It’s Day 2 of my Treat/Gift Packaging series and today we’ll pull out the Envelope Punch Board to create a cute pouch for some delicious chocolate! The pouch will easily hold nine Dove Chocolates and so that it will be a little bit sturdier, I recommend adding a piece of cardstock on the inside.
I can’t tell you how excited I am that this paper, Painted Autumn, is included in the sale that starts on Sunday. Buy 3 packs and Get 1 Free. There are 13 different packages to choose from and you can mix and match!
Dove Chocolate Envelope/Pouch Details
- Start with a piece of paper that measures 6″ x 6″. Place it on the Envelope Punch Board and score and punch at 3″ on all sides. It is so quick and easy to make!!
- Cut a piece of Tangerine Tango for the inside that measures 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″. This is for stability and optional. Use Fast Fuse to adhere it to the inside of the pouch.
- Use glue dots to assemble the pouch and wrap it up with Jute Twine. I think our 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon would also look very nice. When I made this several weeks ago, the Burlap Ribbon was on backorder so I didn’t want to use it if you couldn’t purchase it, but it’s now back in stock (I’ll also include it in the list of supplies).
- The sentiment is from the stamp set, Seasonal Chums and stamped using Memento Ink. I punched it out with the 1″ Circle Punch and layered it with the 1-1/4″ (Soft Sky) & 1-1/2″ (Cajun Craze) Circle Punches. The accents are the new Black Rhinestone Jewels.
A quick and easy way to package a little gift of candy to someone special!
If you’re interested in purchasing the stamp set, Seasonal Chums, I want you to be aware that it can be purchased separately or as part of a bundle with the Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies in either wood or clear mount. For more information on the bundle, click here. It’s an adorable bundle and I used it to make my project for tomorrow!
Thanks so much for stopping by! If you have any questions about today’s project, don’t hesitate to contact me!

It’s Tuesday so it’s time for another installment of Tool Time and this week we’ll be talking about the blender pen! 
Blender pens are dual-tipped, filled with a specialized solution to blend ink easily and come in a pack of three. It’s best to use them with Watercolor Paper or Shimmery White Cardstock. Regular Whisper White paper will pill.
I like using the blender pens with our Watercolor Pencils. After coloring an image with the pencils, going over it with a blender pen evens out the color. It really does make a difference! The tip cleans off easily with several strokes on scrap paper (I do it on my grid paper). Keep doing this until the ink is no longer coming off onto the grid paper.
You’ll find that sometimes you don’t want to use everything included on a stamp. For instance, on the stamp below, it says, “You make me smile.” If I’m using this as a sentiment on the front of my card, I prefer that the period not be there.
After stamping the sentiment in Memento Ink, just take your blender pen and “erase” the period away (see the after below). All the ink is transferred to the blender pen and no longer on your stamp! Sometimes it’s necessary to huff on the ink before stamping to reactivate the ink in case it started to dry out while you were “erasing.”
Once you add a blender pen to your stash of crafting supplies, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

My Story
I joined Stampin’ Up! in 2009. I had placed several orders, loved everything I received and wanted more, so I joined purely for the discount. I was teaching elementary school at the time and because I loved the cards and projects I was making, I started a club with two other teachers and a parent of one of my former students. Other teachers heard about the fun we were having and our group kept growing and growing. I wanted to share what I was creating and that was how this “I’m just joining for the discount” person, began to branch out. But that’s the wonderful thing about joining Stampin’ Up! You can purchase the Starter Kit and be your very best customer, just as I did for several years, or you can share the love of stamping and paper crafting with your friends and family.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me! I had tons of questions before I joined. I’m happy answer any questions you might have. I’d love to have you join my team! I’ll be here to support you in any way I can!
