October 21, 2017
Stampin' Blends Markers, available November 1, 2017!!
Watch my video below for tips on how to color and shade this cute "Seasonal Chums" snowman! I created this fun mini Pizza Box for a Luv 2 Stamp Group event and now I'm sharing with you!
I hope you like this sweet little Mini Pizza Box!! It is one of the 7 projects I prepared and brought for my Luv 2 Stamp group to create today at our Holiday Catalog stamping day! I hope they enjoy it! The snowman is stamped in Memento Black ink on Thick Whisper White cardstock and colored with the new Stampin' Blend markers! Demonstrators were able to preorder these new markers Oct. 1 - 15, and GREAT NEWS! the markers be available to customers on Nov. 1st!! Watch the video below for more info about using these great new alcohol markers to shade this cute snowman!
Please enjoy the tips in my VIDEO TUTORIAL BELOW for shading the snowman with the Stampin' Blends markers.

Per my video above, you saw that I die cut the snowman with the matching Seasonal Tags framelit, but only used 1/2 of the stamp and framelit. I just added the snowman "front" to my Mini Pizza box with Stampin' Dimensionals rather than die cutting the whole thing and making a folding tag.

What would you put in this cute Mini Pizza Box this Christmas to give someone?
Leave me a comment below.. I'm going to pick my favorite idea and send this box to the winner next week!! :)
The top of the Mini Pizza Box is a 3-1/4" square of Pool Party cardstock, embossed with the Winter Wonder snowflake embossing folder, and then I added Wink of Stella to the snowflake.
As you can see above, I also colored a couple of the reindeer with the Stampin' Blends markers and then I made this cute Mini Pizza Box with both the snowman and reindeer! :)

Hot chocolate with a little bag of mini marshmallows and a candy cane stirring stick would be adorable. Or an instant snowman making kit, raisins for eyes, carrot nose etc. I love these mini pizza boxes. Yours is really cute.

I placed that order and guess what????? It was shipped the same day so I will have it next week..... SOOOOO excited.... I ordered some pizza boxes awhile ago but I want some more,,, lots more,,,,,lol..... They are PERFECT size for sooo many things and I'm afraid they won't be in the next BIG catalog so I gotta stock up..... Decorating them for each season will be fun to give as gifts.... Have a great weekend.

I made a little cold kit that I saw on someone's blog. It has a pack of tissues, lip balm, cough or throat drop & a little vitamin C drink pack in it. I'll try to post a pick to our group w/ the idea.

I've put sets of 3 x 3 note cards and envelopes in the pizza boxes, but plan to use them for Christmas gifts of jewelry as well. For my stampers, I've filled them with embellies, which they LOVE! They also love getting one filled with 3 x 3 papers to use as they wish. Hope they don't discontinue them - tey're a winner.

Hi Patty, What an adorable idea!!! Now I need to order some pizza boxes quickly. I plan on putting inside my gourmet s’mores kit complete with a snowman marshmallow peep, a couple of graham crackers squares and a Ghirardelli chocolate square or two or three...however many will fit. Thanks for your inspiration and cool ideas!

Hi Patty! I loved your video!! Great tips! I would put a doily on the bottom, then make snowman soup, there is also an adorable poem to go with it! Cocoa packet, mini marshmellows, 2 hershey kisses, and a mini candy cane. I sell them in packets and they sell out at my craft fairs!!!
Thanks again!

Peppermint latte (Star Bucks), and some small wedding cookies with white powdered sugar. Maybe a cane cane for stirring.

I would put a cute pair of Christmas socks in the box! Love your projects!

Gummy pizza candy would be perfect.

Love your pizza box and the video! I think it would be fun to put a fun note inside and out the box I. A lunch for someone I. Your family. Maybe even a series of notes to be opened each day for a week.

What I would love to receive in the box: a nice piece of jewelry! What I would put in the box: I am thinking of making scissors charms out of shrinky dinks and the crafting forever stamp set for my local craft group and putting that and a tag with their initial and some pretty ribbon into the box so we can all identify our paper snips. Still working on all the details....

I think it would be fun to put in the supplies to make a memory wire bracelet with blue beads and snowflake charms, would kind of follow the snowman or winter theme of the box. I just love these new pizza boxes!

What a darling gift - your coloring is just perfect! I think this box would be perfect for some "Christmas dough" as a fun way to present some cash. There are some really pretty mirror compacts out there, which would probably fit and be a nice gift for a girl. Or some of those single-serving spa treatments from the drugstore - those are just about the right side folded in half. A small bag of "snowman soup" would also be perfect, tucked into our little cello bags and folded into the pizza box. Some flatter ornaments might also fit, which would be a cute place setting or stocking stuffer. Thanks for sharing - can't wait to grab my stamp set now and get coloring :)

These boxes are just the cutest! I'd give someone a pizza shop gift card in one.
