Snowman Magnet Tray packaging

Yesterday I showed you some gifts that my nail tech commissioned me to do (see them HERE!)  While looking for those small magnet trays, I found these larger narrow magnet trays on Amazon that are 2-3/4 x 9 and thought they would be perfect for holding Stampin’ Up! dies while my stampers are using them.  I know how easy those small dies can be lost on a messy desk.  I have a knife bar from years ago that I use but thought this looked even better.  I believe they are actually made for holding small automotive pieces.

 

I wanted to add some candy to the tray, so found these Peppermint Bark Bars that were a PERFECT size to add to the packaging!

 

Because of the awkward size, I looked for an acetate box to hold the tray and candy.  Found these boxes on Clear Bags that measure approx. 3 x 10 x 2.

Next up is decorating!  Snowmen are my favorite decoration for winter holidays, so I made these.  I think it is safe to show them now that almost everyone has received their gift.

Stampin’ Details:

• The snowman body is 2-1/2 x 8-1/2 Basic White cardstock.
• The hat is 1-3/4 x 2-1/4, and the brim is 1/2 x 3.  A 1/4 x 2-1/4 strip of Heartwarming Hugs DSP is the hat band.
• Two punches of the holly leaves with the retired punch from Garden Green cardstock and a retired Red Glitter Dot for the hat decoration.
• The eyes are 3/8″ circles, the mouth is five 1/4″ Circles, and the buttons are 3/4″ circles punched from Basic Black cardstock.   They are highlighted with a White Gel Pen.
• The cheeks were sponged with Flirty Flamingo Ink with a sponge dauber.
• The nose is the end of the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch, then highlighted with a Pumpkin Pie Marker for the carrot lines.
• The bow is retired 1-1/4″ red Striped Ribbon.
• The snowman was adhered to the acetate box with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

 

Aren’t they just the CUTEST!  I loved making them for my stampers!  I have a couple more ready to assemble…wonder who I should give them to?  lol!
