Hearts Come Home Treat Holder

My mom and I follow many of the Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Germany on Pinterest. We love the treat holders and the 3D projects they create. When we saw a snowman treat holder featuring the scalloped tag topper punch from Germany, we had to make one right away!

The inspiration for this treat holder shape comes from a photograph on Pinterest. There was no name or watermark on the photograph or a link to the website or instructions. The greeting was in German. The stamps on the original treat holder have long since retired, so I created my own winter scene using the Hearts Come Home and the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets.

To figure out the dimenstions of the treat holder, I used what I knew about the scalloped tag topper punch dimensions and experimented to determine the rest. The scalloped tag topper punch uses a 2" wide strip of paper. So, I started with a 2" x 11" inch strip of Night of Navy cardstock. My score lines are 1/2" wide to fit the Merry Christmas sentiment label. Once I was happy with the size of the bottom of the treat holder, I measured my stamped and cut the Whisper White cardstock to fit.

Below are the dimensions that I came up from the inspiration photograph.

Foil Wrapped Chocolate Snowman Treat Holder Measurements
	Paper	Dimensions
Card Base	Night of Navy	2” x 5-1/4”
1st Matte	Whisper White	2” x 1-7/8”
Sentiment Label	Whisper White	scrap at least 2” x 2”

First, cut your cardstock. With the long side of the Night of Navy cardstock along the top of the Simply Scored Board, score one end at 1/2", 1", 1-1/2", and 2". Burnish all of your score lines towards you.

Then punch the other end with the scalloped tag topper punch.

Add Tear and Tape or other strong adhesive to the back of the treat holder base between the end of the treat holder base and the 1/2" score line. Remove the tape backing.

Fold up your score lines  to form a little box platform for the snowman to sit and adhere to the treat holder base as shown in the photograph.

Stamp your winter scene on the Whisper White cardstock and adhere to the treat holder base just underneath the scalloped tag topper punch hole.

Put two glue dots on the back of the foil wrapped snowman and attach to your winter scene.

Stamp Merry Christmas onto Whisper White cardstock, punch out with the Classic Label Punch, add dimensionals to the back, and adhere to the treat holder base bottom front.

Thread a piece of Whisper White Organza Ribbon through the tag topper hold and tie a Lark's Head knot or a bow. Your treat is ready for giving!

This treat holder would be a great gift for schools, friends, family, and more. I hope you give this sweet, winter treat holder a try!

Thanks for stopping by!
