Last Minute Treat Ideas

Time is running out...do you still need a little gift idea?

Try this:

Made with the Gift Bag Punch Board, these come together in minutes!  They are the perfect size to give small gifts, home-baked goods or candy treats (this one holds Lindor Truffles).

Start with a piece of 6" x 12" Designer Series Paper (I used Merry Little Christmas).  Insert it into your Gift Bag Punch Board and follow the punch/score directions for a "large" bag.  Turn the paper to the opposite side (the other long side is now in the board) and punch on the same score lines, and add the horizontal score line.

Now cut off all the tabs except the largest center flap ON ONE SIDE.  Assemble the bag using Tear & Tape or Fast Fuse adhesive.  The flap that you left on the long side folds over the top.

Add a belly band--I used Merry Music Specialty DSP, cut at 1-1/4" x 12".

Stamp the sentiment from Labels to Love using Versamark ink on Real Red cardstock; sprinkle with White Embossing Powder, and heat set.  Punch out with the Everyday Label Punch and adhere with Dimensionals.  Done!

Pretty Packaging

I love to make my gifts pretty.  Here's an easy way to make a small treat special:

Every year, the supervisors with whom I work exchange Christmas ornaments.  This year, I bought Christmas tree-shaped ornaments that were fairly flat.  I thought it would be fun to wrap them in the Striped Treat Bags, which are so lovely.  The gold and white stripes are classy and classic, and I added a little extra shine to each package.

I started by stamping the label from Labels to Love (and this set is carrying over from the Holiday Catalog - yea!) using Versamark ink on Whisper White paper.  I then heat-embossed the image with Gold Embossing Powder and punched out my label with the Everyday Label Punch.  Then I layered it on a piece of Gold Foil, cut with the Lots of Labels dies.

I added a strip of Gold Sequins and clipped it to the top of my bags with a gold Library Clip.  How fun!

They came out so cute!

Try some Striped Treat Bags--you won't regret this purchase!  Everything you put inside turns to gold!

More Treat Packaging

Yes, I have another day of Treat packaging for you:

How about some Christmas Poppers?

These are so easy to make, using the Envelope Punch Board.  And it's a great way to use up some of the Designer Series Paper you've been hoarding!  😁

Susan Itell has a great tutorial on how to make these; if you have questions about them, please send me a note and I'll put together a video.

After punching and adhering your popper, fill them with treats of your choice (I used Hershey's kisses).  You can decorate them however you want.

I used Oh What Fun for the "jolly" and added some little holly leaves/berries from the Carols of Christmas set.  

These are such fun to create and make a great stocking stuffer!

Let me share another treat package I created (with the help of Tami White):

These Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are so cute!  Just adding some trees cut with the Card Front Builder Dies and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper make for an adorable treat.

Let's take a closer look:

Trees were added on all four sides after adhering a 1/2" strip of Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper.  I only used Tear & Tape Adhesive on the bottom of the trees, so it doesn't show through to the inside of the box.

See that little deer?  Also included in the Card Front Builder dies is a framelit for the deer--I used Copper Foil sheets to cut him out.  And I wrapped the whole box with some Linen Thread.

Just add Hershey's Kisses in Christmas colors and you have a seasonal treat to make anyone happy!
