GINGERBREAD HOUSE TREAT BOX with SEASONAL LABELS - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Gingerbread House Treat Box.  It measures
2 3/4  x  3 1/2  x  2".  I used Seasonal Label dies, Christmas Tree dies, Layering Circle dies, Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper and Sweet Little Stockings stamp set.



I started with a piece of Real Red Cardstock sized  10  x  5 3/4".
I scored the  10" side at:
2,  4 3/4,  6 3/4  and  9 1/2".
I scored the  5 3/4" side at:
2  and  4 1/2".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after scoring and cutting.


I cut one large label from Gingerbread and Peppermint DSP and one from Real Red Cardstock using the Seasonal Label dies.
I scored the Real Red Cardstock label at 1 7/8".
I attached the shorter side of the label to the back flap of the box with Liquid glue.
I cut the DSP Label to make 2 pieces for the roof.
I cut 1 3/4" down from the scalloped edges and I cut 1/8" off each side.
I attached the pieces to the roof with Liquid Glue.


I attached 4 more pieces of Gingerbread and Peppermint DSP to the box.
(2)  2 1/2  x  2 1/4"  for the front and back.
(2)  1 3/4  x  2 1/4"  for the sides.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.
I attached 5/8" Velcro Dots to the inside of the lid and front flap of the box for a closure.


I cut 2 labels from Real Red Cardstock using the Seasonal Labels dies.
For the doors I cut the long side of the label on both sides to  1 3/4".  I attached the door to the front and back of the box with Liquid Glue.
I used the other label for the windows.  I cut the long side of the label on both sides to 1".
I attached the windows to the sides of the box with Liquid Glue.


I cut 4 Large Trees and 4 Small Trees from Old Olive Cardstock using the Christmas Tree dies.
I snipped the long pieces off.
I attached 2 small trees on each side of the doors.
I attached 2 large trees to each side of the windows.
I attached the trees with Liquid Glue.


I cut a 1 1/8" circle from Basic White Cardstock a 1 3/8" circle from Old Olive Cardstock and the matching Scalloped circle from Real Red Cardstock using the Layering Circle dies.
I stamped the sentiment, from Sweet Little Stockings stamp set, onto the Basic White Circle with Real Red Ink.
I attached the circles together with Liquid Glue.
I attached the entire piece to the front of the roof with Dimensionals.
I tied a bow with White Glittered Organdy Ribbon and attached it to the upper left side of the roof with 2 Glue Dots on the knot.
For the final touches I added Matte Decorative Dots to the Doors and Windows.
