 Ink: Black, Ridinghood Red, Gray
Acessories: Punches, Ribbon & Top Note Die Cut, small cellobag

 

Cubed Treat Holder Love this Cubed Shaped Window Treat Holder. Now this one is another one that I had on my To Do list and also another one from Andrea! Very great direction/tutorial.  I really liked making this one and again it was super easy to follow her directions.

I used the same as above except for Transparency is used here and the Coluzzle.  I also used P. Piroutte Cardstock.

Valentine Window Treat Pouch

Author: January 12, 2009 0 Comments

Love you Much 1 I saw this and totally cased it from again the Paper Crafts Magazine October 2008 Issue! That issue has TONS of great Holders for any occassion! Desinger is Carolyn King!

Super easy I changed a little bit of the measurements so here goes:

I used the Love You Much Bundle yet again! LOVE this set! Everything used is Stampin' Up! unless noted otherwise. Cardstock colors are Choc. Chip, Riding hood Red, White and Candy Lane DSP.

Cut Cardstock 4 1/4 x 11, Score the 11 inch side at 4, 5 1/4 & 9 1/4.  I used the Scallop  Die Cut for the Big Shot, and the Coluzzle to make the Window.  That is all there is to it and you just embellish as you like!  For the candy I used the Medium Cello Bag, folded it down with Scotch Tape then used sticky strip to stick it to the back of the treat holder.  These where super easy to make and you can get 2 out of 1 sheet of cardstock.  I'm thinking of making some for my son's Pre-K Class but instead of kisses I'll add Animal Crackers.  HMMM! I'll have to think about that one. LOL!

As always thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin!
