Hershey Nugget Treat Holder & Ghiradelli Treat Holder


 I didn't get a chance to post the Nugget Treat Holder yesterday so I'll post two little gifts today.
The top two photos show the Hershey's Nugget Treat Holder. I used a piece of cardstock cut a scant 2" x 7", scorec at 3" and 4".   You also will need a piece of Designer Series Paper cut 1-1/2" x 6-1/4", scored at 2, 3, 5 and 6 inch marks.
I used the Scallop Tag Topper punch on each edge of the card stock. This gives you a decorative edge and the hole for tying close.
Wrap the DSP around the scored and folded cardstock base to make the holder. Add three Hershey Nuggets or other wrapped candies and then add crochet ribbon and twine to close.
I also used the Bow Builder punch to make the bow for the front. CASE:  Dawn Griffith

This little Ghiradelli Holder goes together so quickly with Washi tape and a punched image. Start with a scant 2" x 5-1/2" piece of card stock, scored at 2-5/8" and 2-7/8". Punch each end using the Scallop Tag Topper punch. Decorate front with Washi tape and Punched star topped off with rhinestone. Fold card stock, insert Ghiradelli square and tie shut with twine. It's that easy! CASE: Mary Fish

B.Y.O.P.

 B.Y.O.P. stamp set in the Occasions catalog is one of my favorites. It's designed to use with gift cards. There are expressions for specific occasions but a few can be used for anything. I also used the new Bow Builder Punch on this card. Originally I was just going to put the bow on the card but then there were these little strips of card stock sitting on my work surface from a previous cutting in the exact same color and that gave me the ribbon idea. Since then I've seen it on other people's blogs and Pinterest. When using the Bow Builder punch you do have to punch twice to get all the pieces you need. I put mine together using mini glue dots. I won't be sending it for a while so I'm going to see how it holds. Sticky Strip might be the better adhesive.
The inside of the card explains the expression and I added a little strip of matching card stock to the left side. I won't be sending a gift card but will be sending a check in this card; so the strip is just attached with a glue dot at each end and then I'll fold the check and hang it over the strip of card stock. I'm sure somebody else has come up with this idea, too. LOL
