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!

These are so adorable! Thanks so much!
Adorable & perfect!!! I can’t believe how lucky you were to find everything that went together so well. This is a most excellent gift! Thanks for sharing!!
These are so cute! I would love to have one (hint)! I only have a couple of customers but I have lots of friends who need help corralling loose dies. Can you share the sites on Amazon or tell us what to search for? The snowmen are just too cute to not share with friends. Let alone the candy for them? Nail metal trays? I don’t do finger nails so no idea of what they are for let alone what they are called. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. Happy holidays…off to check out the gifts of good taste tutorial thing.
Hi Chris…they are called Magnetic Trays and Amazon has all shapes and sizes of them. They are an automotive accessory, I guess. The ones I got are actually sold out, but these are very similar. The long ones for my snowman gifts and the smaller ones for my nail tech’s gifts. The peppermint bark candy came from Dollar Tree.
