Ghirardelli Treat Packages

Do you need table favors, gifts for teachers, birthday treats or fun giveaways at work? I’ve got you covered! I made these treats Halloween-themed, but you can really make them for any occasion.

Instructions:

Cut a piece of DSP 3″ x 6″. For the treat to open on the side (as shown), have the 6″ side be “up.” To open from the bottom (ideal for table favors with names) then make sure you have the 3″ side be “up.”

Ghirardelli treats are nearly 3/8″ of an inch thick so that’s what the gusset should be. Place DSP in the trimmer long side up with the left side of the paper on the 3″ mark (in half). Move it over to the left 3/16″ and score and then back to the 3″ mark and to the right another 3/16″ to score. This gives a gusset of exactly 3/8″. Fold on these score lines.

Use a 1/4″ hole punch to punch 2 holes in the “open” side of the treat to tie it closed with a ribbon. Cut 10″ of ribbon, which will make a nice small bow. If you like bigger bows use 12″ or more of ribbon.

Use Stamp ‘n Seal+ on the inside to secure the treat down. Close the front flap, feed the ribbon through the back of the holes and tie the bow. Use the Everyday Label punch in coordinating cardstock colors to your DSP and decorate to suit your needs. I used stamps from the Cutest Halloween stamp set and the Halloween punch (or fussy cutting) to get images from the DSP. In the tutorial video, I used the cat punch to add a fun twist to this collection. There are also BONUS extra treats for other occasions shown at the end of the video.

Valentine’s Day favors

I made these a few years ago for a craft fair and they were a hit. They are simple to put together, but are so stinking cute for the easy effort. I have a tutorial on YouTube here, or you can watch it on my Facebook page here and make comments and post your own versions. Here are the dimensions again for reference:

Base – 1″ x 3 5/8″, scored at 1 1/8″ at each end, corners rounded

Wrap – 1 3/8″ x 4 1/2″, score at 3/4″ on one end

Flag – 1″ x 1/4″ plus a mini punched heart

Some of the DSP is retired, but that’s the beauty of this project. You can use what you have on hand to create it as long as you have a paper pattern you like and a matching color cardstock. I listed the current and retired patterns I used below and also the one that’s coming in a couple of days that I ordered to use on this project: Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper (which will also be GORGEOUS for other things as well). I’ll post pictures of the mailboxes made with the new paper on Facebook after my order comes in in a few days. If you do wish to place any orders, cash in on Sale-a-bration and earn free stuff, please use host code JTVK4JCJ during January 2021. (If your order is over $150, don’t use the host code.)

If you make some of these mailboxes I would be thrilled to see them! You’re welcome to post pictures under the Facebook Live video HERE. This is a no-stamping project, but I still wish you Happy Stamping! 😊
