Make Easy Treat Packets

Make Easy Treat Packets

I love to make and give treat packets! Especially those that include chocolate. Today, I’m showing you how to create an easy, peasy treat packet. Be sure to watch the video as I show samples and create one on camera.

Make Easy Treat Packets

  • Choose any Designer Series Paper or even card stock. So many choices makes this so much fun
  • Cut the card stock to 5 1/2-inches by just under 2 inches.
  • Score at 2 5/8 and 2 7/8
  • Punch each end with a tag topper punch. The current Stampin’ Up! punches include the Fancy Tag Topper Punch and the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.
  • Secure candy in the treat packet with tape.
  • Close the packet with your choice of ribbon.
  • Decorate the front with stamps and/or punches.
  • Give away!

Think about all of the ways you can use these:

Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards

Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards

When it comes to Christmas and the holidays, are you a traditionalist? Or do you prefer non-tradiational colors? I experimented with both using Stampin’ Up!’s Frosted Gingerbread Bundle. It comes with the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set and the coordinating Gingerbread Dies. Buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent.

The coordinating Gingerbread & Peppermint 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper makes this a versatile and fun combination of products. The colors include Real Red, Old Olive, Early Espresso, and Cinnamon Cider — what might be called your traditional colors.

I love this pack of 48 sheets, You can  use the dies to cut the images directly from the paper, as well as use it for accents and backgrounds.

Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards

I had much fun experimenting with this bundle and just had to make some 3 x 3 mini cards in a variety of designs. Here’s a sample of the traditional colors using pieces cut from the patterned paper.

Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards

Mini cards make great teacher gifts, hostess gifts, and stocking stuffers. Or, use them as your own gift tags. They are so easy to make. Cut your base card stock at 6 inches x 3 inches and score at 3 inches. Fold and decorate.

In addition, Stampin’ Up! offers mini envelopes as well as fun acetate boxes that can be decorated to coordinate with the cards. Be sure to view the product list below.

Gorgeous Leaves Thanksgiving Card–Alcohol Blends Technique

Gorgeous Leaves Thanksgiving Card

I love the background of this card. It features the rubbing alcohol and Stampin’ Blends technique. See the video below for a look at how this technique works.

Basically, choose the Stampin’ Blends colors you want to use. Scribble or color on a piece of Vellum Card Stock. For this card, I used Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake. Then, with a paint brush, drip 91 percent rubbing alcohol onto the colored parts. Watch as the ink spreads and merges to make a cool background. Once it’s dry, you can use the vellum for a variety of card-making purposes. You’ll get a different result each time you try this. Experiment and have fun with it!

In addition, this card uses:
