Pretty Packages for You

Pretty Packages at WildWestPaperArts.com - 1 Happy Monday! Look at the pretty packages created with some favorite Stampin’ Up! products. Just love these.

My favorite is the treat holder created with one of the Gift Card Enclosures (#136662). We learned this technique (turning a Gift Card Enclosure into a Gift Box) at the 2014 Create.Inspire.Share Event by Stampin’ Up!

Pretty Package Treat Holder

Here’s how:

Score three flap at 1/2″ from the original score line along three sides.
Secure the flaps using Sticky Strip.
Add a belly band to help contain your goodies.
Decorate and fill.
Give it away. You may want to keep one for yourself too!

The Gift Card Enclosure Pack contains 10 enclosures so you’ll have plenty for the special people on your goodie list.

Not a baker or a treat maker? It’s the perfect size to hold three Stampin’ Up! Note Cards with Envelopes (#131527). A great gift for the calorie conscious.
