Make a Sweet Gingerbread House Treat Holder

The Sweet Gingerbread House treat holder project I’m sharing with you today is the cutest! The box measures 1-1/2″ square and 1-3/4″ tall. It’s an excellent size for gifting small candies. The floating “Have a sweet Christmas” greeting is my favorite thing about the Sweet Gingerbread House.

To make the box for the Sweet Gingerbread House you will need a piece of card stock that measures 6-1/2″ x 2-3/4″. Score the 6-1/2″ side at 1-1/2″, 3″, 4-1/2″ & 6″. Score the 2-3/4″ side at 1″. Trim box tabs per this diagram, add your favorite strong adhesive, and assemble the box.

Once the box is complete it’s time to decorate the Sweet Gingerbread treat holder! I used Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, and Coastal Cabana inks to stamp the doors, windows, and gumdrops. I also heat embossed the cute filigree image onto the front of my house using white embossing powder.

Make a Halloween Monster Party Favor

I had so much fun making the candy corn treat box last week that I decided to make another one. Today’s Halloween Monster Party Favor follows the exact instructions, but is a different scary one! I guess we can call him Frank.

The Monster Party Favor is a good-sized box measuring 1-1/2″ deep, 3″ tall, and 2-1/2″ wide. It’s a great size to fill with spooky treats or even a gift card.

Make a Wonderful World Gift Bag using Designer Series Paper

I recently attended a virtual Stampin’ Up! event where we learned how to make a beautiful gift bag. The bag is perfectly sized for a collection of A2-sized handmade cards and envelopes for gifting. I love the idea of offering a set of handmade cards wrapped in a beautiful bag! I made a copycat bag during my Make-it-Monday Facebook Live using the Wonderful World Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

The bundle includes the stamp set and beautiful 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. When you spend $100 or more you get these exclusive Sale-A-Bration items for FREE! Here is the bag with the coordinating tag I created.

Make a Simply Fabulous 4th of July Treat Holder

We’re celebrating the Fourth of July here in the United States this weekend. It’s a big party and I wanted to share some cute party favors at our celebration. I found this simple little treat holder while browsing the internet for ideas.

Aren’t they the cutest? Another bonus is that they are easy peasy to make and don’t require any special tools! I used the Layering Circles Dies from Stampin’ Up! to embellish but you can use whatever your stash holds to decorate them. I’ve given a few alternative ideas in my video tutorial from today’s Coffe & a Card Facebook Live. You can watch the replay below.

The treat holder uses a 6″ x 4″ piece of Designer Series Paper that is scored at 7/8″ on the 6″ side. This score line will be at the bottom of the treat holder so pay attention to the pattern direction on your paper. Next, score at 1/2″ and 2-1/4″ the full length of the 4″ side. Finally score at 1-3/8″ and 3-1/8″ on the 6″ side just to the 7/8″ horizontal score line.

Make a Best Butterflies Fun-Fold Card

The Best Butterflies Fun-Fold card I’m sharing today looks intricate but is easy to assemble and requires no special tools to create.

The fun-fold card is three-dimensional and stands on its own so the recipient can display it. The colors from the Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper are bright and cheerful and the Butterfly Dies are such a whimsical touch!

The card has several layers but will still fold to fit into a standard A2 envelope. Because of the thickness however, this card will probably require extra postage.

Cutting & Scoring Guide

Card Base = 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″, 7″, 9″ and 10-1/2″ on the 11″ side.
Front Panel = 5-1/2″ x 3″ scored at 3-1/2″ and 5″ on the 5-1/2″ side
Designer Series Paper = 4″ x 5-1/4″, 4″ x 1-3/4″, 2-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ and 2-3/4″ x 1-1/4″

Make an Easter Bunny Treat Holder with Paper!

I’m back from a glorious birthday vacation at the beach and am now laser-focused on Easter! I’ve already purchased pretty paper tableware (because that’s how we roll), filled Easter baskets for the littles, and have planned the menu. I always like to have a sweet takeaway for my adult guests and today’s project will fit the bill.

I found the cutest Easter Bunny Treat Holder online and knew I had to give it a go. My design is patterned after the project by Birgit Seidler, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator from Germany. Birgit was gracious enough to include the Imperial measurements making it easy for me to copy. You can check out Birgit Seidler’s original design here: https://bit.ly/3rorBP9

Here is my interpretation of the Easter Bunny Treat Holder. I used one of my favorite retiring Designer Series Papers; the Hand Penned paper from Stampin’ Up! The “Easter Blessings” sentiment on the tag is from a now-retired stamp set called Itty Bitty Greetings.

The paper folding and trimming required to get those fun bunny ears is not difficult. It would however be hard to explain here so I suggest you watch the video below for the instructions.

Cutting & Scoring Guide

Score a 12″ x 9-1/2″ piece of Designer Series Paper at 2-1/2″, 3-1/2″, 4-1/2″, 7″, 8″ and 9″ on the 9-1/2″ each side. Score at 1-3/4″ and 6″ on the 12″ side.

