Happy Monday! Today I’m sharing treat holders I made using Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paperthat measured 6-3/8″ x 1-5/8″ and scored it at 3/4″. I folded on the score line and then placed my Ghirardelli Chocolate down at that end and stapled the treat to the paper. This creates the flap where the other end will slip under. I used a very small stapler (one that Stampin’ Up! retired years ago) but any size will work. I used the Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Duet Hearts.
After taking the other end and slipping it under the flap as far as it would go, I creased the top of the holder with my finger. I did this so the flap would stay put. I tried scoring it first but creasing it with your finger after the candy is stapled in, makes for a tighter fit.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Oval Occasions.
I cut the sentiment out using the Ornate Frames Dies. This treat holder is very small so I needed a small sentiment and the die I used from this set fit perfectly!
To complete the treat holder, I added a tiny heart using our Resin Hearts Embellishments. The beauty of the white ones is that you can color them with your Stampin’ Blends to match your paper (I used the Dark Highland Heather Blend and the Dark Rococo Rose Blend) and did several coats of each.
The Resin Hearts Embellishments are currently on the Low Inventory List which means they are in danger of going on backorder at any minute. If you’ve been thinking about getting them, my recommendation is to order them as soon as you can.
These are super easy to make and will brighten anyone’s day! If you make them, drop me a line and show me your creations!

The August-December 2020 Mini Catalog is filled with so many brand new products! One of the first products to catch my eye was the Little Treat Box Dies. It makes a treat box that’s SO easy to make and no adhesive is needed!
The largest die in the set is what you’ll use to make the treat box and the die will fit onto a piece of 6″x 6″ piece of paper (see the photo below for placement). The die set also includes several tags and embellishments. It pairs beautifully with the Little Treats stamp set (I didn’t use this stamp set on today’s project) and is available as a bundle (I have a picture of the bundle farther down in the post).
As I mentioned, the box is so easy to make and no adhesive is necessary. When you run the die through your die-cutting machine, it creates score lines as well as two slits and tabs which makes it a breeze to put together. If you need to make a lot of treat holders, you’ll be able to do it easily with the Little Treat Box Dies!
To give you an idea as to the size of the treat box, I have two Hershey’s Nuggets inside. I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with lots of other ideas to tuck inside.
The sentiment, from the stamp set, Banner Year, was stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Versamark ink and then was embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. It was cut out using one of the tag dies in the Little Treat Box Dies.
There are so many possibilities with this set of dies!

It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop and this month we’re sharing treat holders!
My treat holder fits a pack of gum, perfectly! This is a project I’ve shared before but when you use brand new paper (I used Monster Bash Designer Series Paper), it becomes new again! Three months ago I joined Weight Watchers so I knew my treat holder couldn’t have chocolate in it (I LOVE chocolate) so I opted for a delicious pack of gum!
This little treat holder couldn’t be easier to make! You’ll need to do a little scoring and a little cutting and that’s it. It comes together really quickly! I don’t have a new video today creating my project using Monster Bash Designer Series Paper but I do have a video I made last year that will demonstrate how to make the holder and all the measurements (please note: the Designer Series Paper and stamp set used in the video are no longer available). You can find the video farther down in this post.
I used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie cardstock to create the holder. A strong adhesive is needed to assemble the box so I used Tear & Tape. There’s a little flap on the front of the box that is held closed with Glittered Organdy Ribbon. The sentiment sits on Silver Glimmer Paper and both were cut out using our Layering Circle Dies. Sometimes it can be tricky getting things to stick to glimmer paper so I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue. To attach the glimmer paper and sentiment to the box, I added more liquid glue to the upper half of the circle. Our Every Season Punch Pack has a cute little bat that I cut out using Basic Black cardstock and adhered with a glue dot (you could use the glue again but the dot fits perfectly). I used Snail adhesive to attach the Monster Mash Designer Series Paper to the holder but again, you could use liquid glue.
This is the gum I used!
Blog Candy
Leave a comment today to be entered to win my blog candy! I’ll send one person all the paper and embellishments needed to create today’s project (you’ll need to supply your own stamp set, ink and adhesive).
