Welcome to Team Stamp It’s October Blog Hop! We’re so glad you joined us! This month, we feature cards and projects with a Thanksgiving theme. Be sure to visit each blog. Leave a comment and you could win a Christmas Everywhere Kit .
My post today features Stampin’ Up!’s Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. Find these as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives. What is an Online Exclusive? These are paper crafting products you can view online only. You won’t find them in any of Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs. Let me know if I can help you find and/or order these.
I love this die because it creates super cute treat packages, gift card holders, and table favors. Imagine making these and placing them on your table at Thanksgiving. Or, create and decorate and fill with tip money for servers during the holidays. There are lots of ways to use this fun die in coordination with other rubber stamps, patterned papers, and embellishments.

Do you like to make items in addition to greeting cards with your paper crafting products? I know I love to make small treat packets and gift packaging. They’re fun to give out at classes and special events and to celebrate birthdays, say thank you, and more. These are also perfect for bridal or baby shower partyfavors.
These dies make great frames for cards, and they pair with the Countryside stamp set. But they’re also large enough to make a treat holder.

And, this design is easy peasy. Here are a few details. Be sure to watch the video below (a Facebook live replay) to see step-by-step instructions for making these fun treat packets.
Use the largest die to cut the image from card stock (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″)
Score the die cut 2 1/4″ on each end
Choose the second largest die and cut some coordinating Designer Series Paper
Trim two inches off each end of the image.
Fold the card stock on the score lines
Glue the DSP to each side
Insert candy
Pinch the top of the packet together and punch a hole with a small hole punch
Add ribbon
Decorate as you wish
Enjoy these two additional samples. Which one is your favorite?
The above packets uses the Starry Sky design from the 2022-2023 In Color 6 x 6 Paper Pack with a sentiment from Country Bouquet and flower from Petal Park.
And this last sample uses the Bright & Beautiful 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper with a sentiment from the Circle Sayings Stamp Set.

I hope you’re enjoying Stampin’ Up!’s new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog! Sometimes, it takes awhile to discover all of the really fun and cool paper crafting products offered. The Mini Pocket Envelope dies present a lot of possibilities. Find this one in the back of the catalog on page 172.You can use any Designer Series Paper, almost any stamp set, and an array of embellishments with the die set to make handmade creations.
My first thoughts ran to treat packet holders. Then, I saw gift card holders — as a stand-alone project and as an attachment to a card. Use them for graduations, weddings, birthdays, and Christmas.
Today, I share a couple of versions of this with you. I know there are so many options!
The pocket can be used alone or on the front of a card.
This die is perfect for a graduation gift card holder.
Let’s not forget Christmas gift card holders.
I hope you enjoy these projects. Be sure to watch the video (a Facebook Live replay from May 17, 2022) to see how i created these holders.

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.
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.

I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of these apple cider treat packets. I’ve given them out at a team meeting and at a host of events throughout the month of September. They were so easy to put together. This packet uses Stampin’ Up!’s Harvest Hellos stamp set and coordinating Apple Builder Punch. What’s cool about this set and punch is that it can be both an apple and a pumpkin. That makes it very versatile.
Here are the steps I used:
1. Garden Green card stock cut at 6 inches x 3 1/2 inches, scored at three, and folded. Stapled sides.
2. Adhered a piece of Designer Series Paper sized 3 1/4 by 2 3/4 to front of packet. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Garden Lane Designer Series Paper here.
3. Next, I adhered a circle from the Sttiched Shapes framelits die cut from Garden Green.
4. I stamped the apple in Garden Green ink onto Mint Macaron card stock and added the sentiment from Country Home. Punched it out using the Apple Builder Punch.
5. Added an Early Espresso stem and a Mint Macaron leaf from the punch.
6. Popped it all up with a dimensional.
I found the the cider packets at the local Fry’s grocery store here in Mesa.
Thanks for stopping by today. Please let me know if you have questions. See the list of ingredients below.
