Yesterday I shared these little treats and today I want to show you how easy they are to make! You’ll need a 4 x 4 sheet of Designer Series Paper and the Envelope Punch Board.
Step 1: Just as the first photo shows, line up the edge of your paper with the 2″ line.
Step 2: Score, beginning where I show in the photo. There’s a groove in the Envelope Punch Board, so you’ll just continue to score down. Be sure to punch.
Step 3: See the directions below.
Step 4: Score just as you did in step 2 and punch.
Step 5: Repeat the same process on the remaining sides.
That’s it!
Fold on the score lines and pop your treat inside. I used a glue dot to close it shut. Decorate and you’re done!
These would look cute at your holiday table with the initial of each person sitting at the table with you. I’m not home, otherwise I would make one to show you as a sample. If you make one, I’d love to see it!
Below you’ll find the products I used to make my treat holders. Unfortunately the paper with the peppermints has sold out so I haven’t listed it.
The stamp set I used for my sentiment is on the retirement list and on sale! (Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed available until December 21, after which they will be only available while supplies last.)
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Happy Monday! Quick post today as I’m heading out to do some Christmas shopping. I’m an online shopping type of girl but today I’m braving the crowds. Although I must say, I’m sure all of the Christmas decorations will put a smile on my face. Which do you prefer, shopping online or getting out to the mall?
These are some treats I sent out last week to customers who shopped with me! They were so easy to make with the Envelope Punch Board. Tomorrow I’ll post a tutorial in case you want to make some yourself!
Have a wonderful day!

I get very excited when a new catalog comes out and the Occasions catalog is no different!
If you don’t already have a demonstrator and would like a catalog, email me (tracy@stampingwithtracy.com) your address and I’d be happy to send one off to you! If you have ordered from me within the last six months, I’m having Stampin’ Up! mail your catalogs (Sale-a-bration too). They should be arriving soon! You can begin to order from this catalog on January 4th!
I wanted to let you know that several days ago I noticed that my blog posts were not showing up properly on my blog. The top post looks correct but the remaining posts only show the titles and not the graphics. If you click on each individual post, they will show up correctly. I’ve contacted someone who will be able to help me to rectify the problem but it will take several weeks.
Until then, I will continue to post and keep my fingers crossed that a new problem won’t crop up.

One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is that they help me figure out color coordination. Trying to decide which colors go together is not one of my strengths. Luckily Stampin’ Up! lists the colors that go with their designer series paper. On the paper stacks, you can find the list on the front.
On the 12″ x 12″ packages, you can find it on the back.
You can also find help in the catalog as they are listed there too! Cardstock packages are also available that match each pack of paper. 
If you haven’t purchased our paper packs before, I recommend choosing a few of the colors (or all of them) that coordinate. Whisper White or Very Vanilla are also a must (you’ll need it to stamp your sentiment)!

I’m almost a bit embarrased to include this as a tip but it works for me so I should share, right?
I really am a fan of photopolymer stamps. Why? Because I want stamping to be stress free and I love that I can see right through the stamp to my paper, ESPECIALLY when I’m stamping a sentiment.
When I use clear or wood stamps, I always use Stampin’ Mist with my Stampin’ Scrub to get them nice and clean. But when I use photopolymer, the Stampin’ Scrub seems to add more ink to the stamps and I prefer to use a baby wipe.
While I’m busy creating on my craft table, I’m always looking for somewhere to set the used wipe down because I can continue to use it during a craft session multiple times. I was rummaging through one of my drawers and found the container below. I smacked myself on the forehead and thought, of course, why didn’t I think to just put it into some sort of bowl??? So simple.
While I’m at it, I’ll share the container that I got on Amazon for the wipes. It is GREAT! If you don’t open it for weeks, the wipes do not dry out. The weighted plate makes it easy to grab one wipe at a time. I have another one that I use when I change my grandson’s diapers. If you’d like more information about this wonderful wipes dispenser, I’ll put a link at the end of the post.
As I mentioned, Stampin’ Mist and Stampin’ Scrub are both great for cleaning your clear and wood mount stamps!
