These Sweet and Salty Peanut Butter cookies I posted yesterday deserve to be gifted, they are that good.

This treat box project is the perfect compliment to these sweet and savoury cookies. Semi-sweet chocolate is melted in a mixture of butter and vanilla flour and eggs and then topped with a salty, peanut butter cream cheese frosting. For the full recipe, visit the addjoy.ca website and while you’re there, be sure to enter their Add Joy $50 grocery card contest where they are giving away $40k in cards!

Starting from the bottom end, fold in the first flap underneath the next.

Step 5

Working each flap into the other until you form a box.

Step 6

Fold into a box shape.

Step 7

Fold flaps on top to secure until you glue into place.

Secure the bottom using a glue gun or tape.

Then top with your favourite bow or something like this coffee filter palm fan leaf I made (see instructions below).

Coffee Filter Palm Leaf (Bows)

You will need:

-Pour-over style coffee filters in different sizes. I used Size 2 for these smaller leaves, however for the demo I used larger ones for visuals.

-Glue gun or tape

– Scissors

Step 1

Place 2 of the same sized filters together. At a 45 degree angle, start to fold (accordian-style) working your way across from one end to the other.

Step 2

Separate the filters. Then place the same sized end of one filter, against the other and glue together using a glue gun. You could also tape, however keep in mind it might not look as finished as a glued one.

Step 3

Then gather the bottom end of the two glued pieces to create a fan-like form. Using an extra filter, cut a strip off one end. Then glue it to cover the end, wrapping it around like a stem. Secure at the end of the strip with more glue (or tape).

Step 4

Attach the bow to the top of the box using a bit glue.

Printable Gingham for Spring

Jan Halvarson — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 07:06:53 +0000

This week we’re hitting a bit of a milestone here at Poppytalk, marking our 17th year online.

What started out as a personal blog to catalogue favourite artists, design and things I love in 2005 has somehow taken on a life of it’s own 17 years later. So here we are, onto another trip around the sun and I’m so thankful for you readers who are still stopping by along the way.

To say thank you, I’ve made a brand new set of free printable gingham papers with spring in mind. There’s nothing more that says spring than gingham, don’t you think. I’ve create four colours that you can print out to make into gift wrap, bows, envelopes and more! Check out the directions and links below.

Thank you and happy spring!

How to make

The papers are combined into one printable PDF file. You can download them HERE.

Print off and make as you please. To make the envelopes, see previous post DIY Packet of Luck Envelope (link here).

Happy making!

Free Printable Father’s Day Gift Wrap

Jan Halvarson — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 03:36:00 +0000

Father’s Day is tomorrow and if you’re like me, you may have forgot gift wrap. Whenever that happens I get to work on the computer and make my own. I loved this combination of vintage whale illustrations I came across at the Biodiversity Library, and so I combined them into a fun gift wrap pattern. It also makes a nice print.

I’ve also matched it up with a little black gingham – just because it reminds me of one of Earl’s pocket squares and I liked how they went together. To download the papers, find the links after these images.
