It’s Day 3 of my Treat Packaging series and I have a very quick and easy project for a lollipop!
When my husband and I moved to Florida from California for 7 years, I really, really missed See’s candy. I grew up with this candy store and it was always THE place to get candy. My dad, who really didn’t care for candy, loved their Rocky Road. It is so delicious. He didn’t really care for cake either (crazy, huh?) so one year we gave him a huge block of Rocky Road and stuck a candle in it. That was fun! Their lollipops are so good too and I’m especially partial to the Butterscotch flavor. If someone receives a See’s lollipop, they know they’re getting a special treat!
I have a video from a year ago that shows you how to make the lollipop holder. I’m using retired products but you’ll be able to see how to make one. In the video I turn down the paper up at the top. One of my samples is made this way and the other one is not.
If you are going to make it as I do in the video, your measurements will be 2″ x 8-1/2″ scored @ 1/2″, 4″ & 5″. If the top part is NOT turned over, your measurements will be 2″ x 8″ scored @ 3-1/2″ & 4-1/2″.
Below you’ll find the Product List for all the supplies I used.

It’s Day 2 of my Week of Treat Packaging! Today I’ve wrapped up some Ghirardelli chocolates in our Gusseted Cellophane Bags. I have 6 inside each bag but you could definitely add more! The bags can be found in the Annual catalog and are new this year. They are food safe so you can also use candy that isn’t wrapped up. If you’d like to give a non-food treat, a gift card would fit nicely inside as well.
I used a piece of Halloween Night DSP that measures 2-7/8″ x 8-3/4″ scored @ 1″ and 3″ The paper slips into the gusseted bag and the weight of the candy will make it stand up. I didn’t score the top part of the paper, but the extra gets folded over the top. I stapled the bag shut with our handheld stapler which comes with mini staples that are just 3/8″ long. Since the staple is holding the bag shut, it isn’t necessary to use the clip but I thought it was cute. Plus, once the recipient opens the bag, it can then be closed using the clip.
Aren’t the scarecrows adorable??? They are from the set Cookie Cutter Halloween and the bats on my project yesterday also came from this set. I had fun coloring them in with colored pencils. If you are considering purchasing this stamp set and the matching punch, please be aware that the punch is part of a bundle that includes the stamp set Cookie Cutter Christmas AND this punch also works with the stamp set I’ve used today, Cookie Cutter Halloween (I hope that isn’t too confusing).
Both of my sentiments come from the stamp set Spooky Fun. This stamp set can also be purchased as a bundle which includes the stamp set and the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies. All of items in our bundles CAN be purchased separately but I wanted you to be aware of the options!
All of the products I used for my projects today are listed in the product list below. By clicking any of the pictures, you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

Normally I’m not already thinking about holiday treats but with all of the cuteness in the Holiday Catalog, it’s hard not to! For the next seven days I’m going to share projects that will help with your October treat giving.
What chocolate lover wouldn’t love opening a box filled with a humongous sized package of M&M’s?? Yesterday I posted a Stampin’ Up! video that showed how to make your own custom box (if you missed it, you can see it HERE). After watching it and following the directions, I made a box that fit my candy perfectly! You can see it sitting in the bottom half of the box.
Here’s the finished box! I used lots of different products from the Holiday Catalog and I’ve listed them all below in the Product List. The bottom of my box was made using Basic Black cardstock and the top is from the Halloween Night Specialty DSP pack. I wrapped it up with two different pieces of twine but they come together in a set.
My tag was made using the Cheerful Tags Framelits Dies. There are two different types of tags in the set with 8 dies in all. My cute bats come from the very popular stamp set Cookie Cutter Halloween. I finished it off with the Halloween Night Enamel Dots and a piece of Washi tape at the bottom.
Here are the dimensions that I used for box. Bottom: 6-1/2″ x 10″ Score at 1″ along all the sides Top: 6″ x 9-1/2″ Score at 3/4″ along all of the sides. In the video Donna suggests cutting a smidge off two of the sides of the bottom of the box so be sure to refer back to it so that your top will fit nicely onto the bottom.

I love making boxes and packaging for treats so I was excited when this video from Stampin’ Up! was released. Donna, from the Home Office, takes us through figuring out to do the math to make a box of any size! She has such a wonderful teaching style that I am sure you’ll feel like you CAN make a custom box.
Because I love treat packaging, on Wednesday I am going to be kicking off my Week of Treat Packaging. Each day for seven days, I’ll show you a different way to package a treat. In the meantime, enjoy the video!
Don’t forget that I have an Ordering Special going on now! My offer is good until next week! Any questions, please ask! Click here for all the details!
