Hard Candy Wrapper Style treat holder
I figured out a simpler way to make this treatholder using our new Fresh Prints DS Paper Packs (which are 4-1/2" x 6-1/2") and the Envelope Punch Board.
Tags 4 You stamp set; Real Red inkpad; Pool Party cardstock; Silver Glimmer Paper; Label Bracket and small Heart punches.
I scored the long edge at 1-1/2", 3", 4-1/2" and 6". The short edge is scored at "1 and 3-1/2". I then used the Envelope Punch Board to punch holes along the intersecting lines. Similar to the Christmas Crackers that many of you have made but I found this simpler and it looks more like a candy wrapper!
January Stamp-A-Stack #5:
I love these Thinlits cards! Especially when it has the extra flap so you can keep your message hidden.

Packaging for Homemade Flapjack mix
I forgot to post this last month…
I love Trader Joe's instant Steel Cut Oatmeal and eat it for breakfast almost every day. I hate to just pitch the containers and was holding on to them in order reuse and reduce. Every year I make a yummy Flapjack mix that I give out as gifts and so when I got around to it this year I had an aha moment in terms of packaging:
I realized as I was getting ready to wrap the containers that they were about 13" in circumference so had to create a cardstock "seam" to cover the gap. I used retired DSP (from last year) and embellished the top using our Gift Bow Bigz L die (which unfortunately did not carry over into the Occasions catalog-boo hoo!).
