Treat Containers Class #2

Welcome back! I'm so glad you have decided to join our second treat container class.  Today we will work on simple sleeves to package treats. It can be candy bars, cookies, candles, and other rectangular items. I'll be using different DSPs and clear envelope to package my treats.  

Most of the treats are packaged in their original containers and I've just shared easy ways to dress them up for giving to coworkers, friends and family.

For a fall treat, I bought these Mug Hugger cookies at Aldie's and created a wrap for the box.  I used the Gathering Together DSP and scored it to fit the box.  I used the Gathering Moments stamp set to create a tag for the box. I cut a circle tag from Basic Beige card stock and stamped "Gather" on it in Cajun Craze ink. I stamped the acorn in Crushed Curry ink.  These are DistINKtive stamps and show lots of detail and texture.

The Halloween treat container uses the Spooky Sweet DSP, the Homemade Treats bundle and a clear envelope to package the cookie. This is a really easy way to gift cookies.  I cut the DSP at 5 x 4, scored it at 2.5, folded it over the top of the envelope and stapled it to keep it in place.  I cut a frame from the Fright Night dies and stamped the "Tis' the Season for Baking" in Early Espresso ink.  I cut the top off  and wrapped the top in Early Espresso twine then tied with a box. I stamped the baking mitt in Early Espresso ink, the piping bag in Pumpkin Pie ink then used them to hide the staples. I also used a few pieces of ephemera from the DSP pack for more details.  

I created a hostess gift of candles wrapped with Gathering Together DSP and a tag using the Fright Night frame dies.  I cut a strip of the plaid print DSP 12 x 2.5, wrapped it around the candles and adhered with Tear and Tape.  I stamped my tag with stamps from the Gathering Moments stamp set in Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Crushed Curry inks. I added a bow using Basic Beige ribbon and Early Espresso twine.

The next treat is a Little Debbie Nutty Bar. These are my husband's favorite!  I simply cut a strip of Autumn Toile DSP, wrapped it around the bar and stapled it at the top.  I created a tag and tied a bow at the top.

For the final treat package, I had some festively dipped pretzels that I packaged in a clear envelope and folded the top down.  I cut a piece of 2.5 square from Autumn Toile DSP, then cut it at on the diagonal.  I cut a circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies with Pumpkin Pie card stock and a stitched circle in Basic White card stock. I stamped a pumpkin from the Party Celebrations stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink and the stem in Early Espresso ink.  I adhered the triangles to the corner of the envelope for a decorative twist!

My goal was to demonstrate how easily it is to dress up treats for friends.  All it takes is some festive DSP, tags and ribbon.  The next time you are at the grocery store, look closely at seasonal items that can be used to show appreciation to friends and family!
