How would you feel if you received snack cake boxes that were handmade and held a surprise treat? Pretty special, right?! These DIY snack boxes hold all sorts of fun treats….I happen to LOVE snack cakes. Little Debbie and I? We are BEST friends! But they also hold bite-sized candies, colorful goldfish crackers, mints, or even a collection of bright-colored paperclips. The best part? This DIY box is surprisingly easy to make with a little bit of cardstock and a stamp set.
Want to know what else I’m excited about? New 2024-2026 In-Colors that we get to create these boxes with!
Let me introduce the 5 new In Colors….
- Peach Pie is a lovely peach color that looks amazing with Petal Pink or Pumpkin Pie
- Petunia Pop is just yummy! Pair it with Fresh Freesia or Berry Burst
- Pretty in Pink might look familiar because it is a returning Stampin’ Up! color. Create cards with Bubble Bath or Flirty Flamingo
- Shy Shamrock is the perfect green for Spring & Summer! I love it with Coastal Cabana or Shaded Spruce
- Summer Splash just might be my favorite of the new In Colors. I love mixing it with Pool Party or Pretty Peacock

Pinterest-ing Snack Cake Box!
Follow me on Pinterest and save this cute box tutorial to your favorite paper craft and handmade gift idea boards!
Creating boxes are one of my favorite things to paper craft. I don’t know what it is about manipulating a piece of cardstock into a box. It’s so satisfying!
I hope you will give this sweet gift a try! It’s just too cute not to!
Really gorgeous, Connie. Wish I had the courage to measure and cut as you do..
I’m just too clumsy!
Best wishes,

Hi Connie,
New to cardmaking and never watched You Tube until 2 months ago. What a new experience and love you and your videos. Can’t print right now so is it possible to buy some of your instructions sheets and also a catalog? Snack cake boxes for sure. Not very good at navigating You Tube so how do I find your reply? Thanks for being so informative and funny
What I have suggested is to take your phone or tablet to a printer (Kinko’s, Staples, etc) and ask them to print off the downloads. Just pull up http://www.SimplySimpleStamping.com and click on the downloads you want printed. They will be able to get those done for you in a jiffy.
I love your downloads. The pictures, supply list, measurements, ordering area & scan to watch the video are all right there. It is neat, clean & easy to use. Thank you so much.
Love this box. I like that there is not a seperate lid. I am currently making these for Thanksgiving and will make more for Christmas. This is a keeper. Thank you for posting such a great tutorial.
I made one of the treat boxes today. I used stamps from the one of the Paper Pumpkin kits and am going to give it to a granddaughter along with some other treats when we see her tomorrow. I love the box!
I enjoyed making the Snack Cake Boxes for all our grandchildren and great-granddaughter. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for your free printable sheets. I have a folder of them, and they help me when I’m in a fix! I was watching your life for the first time from Western Australia and poof! Power failure! Thank goodness for replay! Thanks again Connie.
Thanks for free downloads! I’m always disappointed when someone wants to charge after watching a free video. Lol
