May I please share one last Halloween idea using the Stampin’ Up! Candy Wrapper die? This “BOO” box trio and card are headed to my adorable nephew as a spooky surprise. Each contains a couple bite sized candy bars.
LET’S TWIST! The question I have been asked the most about the Stampin’ Up! Candy Wrapper Die is regarding assembly. Is it complicated? I have made several dozen of these boxes and can assure you that once you figure it out, they go quickly. The trick is in the “twist” and today’s Stampin’ Pretty 1 Minute to WOW! Video shows you how!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The Typeset Alphabet Dies cut through card stock and Stampin’ Up! Onboard Long Board (chipboard). Perfect layers and a 3-D effect.
- I cut the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper (wrapped around each box) to 6 1/4″ x 1 3/4″. Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, I scored the short distance at 1 3/8″, 2 3/4″, 4 1/8″ AND 5 5/8″ for a neat fit and a “seam” buried on an edge. The reason why the last score goes an 1/8″ longer than the others is so that it can “stretch” to the edge.
- The coordinating envelope for my 3 x 3 card was created using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and Simply Scored Diagonal Plate. Here’s my handy envelope chart with dimensions and details for many envelope sizes.

So glad you found the die, Liz. It’s not longer part of our current products. Wonderful success story!
I bought my ?Candy Wrapper? die several years ago, since I couldn?t figure out how to make the boxes I just put the die away and never used it. I came across your 1 Minute to Wow video and decided to find the die and try it again. Guess what, I?ve made more than half a dozen boxes and now I love this die. I?m glad I held on to this die. Thank you for generously sharing your videos.
