If you are looking for a way to share some special favors with your guest this holiday, or for a wedding or other event, then this post is for you!
I got this idea from Cheryl, at Stampin Squad. This little treat package is so easy to make you can make it within 6 minutes! More time may be needed, depending on the details of your embellishments. Stampin' Up offers several treat packaging sets that you can purchase. I'll add images of those below. This particular treat packaging
is one that is totally "homemade." Here's another look at what I had shown in this week's Tickled Tuesday Video.
Here's what you will need:
- One sheet of 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (DSP)
- Hope and Peace Cling Stamp Set
- Stazon Ink Pad
- 9-1/2 " Real Red Ribbon
- Red and White 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper
- Bone Folder
- Paper Snips
- Hole Punch
- Multipurpose Liquid Glue
- Tear and Tape
- Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
- Paper Trimmer
First, you will need to take your Paper Trimmer and your DSP. If your DSP is directional, you will need to place the top of your paper at the top of your trimmer. If your DSP is not directional, it's not going to matter which side you begin with.
Score the DSP at 1-1/2", 2- 3/4", 4-1/4", and 5-1/2". Turn the paper a quarter to the right and score again at 1-1/4". Take your bone folder and crease your score lines for easy folding.
Cut out the small rectangle that you will find within the score lines. You won't be needing that. Then make a slit along each score line leading to the 1-1/4" side score that you did.
Place Tear and Tape on the narrow side of the paper. (The side where you cut the rectangle out) Then fold that over so it's shown on top. Take the other end and fold it over so that it measures up perfectly on the end holding the tape. Press firmly.
As you work with the package you want to keep the Tear and Tape side in the back. Fold in the side flaps at the bottom. Put a dab of multipurpose liquid glue on the center of each flap and fold them over. For the last flap, place glue on all sides and in the middle. Be sure to use just a little. You don't want your bottom to get "soggy" enough that you have to wait long for it to dry. Turn your package over and use your Bone Folder or Take Your Pick tool to tap the bottom flaps together.
Pinch the top ends of your package together by pushing the upper sides in and pressing the front and back sides together. It should look like a tall milk carton. Take your hole punch and punch a hole in the middle, not quite a 1/2 inch down.
Fill your package with your treats. (I had (3) Lindorf chocolates).
Fold your ribbon in half and take the folded end, smush it together and insert it into the punched holes. Pull the ribbon through far enough that you can take the tails of the ribbon and put them through the folded end. Pull the tails up carefully so as to not tear the DSP, but you do want it secure. Cut off any excess ribbon.
I stamped the White Glimmer Paper with the stamp I chose from the Hope and Peace Stamp Set. I then used my Layering Circle dies to make a scalloped circle out of the Red Glimmer Paper and the smallest circle did cut out my stamped words. Using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, I adhered the pieces together and onto my package.
Add whatever embellishment(s) you want and wa-la! You have a homemade party favor that will please everyone you share it with.
