A Crafty Little Treat Holder

Happy Thursday everyone!
It's Joni here with a quick and easy tutorial for a little treat holder using your

favorite 6x6 sheets of designer papers and wonderful products from DCRU.

Last month I had the opportunity to attend a Meet and Greet with 20 other crafters.

Everyone swapped ideas and I am so excited to share this one with you!

To begin you will need:
6x6 sheet of designer paper (double sided works well)
adhesive
embellishments

Now let's begin!
Start with a 6x6 piece of paper and score horizontally:

Fold paper in half, forming a triangle:

Fold one side over, bringing the point halfway across the plane:

Repeat on the other side:

Last step:
Fold down top flap to create a pocket:

Adhere and embellish!

This is a great project for a quick hostess or teacher's gift,
for little treats as well as gift cards (tucked behind the peppermints), or

even as birthday party favors. It's so fun that the kids can make these themselves for a craft!

As you can see, tea bags fit perfectly into a 6x6 size. Follow the same directions

to create 8x8 treat holders to accommodate hot chocolate packets and bigger snacks.
You can find all these wonderful 6x6 papers HERE at DCRU with the most amazing prices.

Thank you so much for coming by everyone, be sure to let us know if you've tried this out!
Have a wonderful day. :)

Inspiration Post: Easel Cards

Hello ACLP Friends!! It's Sheri here today to share a little inspiration with you!! One of my favorite types of cards to make are Easel Cards. They are super easy to make once you learn the basic construction of the card. The dimensions can be changed to create any size card you like. To get you started I thought I would show you a 5" x 5" Square Card.



Supplies Needed:
Scor-Pal/Scor-Buddy (or any Scor Tool)
Scor-Tape (Redline or other strong Adhesive)
1-5" x 10" Piece of Card Stock
1-5" x 5" Piece of Card Stock
Other: Stamps, Decorative Paper, & Embellishments to complete card.




Step 1: Scor the 5" x 10" piece of card stock at the 5" and 7 1/2".










Step 2:
Take your scor tool and fold all scor lines to create this shape.










Step 3:
Place Scor-Tape to the 2 1/2" x 5" section of the card stock that is facing up.








Step 4:
Attach the 5"x 5" piece of Card Stock to Scor-tape.










Step 5:
Here's your complete Easel card base. Now you can decorate the front & inside of the card. You will need to add an embellishment or an extra layer to the inside in order for the Easel to stand up by itself.

Here's my completed card:

Recipe items found in the DCRU store:
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White CS, Cupid DP Collection (Pink Paislee's); Stamps: Emma Puddle Jumper (Lori Boyd/Claudia & Co), Sentiment (A Muse); Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Tools: Copics, Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Paper Piercer; Other: Twine, Pearls

Hope you were inspired to try this fun technique!!

Happy Stamping!!
