For today's project share, I have used our FUN Treat Box die and turned it into a Santa belly!
His beard was created using our Scallop Circle die and then I added some chunky glitter. I punched 3 circles and cut a strip from black cardstock to create the buttons and belt. The buckle was made using an old punch from my stash.
I added a fun nosegay using one of our chenille candy canes and a tag which I stamped using a sentiment from our Merry set and then embossed it with red glitter embossing powder!
Recreate this fun treat box using these products from Paper Sweeties:

Thanks for joining our party today! We've been celebrating our 4th anniversary all month long in August and today we have a special treat ... a DESIGNERS' BLOG HOP featuring amazing projects created by current and past Design Team Contributors and special Guest Designers! Without further ado, let's get this party started ...
I created a bright and cheery card with a party theme using our soon-to-be released Window and Window Elements Sweet Cuts sets! I did cut the banner using the Sweeties Wagon Sweet Cuts die set and then added glitter stickers to spell out p-a-r-t-y!
I created a fun little window scene using the *new* window dies along with the window treatment from Sweeties Stand, the table from I'm Having a Tea Party and the cake & present from Planner Series: Celebrate!
A little sparkle and bling was added using some Watermelon and Marshmallow Sequins!
Now, continue the hop to help spark your creativity:
