Designer Series Papers, the double sided designs enable you to coordinate and create cards quickly. The 12″ x 12″ sheets are ideal for creating stunning backgrounds.

By selecting phrases from the Wanted To Say Dies and die cutting cardstock to coordinate with the designer series paper, the cards are completed in just a manner of minutes. And best of all, the Fresh As A Daisy is also in this month’s Designer Series Paper Sale!

Each month I like to include a little something extra in the card kit to-go packages. Since this month’s theme featured products from the Rustic Harvest Suite, I decided to decorate the Peekaboo Treat Bags using the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. It’s the first time that I have used the Peekaboo Treat Bags but it certainly won’t be the last! Plans are already in place to use them for treat giving this holiday season. The treat bags are the perfect size for small treats, food safe and a great price! And best of all, decorating the peekaboo treat bags is simple. So be sure to add these treat bags to your next Stampin’ Up! order.
Project Materials:
Peekaboo Treat Bags
Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper
Basic White Cardstock (scraps for stamping leaves & sentiment)
Hello Harvest Bundle (for leaves)
Cup of Tea Bundle (for tag)
Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Pad
Linen Thread
Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive
Mini Glue Dots
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Instruction Tips:
Cut the desired pattern from the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. The width for both top and bottom panels is 3-15/16″. On my samples, the cut dimensions for the top panel is 3-15/16″ x 1-7/8″. There was some variation on the bottom panel height of the peekaboo bags so I recommend measuring the panel to determine the height you desire. The height varied from 1″ -1’12”.
Use multipurpose liquid adhesive to attach the designer series paper panels to the peekaboo treat bag panels.
Stamp leaves onto Basic White cardstock using Mossy Meadow ink pad and cut with the coordinating die.
Using the Mossy Meadow ink, stamp “enjoy” onto the Basic White cardstock and cut with the tag die. (both the stamp and tag are from the Cup of Tea bundle).
Now it’s time to add your treats to your Peekaboo Treat Bag!!! To go with the fall theme, I added Pumpkin Spice and Apple Flavored candies – yum!!!
Wrap Linen Thread three times around the top band of the Peekaboo Treat Bag positioning the twine in the notches on each side of the bag.
Attach the die cut leaves and tag to the top band over the twine.
Complete by embellishing the tag top with a Linen Thread bow.
As mentioned earlier, I’ll be using the Peekaboo Treat Bags for the upcoming holidays. So be sure to subscribe to my blog so you’ll get notifications when I post. I have additional ideas for embellishing the treat bags.

