12 Weeks of Halloween 2020 | Week 8

Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Karen Robinson | 12 Weeks of Halloween – Week 8

Hi everyone🖐 Today I have a different type of treat holder to share with you than I usually make, using the Tags Tags Tags stamp set and Word Wishes Dies from the 2020-21 Annual Catalogue.

Little Paper Party, 12 Weeks of Halloween 2020 - Week 8, 1

To mix things up a little I added a pocket to the front of a standard card which is perfect for a flat lollipop or two and I thought would be a fun way to combine treat giving and send a little Halloween hello as well.

The pocket uses a piece of 3.5″ x 6″ Plaid Tidings DSP and I added the smallest gusset possible to allow for the lollipop stick but still lie pretty flat when it’s empty. The handle is a small piece of jute twine and I added a little extra sparkle with some glitter stars & pumpkin using some retired products.

This card doesn’t fit into a standard envelope with such a large lollipop so a few ideas you could use to package up your card include; clear bags (I showed these in the video), the Acetate Card Boxes in the 2020-21 Annual Catalogue, make a custom envelope or use one a little larger than usual.

Here’s the How To:

Card:
DSP: 3/4″ x card height (x2)
Border: 3/4″ x card height (x2)
Centre panel: 3″ x card height

Pocket:
DSP: 3-1/2″ x 6″

Score @ 1-1/2″, 1-5/8″, 1-3/4″, 4-1/4″, 4-3/8″ & 4-1/2″ (on 6″ side)
Turn 90°
Score @ 1/2″ (on 3-1/2″ side)
Trim base
Fold gussets, add adhesive, sponge edges
Add twine before assembling
Assemble bag
Tie on tag with ribbon, glue in place
Adhere bag to card front with tombow

This was such a fun card to put together and I think it will still look pretty good after the yummies have been removed. I wouldn’t post this as a standard card, but it would travel quite well with other things or you could send it it one of the slim mailing boxes that are available.

Cheers,
Karen
