2009 Christmas Candy Box

Merry Holidays everybody!! Here’s my 3rd annual Christmas candy box. I’ve been a little stumped with ideas for what to do this year. LAME. So 40 hours, a pep talk from Chris and a few temper tantrums later, here it is. My gift to you.

The color scheme was inspired by 100 Layer Cake’s Red + Green colorboard. Have you been to that blog before? It’s a fabulous resource, wedding or no. I pretty much drool out the side of my mouth every time I visit that site. The pattern was inspired by Orla Keily and one of my favorite wallpapers.

I really hope you enjoy this printable and USE IT! I plan on using these for the annual candy party with my mom and sisters. Oh, and if you don’t celebrate Christmas, it’s fairly holiday neutral, so feel free to use it for your holiday celebrations, or anything. Ever! Click on the button below to download for free.

The assembled box measures about 3.25 in x 3 in x 1.5 in, which is perfect for homemade caramels, chocolates, jewelry, etc. Let me know how you’re using it! I’d love to see pictures or hear about what you did, so please comment!

These are awesome, Melissa! Very creative. I plan to use them- just not right away considering that a) I am traveling and b)my printer can’t take cardstock at the moment… but when I do use them, I will take some pictures or tell you about them. I’m glad they are holiday neutral :)
Thanks again!

Those are so cool! I’m planning to give some of my famous Christmas peanut butter balls this year….although I haven’t started shopping, let alone baking so maybe it won’t happen this year. (But there’s still some time…and the shopping mission is this afternoon so hopefully that will be done very soon!)

These little boxes seem perfect! I’m definitely subscribing to your beautiful blog.

Thanks so much!

Hi Melissa – Just wanted to thank you for this great little box. I appreciate talented designers like you who share their work so freely! I posted about your box yesterday on my blog about gift wrapping…I can totally see my readers using this outside of the holiday season!
