See those cute little nugget boxes. I made them for Christmas 2010. They hold 3 Hershey nuggets perfectly. I made 50 of those boxes and never used them! Yup! I threw almost all of them out! So here is what happened ... Just before Christmas 2010, I got the flu and I landed in the hospital for six days. Really from the flu! Well that is just what happened, it was horrible! Who knew the flu could take a person down like that! Well apparently hundreds of thousands of people knew and that is why they get their flu shot each year. Now I have joined them and get the shot every year as well. On a happier note I did give out some of them in early December prior to getting sick. I was afraid to save the rest for fear I had contaminated the boxes! Well now two years down the line I thought I would remake these little guys because I liked them so much. Here is a picture of what the file looks like:

I hope you give this box a try as you can change it up as needed. It also looks cute without the tree, adding a little embellishment in its place. I use Wilton gold candy foil to back the tree. You can even do away with or change the window shape to your liking. I use a corner rounder punch on the top corners for a bit more finished look and as you know I like to hand score. The MTC file has the score lines on a separate layer so you can shut them off. Let me know if you have any folding questions. Enjoy and have a great weekend.

Enjoy
These are so nice! I love the nuggets and have done them before in a slider box with and without a window. Love this version and love the ribbon-y tree. Thx so much Lysa! Gotta scan some more older posts on your blog, this past week has been busy and come next Tuesday I will be on the road again... work never ends but I cant complain. Lucky to be in the workforce right now. Thx again! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Luv,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you and so glad you like the nugget holder. I have made the slider box too and love that one as well. Hope you give this box a try when work allows for some crafty mojo. I hear you when you say how lucky we are to be working. I try my best not to complain too. Keep me posted on your crafts for the holidays and check back because I am trying to post some of my older files over the next few weeks. Thanks again for your support and please know it just takes one comment from someone(like you) to keep me going. You are a dear!

What a wonderful file. Thank you for sharing. I can't seem to find Nuggets here but so many other things cone to mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the file. Love it.
ReplyDeleteDear Lysa! Could you PLEASE tell me how you attach all the little animals/baby products to your diaper cake?? I have made five of them, everybody adores them, and I love making them but it takes forever to attach the items to the cake with thread. Do you have a quicker, easier way to do this? Please let me in on the secret, pleeeeeze?
ReplyDeleteHi Joan,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that I am just seeing your message now. Today is already the 6th. I use small clear rubber bands or clear (has to be clear, not invisible tape) I band or tape the item to a pop-cycle stick (I get them at the craft store, they are very cheap) and then stick it into the folds of the cake. The stick is helpful for adding height as well. I hope this helps. Here is my email if you have any further questions:

Happy New Year,
