Treat Holders



These treat holder are super simple and can be made for any occasion.  I am featuring 2 sizes, this one uses 1/2  sheet of Lucky Limeade card stock measuring 4 1/4 X 11.  Score at 3 1/2,  4 1/2, 8 and 9.  This leaves a 2 inch flap which allows you to punch, or use an edgelit.  I used the Scallop Trim Border punch on this treat.  I added a 2 X 4 1/4 piece of Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer paper to the front and the Sentiment from EveryBunny is stamped in Pacific Point ink, punched with the Large Oval punch and layered on the Scalloped punch of Lucky Limeade.

This picture shows the score lines and the Treat I will be enclosing. 
Punch the edge of the flap.  Punch 2 holes and tie your Pacific Point Stitched ribbon for a handle.  Staple your treat, or use a piece of Sticky Strip to hold the treat in.  I used 2 dimensionals inside the flap to close the treat holder.  And here is another version:  Bigger flap with another pattern of Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer paper.



Next up, the Small one!  This uses half the card stock, so you can get 4 from one sheet!!  Measures
 2 1/8 X 11.

These Snicker and Twix eggs come 6 to a package and I had a coupon!!  Yippee!!  The score marks are the same:  4 1/2, 5 1/2, 8 and 9.

This time I punched a peek a boo hole so the egg would show using the Scallop Oval punch.  Then I cut a piece of Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer paper 2 X 4 1/2 and adhered over the punched hole.  Don't panic I will show you what's next!!
Ok almost ready, you will turn this flap over and it will all make sense!

Where did those whales come from?  It's the opposite side of the striped paper!!  So line up your punch and punch again, you have a perfect guide!!

Secure that treat with staples or Sticky strip, add your ribbon.  I stamped Yum in Melon Mambo ink from Pretty Petites in the Sale-a-bration brochure and punched with the Petite Curly Label punch.  I trimmed about an inch off the flap to show more "EGG"!!!