If it helps, here are two diagrams showing the scoring and cutting lines for this project. Diagram #1 is the entire 9″ x 12″ piece of Designer Series Paper. Diagram #2 shows where to cut the ear toppers. The black dotted lines are score lines. The red lines are cutting lines. Once you watch the video these diagrams will make fore sense.

Make a Springtime Party Favor

Here is a sweet little treat holder that I made up to share with my card class attendees this week. The party favor is so fun and easy to make and will work for any occasion or season depending on your choice of paper and embellishments.

The Hand Penned Designer Series Paper inspired my color choices for the party favor.. To make the base I used a 2″ x 7-3/4″ piece of Highland Heather card stock that I scored at 1″, 3″ and 3-1/2″. I then punched both ends of the card stock using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

The designer series paper on the front panel of the party favor measures 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″. The designer series paper for the inside panel of the party favor measures 1-7/8″ x 3″. To give it a more finished look, I rounded the corners on one end of this strip using the Detailed Trio Punch.

I secured the candy inside the treat holder using Stampin’ Seal then wrapped a length of Magenta Madness 1/4″ Ribbon around the outside of the party favor and tied it in a bow. Finally, I embellished the party favor with a butterfly die-cut and a sentiment tag. Watch the video replay below to see just how easy this Springtime Party Favor is to make!

St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Hat Treat Holder

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I wanted to share this darling Leprechaun Hat Treat Holder with you today. I embellished the hat with the sweet clover made by adhering three heart die-cuts together. For these I used the medium and small heart dies from the Give it a Whirl Dies.

The Soft Succulent gingham print from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper pack was a sure bet for the hat. I shared how to assemble this cute hat Monday during my Make-it-Monday Facebook Live. You can watch the replay here:

Easter Decorations with Target Dollar Spot Supplies

Are you a Target Dollar Spot fan? It’s my first stop upon entering the front doors of the store! I spied a $3 package of wooden Easter decorations this week and had to have them. Once they sat around in my kitchen for a few days I knew I could give these cuties a glow up! I failed to get a “before” photo but if you watch the video tutorial below you will see what I had to start with.

Here’s the after photo:

I’m so happy with the finished project and can’t wait to find a special place in my home to display them. The colors in the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! were the right choice. I love how the prints all coordinate and the Petal Pink Cotton Ribbon unified the bunny, the little house, and the carrots in the event I display them all together.

Make a 3-Dimensional Flowering Tulips Mother’s Day Card

Are you ready for Spring? I sure am! One of the first signs of spring is the tulips and daffodils poking their heads out of the ground. My card today has two gorgeous 3-dimensional tulips popping up on it. I used the Flowering Tulips Bundle from Stampin’ Up! The bundle includes the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set and the Tulips Dies. Use the stamp set and dies together to create detailed tulips or use the dies on their own for a minimalist tulip design.

The Tulips Dies are a must-have for any floral enthusiast. Not only can you create layered tulip fields, but you can also create three types of layered tulip blossoms, perfect for creating a tulip bouquet! Simply die cut the coordinating dies with contrasting cardstock colors, and then fold the pieces together to make beautiful tulip blossoms. These dies are sized perfectly for the front of a card.

Make a Peaceful Deer Standing Pop-Up Card

My new favorite fancy fold card is the Standing Pop-Up Card. I saw this type of card floating around the internet and knew I wanted to give it a try.

I used the Peaceful Deer Bundle along with the So Many Snowflake Dies to embellish the card base. Clear Wink of Stella on the snowflake die-cut to gives it a little sparkle along with the three Shaded Spruce rhinestones.

The sentiment panel on the back of the card it makes a pretty Christmas decoration to set anywhere.

Make a Candy Corn Shaped Treat Box for Halloween!

If you need a sweet treat holder for Halloween I’ve got you covered with today’s project! These triangular shaped boxes are fun to make and depending how you want to embellish them, they don’t require any special tools.

I used a die from the Basic Borders Dies from Stampin’ Up! to achieve those cute stitched edges but you don’t need them to create a candy corn shaped treat box. I explain how to get the look without using dies in this video tutorial:

You will need to make several score lines on an 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock to create the box. In addition to the tips I shared on the video, here is a diagram that you may find helpful.

You will find that the triangular shaped box works for most occasions. Here are a few alternatives that I created for Halloween and Christmas:

Make a 4th of July Flag Treat Box

America is having a HUGE birthday party this weekend and I decided to create some themed party favors for it! These little treat boxes are so fun and easy to make. I’m filling mine with little poppers, champagne streamers and sparklers for the little one’s we’ll have here for the celebration! I’m also excited to have several of these to set around my buffet as holiday decor!

One thing I learned while making this project is that each part of the US Flag has a name. The blue square with white stars in the upper left-hand corner of the flag is called the canton or the union. Although not intentional, all the dies I used for the box had stitching on them. A happy accident that I love!

I grabbed a red and white paper straw that was stashed away and adhered a layered, stamped and embellished tag to it. There’s a secret tip I shared on the video tutorial that shows how I kept the sentiment banner upright in the box.
