The Hearts of Elegance bundle is in our Online Exclusives section of our store. This bundle does not appear in our regular catalog. Instead it's available through our online store. I paired the bundled with our brand new gift bags. The gift bags come in a pack with two different sizes. This is the smaller gift bag. I left the top open so I can add some treats to it. The mini gold heart that I used is self-adhesive. The hearts are out … [Read more...] about Be Mine
Treat Holders
Book Boxes
One of the nicest things in the September-December Catalog is the Book Boxes treat boxes. These boxes come plain white and you can decorate them however you like. Here's mine decorated. You can also decorate the inside of the boxes too. The strap n the boxes come with a bit of adhesive on them but I wanted to be able to open and close my box. I added the snow globe on the front with pop dots. The strap then slides under the snow globe … [Read more...] about Book Boxes
Hocus Pocus Part 2
In playing with the cauldron die, I thought it would be fun to make it into a 3D treat holder. I die cut two of the cauldrons, and then made a long strip that would fit between the two. This is what it looks like. Here is a view from the side showing the black band between the two. Basically, you made a long strip and score it .25" inches from each side so you have an area that you can glue to the front and the back. The box area in … [Read more...] about Hocus Pocus Part 2
Hocus Pocus
I know I share a version of this matchbook treat holder every year, and they are still just as popular as the first time I shared it. So, how can I not continue to share this project? This is what it looks like closed. Here is the open treat holder. The candy is stapled inside the treat holder to make sure it stays in place. I did some math and figured out a solution to maximize how many of these you can get out of a single 8.5x11 … [Read more...] about Hocus Pocus
Matchbook M&Ms
One of my all time favorite treat holders is this matchbook M&M holder. So simple, yet so cute. You staple the M&M bag inside and then decorate the matchbook. This is what it looks like open. I used the Happy Halloween strip to hide the staple. I had fun decorating the front with the pumpkin jack-o-laterns. The matchbook is so small it doesn't need a lot. What do you do for Halloween? Do you pass out … [Read more...] about Matchbook M&Ms
Treats For You
In the January-April Catalog, there's a great two page spread of different projects using the Country Floral Suite. One of my favorites is the wrapped candy bar. The Catalog shows a full size candy bar. I took the idea and shrank it down to fit a Ghirardelli Chocolate Square. To make this project, you'll start by putting the ribbon on the chocolate. I recommend using a glue dot to hold the ribbon in place. Then you'll wrap your paper … [Read more...] about Treats For You
A Box In A Bag
Last week I shared our adorable Christmas Scottie with our Peekaboo Treat bags. This week, I'm sharing him with a treat bag that you can make in almost any size to suit your needs. My bag below is approximately 3" x 3" tall and 1" across on the bottom. So, what is a box in a bag? This is a gift bag that you make with a box bottom. You can see the bottom below. It has squared off sides just like a box. But the top and sides are rounded like … [Read more...] about A Box In A Bag

These bags are food safe and the package comes with both white and Kraft colored bags. … [Read more...] about Christmas Scottie
