Peekaboo Treat Bags for the Fourth
I love treat bags! So, my project showcases one of Stampin’ Up!’s Peekaboo Treat Bags. These bags come in packages of 10 for $6. Find them on page 140 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. You receive five white and five Kraft bags. The little see-through window makes it super fun to add themed treats. I filled mine with red, white, and blue taffy.
I had to be a little creative when putting these bags together. Here’s a list of what I used:
Black and White Designs 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (available in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Begin ordering from it July 1). I used the Blending Brushes to apply Night of Navy and Real Red ink to the DSP pieces.
Stars punched with the Starlit Punch (Annual Catalog) from the Real Red & White 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper (July-December 2022 Mini Catalog).
Sentiment from Peaceful Deer (Annual Catalog)
Double Oval Punch (Annual Catalog)
Real Red 3/8″ Ruffled Real Red Ribbon
These bags are super fun and super versatile. There are lots of ways to decorate. Fill them with everything from treats to gift cards.

Stampin’ Up! Products Used to Create This Project

Each new Stampin’ Up! catalog presents opportunities to play with new stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, embellishments, and more. The Uniquely Artistic stamp set is one of those new products. Find it on page 114 of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. I received it with my recent registration for a Stampin’ Up! virtual event. It’s one of my favorite things about being a demonstrator: receiving sneak peeks of new products.
When I received the set, I wasn’t quite sure where to start with a card design. So, I turned to the Annual Catalog and used the the samples within for inspiration.
I CASEd the above card from the catalog sample on page 115. It features the colors of Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaron. I embossed the background piece with the Gingham Embossing folder.
Uniquely Artistic Card Samples
The two cards below use heat embossing as the main technique.
The card above uses a sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set punched with the Double Oval Punch. I grabbed the gorgeous piece of Designer Series Paper from the Abstract Beauty 6 x 6 package. (If you love this Designer Series Paper, order it now. It’s going to retire!)
This beautiful card uses products from the Love & Happiness Bundle from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Hint: This, too, is retiring, so grab it before it’s gone.
See this blog post for more card samples using this brand-new set

Excitement builds in anticipation of the the release of Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

The card featured above uses the 2022-2024 In Colors and the new Uniquely Artistic stamp set available May 3, 2022, when the catalog goes live. I created the pattern using Stampin’ Up!’s Stamparatus, a unique stamp positioning tool. Be sure to watch the video below showing how this card comes together.
I love how all of these colors work together to create an upbeat color palette.

Each time I offer an in-person class or event, I love to gift the participants with a treat package.

Note: These boxes are being discontinued and are available while supplies last. Get them now for $4.80. Shop my online store to see all of the other items included on the Last-Chance Sales.

I’ll send you a free kit to create this treat project at home. You’ll need a little adhesive, a Black Marker and a Chalk Marker and some shredded paper. Colors of ribbon, card stock, and shimmer paper may vary. Offer ends April 10, 2022.
