Need a fun packaging idea for a small gift?

Gift package for Anytime

Here's another fun idea for treat holders to use anytime. Just change out the sentiment stamp used and this little, versatile holder can become anything from a candy holder, travel-size lotions, or even a gift card holder. You decide what you need and adopt it.

You can make this any size. This one started with a 11 " X 3-1/4" Basic Black base card. The Designer Series paper on the front and back is Everyday Chic The basic Black Sheet is scored at 4-3/4" and at 6-1/4" I made several of these and stamped the sentiments in different colors to match the color of the gift inside this gift package.

Oh My Goodies stamp is stamped in 3 different layers.and uses Oval Punch and Deco Labels Framelit Die

A small box forms the base, with an oval punched out for the hand lotion to fit into tightly. The ribbon holds it at the top.

These can be made with a small base box to hold candy, or, for this project, I turned over the box and punch an oval hole to hold a travel-size hand cream or shower gel. I shipped this one to my Mom, so i wanted the ribbon to hold the small bottle in place while in transit, so the bow is lower on this project than I might typically place it.

Save 15% when you buy the Oh My Goodies Stamp set and the Deco Label Collection Framelits Dies together - Use 140252 for the wood-mount stamp bundle or 140253 for the Clear-mount stamp set and Framelits Dies bundle.

Halloween Treats

Halloween Treat Sour Cream Holders
This Weeks' Deals

Trick or Treat Containers

Here's another fun idea for treat holders for the Halloween holiday.

These sour cream holders are simple to make. Cut a 5" X 5" square out of designer series paper. I used Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper for these. Simply seal on two sides and on the 3rd (short) side fold in half in the opposite direction of the other short side.

These hold a couple of wrapped candies and are fun and fast to make.
