the pdf tutorial here.

Thank you for stopping by the Creative Treehouse today! I’m so glad you are here. Why not leave a comment to let me know what you like about the Christmas Treat Box project, which color combination would you like to try with your first box, or just say “hi”?