Happy Friday! As promised, today I’m sharing the project details from Wednesday evening’s Facebook Live. The bundles, Little Treats meets Banner Year, combine to create adorable treat holders. First, thank you to those that watched the presentation! Despite a few technical glitches, I felt it important to continue and demonstrated the treat boxes below. Second and good news, I learned how to correct the glitch. As a result, going forward, my Facebook Lives should be in landscape position. It’s a learning process and important to not give up but keep trying. Right?!
Now, on to the projects. As mentioned in the demonstration, I love making treat holders and the Little Treats Bundle is great for doing so. The Little Treat Box Dies from the bundle creates an ideal sized treat box when you want to give “a little something”. Even better, use the Banner Year Bundle and the creative possibilities grow exponentially. So, what will fit in the treat boxes? In addition to small candies or packages of small cookies, the Bath & Body Works small hand sanitizers fit perfectly. In this post, I’m sharing 6 different designs combining the two bundles but have other ideas that I’ll share later. For the projects, the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper provides a wide variety of plaid color combinations making it a perfect selection for making the treat boxes.
Assembly & Tips:
This is a great project for using your scrap cardstock! Though I’m providing dimensions, in most cases, just grab small pieces from your scrap pile.
Treat boxes can be left open or select coordinating ribbons to tie closed.
For the first step, use the Little Treat Box Die to cut the 6″ x 6″ Plaid Designer Series. Then, assemble the treat boxes. If desired, add adhesive to the front and back panels to hold the panels fixed against the inside box.
Spider Halloween Tag
From a 1″ x 1″ scrap of Basic Black cardstock, use the spider die from the Little Treat Box Dies to cut a spider. After cutting the spider, use Clear Wink of Stella to add shimmer to the spider body and add two small Basic Rhinestone Jewels for the eyes. On a 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the Happy, Happy Halloween sentiment from the Little Treats stamp set using Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin’ Pad. Then, stamp the web from the Banner Year Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad on the upper corner. Use the 1-1/2″ circle punch to cut. Use the stitched and scalloped circle die from the Little Treat Box Dies to cut from a 2″ x 2″ piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock. Adhere the stamped sentiment circle to the Daffodil Delight scalloped circle and add the spider using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. Add to the front of the treat box using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Bat Boo Halloween Tag
Stamp BOO! (from the Banner Year Stamp Set) using Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the 1-1/2″ circle punch. Above the word BOO, stamp the Bat (Banner Year Stamp Set) using the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp another bat onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and fussy cut. Layer atop the stamped bat on the Whisper White using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Attach to a Scalloped Circle (Little Treat Box Dies) cut from Pumpkin Pie cardstock.
Happy Fall Y’all Tag
Cut each end of a 1″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Banners Pick A Punch. After punching the ends, stamp multiple leaves on the right side using Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink Pad – TIP: after inking stamp – “stamp off” onto a scrap piece of paper 2 times before stamping onto the tag. NOTE: All stamps for are from the Banner Year Stamp Set. Stamp the pumpkin using the Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink Pad onto the left side of the tag and also onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Stamp the pumpkin stem and the Happy Fall Y’all using Mossy Meadow Classic Ink Pad. Fussy cut the extra pumpkin and add atop the pumpkin on the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Happy Thanksgiving Tag
Create the banner tag by cutting a one end of a 1/2″ x 3″ strip of Whisper White cardstock using the Banners Pick A Punch. Using the Happy Thanksgiving stamp from the Banner Year Stamp Set, stamp the sentiment using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad close to the banner end. Ink the acorn stamp using Cinnamon Cider. Then, stamp off onto a scrap of paper before stamping beside the sentiment. Cut a 6″ piece of In-Color Bumblebee Ribbon and form a loop. Attach the ribbon loop to the treat box and add the banner tag using dimensionals.
Be Merry Tag
Create banners: Real Red cardstock (3″ x 1″) and Whisper White cardstock (2-3/4″ x 3/4″). Stamp “be merry” onto the Whisper White tag using Real Red Classic Ink Pad. Stamp the Holly using Shaded Spruce Classic Ink Pad. For the holly berries, stamp using Real Red and then add Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels atop the stamped berries. Layer the stamped tag onto the Real Red cardstock tag and attach to treat box using dimensionals.
HO HO HO Tag
From the Little Treats Stamp Set, stamp HO HO HO Merry Christmas using Real Red Classic Ink Pad onto a 1″ x 2-1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Next, cut into the tag shape using the die from the Little Treat Box Dies. Now stamp the Santa Hat, also from the LIttle Treats Stamp Set, using Real Red onto a 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the coordinating die. Add Clear Wink of Stella to the “fur” rim and “pompom” of the hat. Attach hat to the corner of the sentiment tag using a Glue Dot. To highlight the tag, create a belly band by wrapping a 1-1/4″ x 6″ piece of Basic Black cardstock around the assembled treat box. Run a bone folder along each corner to help crease and form the band. To seal the belly band, use a strong adhesive such Stampin’ Seal+ or Tear & Tape. Add the sentiment tag to the belly band using dimensionals.
I had lots of fun creating the Little Treat Boxes and even more fun, creating a variety of tags for each. As noted earlier, there are possibilities galore when combining the Little Treats and the Banner Year Bundles. So, don’t delay and order these bundles so you can start creating fun treat boxes to have for the upcoming seasonal events. And one last thing, if you want to watch the video click here (remember, it was a learning process! forward thru the first two minutes where I’m attempting to adjust the view. And no, I won’t be offended if you laugh!)

Today’s project is a quick and easy Matchbook Style Treat Holder. The treat holders were “a little something” in the June To-Go Class packages. The new 2020-2022 In Color cardstock provides the coordinating base for the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. I just love that the Flowers with Every Season Designer Series Paper coordinates with all of the new In Colors! The small packages of m&m candies fit perfectly inside the Matchbook Style Treat Holder but it’s easy to place other treats inside of a small cellophane bag to insert into the treat holder.
Side view of the Matchbook Style Treat Holder (with the package of m&m candies)
How To Create the Matchbook Style Treat Holder:
For the matchbook body: Cut a piece of cardstock 2-3/4″ x 8-1/2″. Score at 3-1/2″, 4″ and 7-3/4″; burnish the score lines with a bone folder. Then, fold along the 7-3/4″ score line and staple to create a tab to hold the top closed. (remember, we’re making a matchbook)
Next, cut the following:
coordinating cardstock – one piece at 2-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and another piece at 2-1/2″ x 5/8″
Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper: one piece 2-1/2″ x 3″ & one piece 2-1/4″ x 1/2″
After cutting, add the designer series paper to the cardstock pieces using Stampin’ Seal. Attach the layered panels to the front of the matchbook.
Stamp the “A Little Something” from the Parcels and Petal Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. After stamping, use the 1-1/2″ circle punch to cut (position so that the sentiment is toward the bottom of the circle leaving room for the ribbon).
Finish by tying a small bow using the 2020-2022 In Colors 1/4″ ribbon. Add to the sentiment label using a Mini Glue Dot.
Don’t you love how simple it is to make these treat holders? One piece of 8-1/2 x 11″ cardstock will make four treat holders so you can create lots of treat holders quickly!
Personal note: I did a video showing how to make these treat holders and was all set to add it but alas, it’s sideways! After several hours of trying to edit and correct, I gave up – the technology gremlins won!!!
