Treat Boxes With A Seal

(Please, please, please check out the new Play Date Cafe challenge by scrolling down or by clicking HERE)

I know. Crazy town. You don't hear from me in days and then I have two posts in one day. It's all good for everyone involved though.

So, today the gang from Technique Tuesday are sharing all of the fun they've been having with the new Signed, Sealed and Delivered stamps. These stamps are rockin' awesome because they only cost $2.99 (that's like the same cost as a giant-sized candy bar) and they can be used with a 1 3/4" circle punch.
Punch = less work for you. These work great for all kinds of projects. In fact, I found they are perfect to top off a little treat box.


Hmmm, I wonder what could be inside?



IT'S BROWNIES!

And not just any brownies, diet ones, at only 103 calories per delicious piece. If you want to give the recipe a go yourself, I found it HERE. Trust me, they are perfect for that chocolate craving. And, if you want to give them away, you can make a pretty little box, just like I did.

Speaking of boxes, it is amazingly simple to make your own. I just figure out what size I want the bottom to be (these are 2.25"), and add the height twice to figure out the length and width. So, I made mine an inch and a half high. Take that times two, you get 3" and add 2.25" to get 5.25". So, I cut a 5.25" square and then score it all the way around at 1.5". Then you simply fold and cut the corners; then glue. The lids are a little bit trickier, but you can figure it out, right?

Ok, so have I convinced you that these Seal stamps are amazing yet? Be sure to check out the Technique Tuesday blog to see how the other girls are using them as well.
