12 Days of Christmas

 Hello, my friends!

I had so much fun making this new Christmas project!
I'm calling it the 12 Days of Christmas
because I made 12 little treat boxes.
If you doubled it, and made 24,
then you would have a wonderful advent collection!

To make this project, I used the adorable Gift Carton Die Set from the Maker's Movement,
along with the fabulous Reindeer Christmas Collection from Relatively Thoughtful.

These papers all coordinate so beautifully and they're great quality,
just perfect for this little carton.
The die cuts brilliantly and they're so easy to put together.

Here's my little collection:

I cut one die and one tag from 12 different papers.
I adhered the bottom of the carton closed.

I folded the matching tag over the top of the carton,
and stapled it in place using my tiny attacher.

I then curled the tags up a little bit so that they could be placed in rows.

This is the back.
To keep all 12 cartons contained I made a little tray from kraft cardstock.
I added strips of the pretty plaid paper to finish it off.

Here's a closer look at one of the cartons.

Isn't it the cutest thing?
There's lots of room to tuck a little gift inside:

goodie, money, jewelry, etc.

It might be a bit small to fill with the actual "12 Days of Christmas" items
but there are so many creative ways to fill them!
A name or number can be written on the tag.

Here's one final view from the top. 

Let me know if you have any questions about the tray.
Another option would be to attach a ribbon to the top
and hang the cartons on the tree! :o)
