Remember, back in the old days of stamping when we had to actually measure and cut and score and fold and engineer our own treat packaging?
I'm THRILLED that those days are gone, and companies come out with cute little dies with windows that take all the math and engineering off our hands so we can just have fun.
We are collaborating with My Favorite Things today, and when I saw their nugget die and matching shaker pouches, I squealed - I used to spend hours constructing little nugget boxes, as they are one of my favorite treats to decorate and give out at drive throughs, etc.
So I went to work on this adorable treat tag by doing the following.
First, I used my Life Changing Blender brushes to apply Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks to a full sheet of label paper, which I cut in half after using this stencil and a wet Absorber to put the heart pattern subtly all over it. I took one half of the paper and stuck it down to white cardstock. I then cut two of the main tag die shapes out of this. Then I took the window portion of the nugget die and cut a window out of one of the tags. If you then take the window piece that it cuts out, you can use the tag topper die on that piece and save a little paper! So that's what I did. Then I lined the two tags up back to back, and I traced the window from the front of the tag onto the back of the other tag. I held the tag up to my magnifying desk lamp and positioned the die that cuts the opening along the trace line and taped it down for die cutting. I set the front tag with the topper up in my MISTI and stamped the sentiment from this hilarious set in Nocturne on the bottom of it.
Next, I took the other half of the label paper and I cut three label wrappers from it with the wrapper die. I did not put this paper on cardstock - I wanted it to be thinner. I lined those up in my MISTI and I stamped the little heart from this set onto each of them. Then I removed the liner from the label paper and wrapped the nuggets - I got the assortment bag so I put one of each in there.
Then I slipped the insert into the tag with the topper. To make it easy to secure, I put 1/8" Scor-Tape around the lip of the little nugget insert. Then I ran Connect Glue all around the edges of the first tag.

Thanks for stopping by.
Love any type of small boxes and shape boxes. They are so fun to give away!
ReplyDeleteMy all time home craft is lip balm. When those lip balm pouches came out; well, talk about a squeal! Now we have Nugget pouches, gift card pouches...it's so stinkin' awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice giveaway. Great ideas too. I have not heard of your company yet so fun find!
ReplyDeleteI love the nugget treat die too - what an adorable and colorful project you created. The MISTI tool has made me fall in love with stamping all over again. It really was a game-changer for me.
ReplyDeleteI like to make a lot of memory albums, baby albums and wedding albums, I also make cards for several different Ronald McDonald Houses.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this Nugget tag die and pouch adorable? I love this set. You have done an amazing job on it Lydia and the sentiment cracks me up every time I see it!
ReplyDeleteI love to make card sets up to give to my non-card making friends and I have to say, since getting a MISTI, it has certainly made that task much more pleasant and quick without the waste of paper! I also have to admit (AND you are absolutely right!) dies have certainly changed things for card making from having to be an 'engineer' to just enjoying the process of making a fun card, box or pouch. I like making lip balm cards/tags too for gift giving.
I enjoying doing the shaker cards and candy cards.
ReplyDeleteI love ways to give gift certificates, there are so many cute choices.
ReplyDeleteLove to give box cards.
ReplyDeleteI love making cards. I send a "Just because" card to a family member or friend every week

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the nugget tag!!
ReplyDeleteMy crafty tribe and I attend several crops a year and the "table gift" competition has gotten out of control. I love to gift anything small and craft-related but its really all about the packaging, not necessarily what's inside. I keep telling myself I don't "need" these nugget pouches but they keep calling my name...
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite companies on one blog hop, yay! My favorite papercraft to give is cards and or sets of cards.
ReplyDeleteI love making little boxes and bags out of paper that match the card. Love using my score board to create unique and cute ways to hold goodies and treats to match the card or gift tag.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, love those vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteSo many great projects in the hop! The only papercrafted things I give are cards!
ReplyDeleteI love creating gift card holders! Gift cards always fit and are always the correct color, lol!! And the holders are so easy to design using the amazing products and inspiration from MFT and MISTI!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like to give hand made cards the most. I also like to give bookmarks, candy filled treat tags, cards with gift cards. All of the above!
ReplyDeleteI adore the colors on your tag Lydia, it looks like a beautiful painting. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteSince most of my nieces & nephews are 16-21 now, I give them a gift card for birthday's and Christmas. So making a card that specifically holds that GC is my favorite papercraft gift. I do also love Valentine's Day with a gift of chocolate like this one that you made here. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love creating boxes sets of cards for friends and family accompanied by little boxes of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat homemade card!
ReplyDeleteGreat project! Love the subtle hearts! My favorite papercrafted giftable is to make card sets to give to someone and I want to try making some fun gift card holders.
ReplyDeleteI love making cards, and my favorite giftable item is lip balm using the MFT lip balm dies and pouches. I used them, with candy cane lip balm, for all of my Christmas cards this past year. The recipients loved them!
ReplyDeleteI love to make cards for both my young granddaughter and for my 91 year old Mom with Alzheimers. She seems to still get pleasure out of a cute card so I try to send her one frequently.
ReplyDeleteI love to make greeting cards for
ReplyDeletemy family and friends. I try
to tailor them to their interests.
For Christmas I gave all of my
Stampin' ladies a shammie in a
plastic case. Keep it wet and
it's a great way to clean off
your stamps when you are working.
thanks for sharing

