🥃 Rum Chata Treat Box:
For our first project, we created a treat box designed to fit a mini bottle of Rum Chata because nothing warms you up like a cozy cocktail in a cute package! This makes a perfect little fall-themed gift for friends, party favors, or retreat roomies.
We used Pecan Pie Cardstock for the base of the box and layered it with the Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper. We finished it off with leaf and the ribbon from the kit and a little Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments to pull it all together.
Pro tip: You can easily adapt this box to hold chocolates, gift cards, or tea packets if Rum Chata isn’t your thing (but… Rum Chata.)
🍁 Coordinating Card
To pair with our gift box, we made a coordinating card using the same warm and elegant color palette.
The card base is also Pecan Pie, layered with Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper, which we embossed using the Gathering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder for texture and vintage flair. The Autumn Toil Designer Series Paper from the kit adds a warm, elegant touch. We topped it off with a circle die cut and sentiment from the kit.
This card is perfect for thank-yous, fall birthdays, or just sending a cozy hello.

What's Paper Pumpkin?
Paper Pumpkin is the perfect way to jump into the world of paper crafting and get your creative “me-time” every month. Each month, we deliver all the stamps, ink, and paper you need to create a fun project, without any stress. Everything is precut and ready to go so you can skip to the fun part of crafting! Our subscribers always have cards and cute gifts on hand for every occasion. Your first kit includes a free gift from us—a clear stamping block. You’ll also build a collection of stamps and ink to use on other projects. There’s no pressure—you can cancel or suspend at any time.
Every kit includes an exclusive stamp set, ink spot, and embellishments to create a predesigned project. At least six times a year, we send an all card kit with eight or more cards. Sometimes the kit includes cards plus gift bags, banners, treat bags, or boxes. Other times, it’s home décor, giftables, or just treat packaging. No matter what it is—we promise you’ll love it, or we’ll make it right!
