Hello there and welcome back for the Stamp It Group’s blog hop ~ Thanksgiving!
Today I’m sharing my non traditional Thanksgiving card and blessing mix. The blessing mix is something that I make each year to give to family, friends, and neighbors. This year I made a little box that is very quick and easy. This little box is perfect for any occasion even classroom gifts if you have elementary aged kids.
POEM
Blessing Mix
The Bugles are a symbol of the Cornucopia,
a horn of plenty.
The Pretzels represent arms folded in
Thanks & Prayer.
The Candy Corn reminds us that during the
first winter, the pilgrims were allowed only
five kernels of corn per day because the
food was scarce.
The Fruit is a reminder that Thanksgiving is
the celebration of the harvest.
The Peanuts represent seeds, the potential of
the bounteous harvest of the next season if
they are planted & well-tended.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut Rich Razzleberry cardstock measuring 5” x 8-1/2”.
- Cut Petals & Paisleys Specialty DSP measuring 2” x 9”
- Score the cardstock and DSP the same at 1-1/2”, 4″, 5-1/2″ and 8″. The cardstock will be turned 90 degrees and then scored at 1-1/2” (see template below).
- Fold on all the score lines. Cardstock piece will be cut up to score lines (see template below).
- Add Tear & Tape to the two large tabs on the bottom of the box.
Template: treat-box

Very creative and love the little box. Just goes to show that you don’t necessarily need to be traditional for the holidays. A great “out of the box” idea!
