Double Pocket Treat Holders are quick and easy to make. Here’s a 6×6 treat holder made with Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I’ve made them in three sizes: 6×6, 8×8, and 12×12.  Choose the size you want to make.  My directions below will be for the 8×8.

So far everything is the same for all three sizes.  Here’s where each size is scored differently.  Choose the size paper you started with and score accordingly.

Score 6×6 at 3″ and 5-1/2″

Score 8×8 at 3-3/4″ and 7-1/2″

Score 12×12 at 5-1/4″ and 11-1/2″

Open and fold the two sides toward the center.

If you’re making the 6×6 treat holder, you’ll have snip off a little bit on each side, that hangs over when you fold on the score lines as shown above.

Add adhesive on the two places shown above and fold together making sure the pockets will lay flat.  Punch whatever size hole you want on the other two corners also shown above.  I used the 3/4″ punch for the 8×8 and 12×12.  I used the 1/2″ for the 6×6.  I punched the first hole where I thought it looked good, then I folded the two pieces together and punched the second hole by matching it up with the first one.

For Step 6, fold together in the shape of a “W.”  The pockets go to the outside. Bring the two holes together at the top and add a ribbon.  Decorate as desired.

It took me a couple days to get the directions ready in between several runs to Menard’s, Office Depot, cleaning and painting walls etc.  Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day of our construction, but we are moving furniture on Saturday, cleaning carpets and the tile grout next Monday and Wednesday.  We also are getting rid of Sean’s old desk, moving Steve’s desk down to Sean’s room, moving Steve’s office into my old stamping office (his original office) and moving my 13 years of Stampin’ Up! supplies into my new Stamping Studio.  My sister called tonight to see what her family should bring to Thanksgiving.  I told her I’ve ordered a ham and turkey and that’s as far as I’ve gotten.  I always make homemade pies and our other Thanksgiving favorites. Have you started planning your Thanksgiving?  Do you have a favorite kind of pie?  I like to make Pumpkin, Pecan, Apple and Coconut Cream. Two weeks left to get everything done.  It’s good to have a deadline.  🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

I told you recently I had a Christmas Bag in a Box in my head and here it is.  Such a cute and simple box!  Who do you need to give a little something to this Christmas?  This little box could be exactly what you need.  I know some teenagers who would love to receive this box with money inside. 🙂

The directions to make the box are here.

I had a great time at the Stamping Business Builder’s Retreat in Wisconsin.  Lisa Pretto does a great job!

While I was gone, the floors were finished in my dining room and stamping office.  The windows and sliding door will get installed next Wednesday and Thursday.  My Stamp N Storage arrived too!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for October 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month our projects feature cards made using “wicked” folds. What is a “wicked” fold? It is anything other than the standard A2 card fold. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

The little gingerbread house that I snipped out of the Candy Cane Lane DSP is adorable!

All the supplies I used are shown at the bottom of this post.  The red card base is 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″. The smaller red piece is 2-1/4″ x 11″.  I had to make it that wide to cover the gingerbread kids when the card was shut.  The white “snow pieces” are (2 pieces) 2-1/2″ x 4 and (1) 4″ x 5-1/4″.  Please email me if you have any questions.

Here’s the view from the top.  You may be able to see I used the Softly Falling embossing folder to have “snow” all over the background of the card.