I make Kleenex box covers for different holidays for friends and family. It is great to stamp sentiments and decorations for the sides with the Misti.
ReplyDeleteCards. I love making and sending cards for any and all occasions!
ReplyDeleteLove how bright and happy that tag is! It will definitely bring a smile to the recipient. I like making a variety of cards: birthday, thanks, feel better, sympathy etc. and packaging them up in some pretty silk ribbon for gift giving.
ReplyDeleteI like to give sets of cards or Christmas tags.
ReplyDeleteAnd even though it wasn’t part of the question, MISTI is one of my best craft buys EVER

Greeting cards would be my favorite since I have not really made any other giftables except for a few gift card holders.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift. I love the chocolate pouch, and the background you made is wonderfully colorful. I love giving card sets as gifts
ReplyDeleteMy favorite papercrafted giftable to give is Bookmarks with inspirational stamps and/or inspirational quotes. Even people that are not "readers" seem to appreciate them and I love making them. I am a huge fan of MFT products, they were the first I fell in love with last year when I started cardmaking. I do not have a MISTI yet but that is definitely at the top of my “must have” list this year!! (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
ReplyDeleteLove this latest item from MFT, and love your project! My favorite papercrafted giftable to make and give is making lip balm holders. Again, another great item from MFT! Thanks for the opportunity to win a great shopping spree!

ReplyDeleteI love this cute little treat tag idea! It's the perfect gift for a crafty friend!
ReplyDeleteReally excited about this collaboration hop. Your little chocolate treat tag is fabulous with all the wonderful colors. I like to create tags as gifts also mason jar covers for those who use mason jars and I put them in a little decorative box.
ReplyDeleteI love to make and give little boxes or treat containers all decorated with ribbons and Hand-stamped tags and paper. The Misti is the perfect tool and I use it all the time!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention! I LOVE giving lip glosses to people! My favorite lip gloss company is called Basin, and everyone I know who tries it loves it too! I love creating fun gift cards and tags that have the pop out hole that is the perfect size of a regular lip gloss tube. I need a die cut though to make my life easier, and one for EOS balls too! Thanks for giving us some great inspiration today!
ReplyDeleteOh so wonderfully sweet - such a fabulous treat package. I am still giggling over that sentiment :). I love to make personalized recipe cards and calendars as gifts.
ReplyDeleteLove the treat holder!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
I definitely love giving wrapped Hershey's nuggets--they are so fun to wrap in coordinating papers.
ReplyDeleteFabulous creation! I love to give all type of papercrafted items. Little treat containers (like the nugget tag), card sets & calendars. And the misti really helps make stamping so much easier!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ink blending!
ReplyDeleteI love gifting candy and lip balms and absolutely love MFT selection of pouches, this is a great project to create with young kids. Thanks for the inspiration and for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I was hoping for the new gadget from MSP sneak peak!
ReplyDeleteI like to make a match book and staple or tuck a goodie inside.
ReplyDeleteI like to make little gift bags with chocolate treats in them.
ReplyDeleteOooh that's so colorful and awesome!! Love this sweet MFT product!! :)
ReplyDeleteA handmade card.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun project! I love the colors you used!
ReplyDeleteVery colorful! I love receiving handmade card sets.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your treat. I purchased this awesome die set and made several nuggets using all of the MFT valentine paper I have. I love how you created your beautiful valentine paper....such creativity THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteThose treat tags are really great, I can't wait to try it! Recently, I have been having a lot of fun with Post-It Note holders, I've made a bunch of them for my grandkids for Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute gift! Love the idea of using Avery removable paper. This question is difficult to answer. Guess my fav would be a small house or treat box filled w/ sweet candies. Thx for sharing your creativity & the tips!
ReplyDeleteSuch a colorful and yummy treat! MFT and MISTI - a match made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI love to make little treat boxes, and used to make enough for my daughter's class for each holiday, when she was young enough to have class parties. The volume of boxes I make these days has unfortunately decreased dramatically, but I still love to make them.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of blending colors on label paper and then sticking it to card stock!! How original!! I love the sentiment too!! How hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much just make greeting cards and that's my favorite papercraft gift! I love giving them to my grown children because they think the cards are awesome, and some of my grandchildren are getting old enough to appreciate them also!
ReplyDeleteLove everything about your project - from the amazing colours, to the cute and funny sentiment (made me laugh out loud!). And who doesn't love some chocolates? :-) I love to create personalised cards for people - having something that is really very personal between myself and the recipient on a card is always a hit! And if someone really really deserves it, I make them mixed media albums for special occasions - these have always been truly appreciated! Decorated shadow box-like frames are a nice gift idea, too! And, of course, explosion boxes :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the different treat box dies that have come out. I like just being able to create them for my daughter's teachers and friends.
ReplyDeleteCute and colorful way to give candy.
ReplyDeleteI like to make cute packaging for gift cards or small gifts like jewelry.
So delicious, Lydia ... bright, bold and scrumptious! My favourite papercrafted giftable is lavender sachets, all done up in lovely packaging to match that glorious aroma! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sample!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift is a decorated candle. Only problem is that they're too expensive to mail, so can only give them in person. Beautiful color combo for your tag!
ReplyDeleteI have to say Birthday Cards. Especially the ones I give to family and friends. My daughter saves every single one of them. Coworkers are so amazed when they receive one, and are curious on how they are created. If only work would allow a card making class once a month. It would definitely get rid of some stress in the work place. I love to see the smiles on the recipients face. They love them.
ReplyDeleteI love giveaway gift card holders because my kids are adults now so Christmas isn't as much fun because they want cash so I get GC and put them in cute holders to give them it's not as fun as opinion a wrapped gift but it's fun for me
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of nugget windows.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I like to make goodies for the ladies in my Bible study. You are giving me ideas... Thanks
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag and amazing colors! I loved you used the heart pattern all over the tag. Thanks for the inspiration from MFT and MISTI design teams.
ReplyDeleteAnything with chocolate! I love creating little 3D gifts for the table when I have my friends over to craft and love to hand out little handmade gifts (with chocolate!) as RAK
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun release and these nugget holders are fabulous. I love to give chocolate treats too. Nuggets or M&Ms are the best.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy giving packs of handmade cards as gifts. :) I also give an occasional bookmark as a gift when I send a card.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite paper crafted giftable is definitely the nuggets, but the lip balms are a VERY close 2nd! So glad to see MSP & MFT teaming up together, two of my absolute FAV’s in the whole industry. Iliana has rocked my world with her Misti’sand all the supporting product enhancements.
ReplyDeletelove all the bright colors on your tag!!! Very bright and cheery! My favorite papercrafted giftable to give is shadow boxes :)
ReplyDeleteThis bright and happy nugget tag is fab. Mini albums are my fave giftable as they're a lovely keepsake. Thanks for this wonderful collaboration.
ReplyDeleteI just love my Misti and couldn’t create without it! I mainly love to make cards for the people that I love! Thanks so much for the chance to win such a generous giveaway! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this pretty treat tag! Beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite treat to give would be my homemade cookies in some pretty stamped wrappings!
This is so fun and bright! I love creating invitations for others parties, it feels so special and personal!
ReplyDeleteI am a teacher and giving an interactive card to my 8 year old students is a fovorite of mine. Everyone crowds around to see the new card and the little child receiving the card feels special receiving something made just for them.
ReplyDeleteAnd my sentiment should include -let's drink red wine. Love these little tag sets. Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to find where to post a comment on some of these sites...Found you.....:) Love the nugget holders...never seen them before...really cool...thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite paper crafting gift is the MFT lip balm die and shaker. It looks so professionally packaged when it goes together.
ReplyDeleteYour treats are adorable and I love that you give them out at drive thrus. I give out little treats or gifts to my co-workers. They have received most recently lip balm taks using the lipbalm window and frame and pouches from MFT. Next I am going to be making nugget trios
ReplyDeleteI am a card maker so I give a lot of handmade cards. I give to nursing homes and dog rescues as well as any other charities who could use some cheer. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so right now my favorite thing is to make gift card envelopes and candy bar wraps. But, I am about to get the lip balm die from MFT.. And now I really want this one to give chocolate (but unfortunately I would probably eat the chocolate)
ReplyDeleteGreat project! I don’t know if I have a favorite giftable. I love making cards with a gift card holder.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...
This Christmas, I made paper ornaments for my family members, so they are my current fave!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done any cool candy gifts like the nuggets, but I do enjoy giving handmade card sets as gifts, cards the recipient can give to others.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun!! (I'm not sure about the "peeing" part, but I'm all in on the chocolate!! ;) I do love to create packaging for treats and also creations that make gift cards seem more special. Thanks for the chance to win such an amazing prize!
ReplyDeleteLove your colorful treat tag! I enjoy making treat bags and boxes for my daughter’s students. These treat tags would be a great gift for them, too!
ReplyDeleteI have a die from PTI that is shaped like a mini-purse that I've used for several baby/bridal shower favors. It's so fun to customize the favor for each event.
ReplyDeleteI love giving card sets or mini album!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this help very very Thanks. if you want lip balm boxes for her business you can visit this link and get the packaging for new business.
ReplyDeleteGreat post I like it very much keep up the good work.
