Candy Canes Treat Packet

Candy Canes Treat Packet

Love this super easy treat packet! Perfect for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, and treats for friends. I was inspired by a video by Katherine Themann back in August. So many fun ways to change these up with different patterned papers, rubber stamps, holidays and themes. Be sure to watch my video below showing visually how these go together.

I used Stampin’ Up!’s Candy Canes background stamp found in Stampin’ Up!’s July-December Mini Catalog. See this post for other card samples.

Candy Canes Treat Packet

  • Start with piece of Real Red card stock measuring 10 inches by 3 1/4 inches.
  • Score at 1 inch, 4 3/4 inches, and 6 1/4 inch. Fold.
  • Decorate the front and the back of the packet with either stamped card stock (like the Candy Canes) or Designer Series Paper. You need two pieces that measure 3 inches x 3 1/2 inches and one piece that measure 3 inches by 3/4 inches.
  • Add a sentiment and embellish.
  • Trim three inches from one of Stampin’ Up!’s 3 x 9 gusseted cellophone bags. Fill with candy of choice. (This is the best part! — and eating the extras!) Adhere the bag to the inside of the treat packet.
  • Close the treat package with self-adhesive Velcro.
  • Top off with complementary ribbon.

Enjoy a couple of other samples.
