Party Panda Be Mine Treat Holder

I am so in love with the Party Panda stamp set! Party Panda is great for birthdays, hellos, Valentine's day, thinking of you, and so much more. What a sweet addition he makes to this box in a bag style treat holder!

Here's how I made it! First start with a 2-1/8" square piece of Thick Whisper White or Calypso Coral cardstock. Score at 3/8" on all four sides.
 

Burnish all of the score lines. Cut and notch the two corner tabs on the bottom and on the top. Cutting a little off of each corner tab will help make the box easier to fold and less bulky where the two sides meet.

Place Tear & Tape or other strong adhesive on each of the four corner tabs. Remove the tape backing and fold up the tabs one at a time.
 

Now you have an open-topped box.

Next cut a 3" by 6" piece of Designer Series Paper and add Tear & Tape along the bottom edge and down one side of the Designer Series Paper. Remove the tape backing.

Carefully, line up the edge of the Designer Series Paper with the bottom of the box.

 
Wrap the Designer Series paper around the bottom of the box, pressing firmly along the way.

Once you reach the beginning of the Designer Series Paper, overlap the ends and press the papers together.

Punch a hole towards the top of the bag and through both layers of the Designer Series Paper with a 1/8" Hand-held Circle Punch. Cut an 8" piece of ribbon, fold it in half, and pass half of the folded ribbon through the punched hole. Push the ends of the ribbon through the ribbon loop on the other side and pull gently until the knot is snug, forming a Lark's Head Knot. Trim the ribbon ends, if desired.

Stamp the panda holding the envelope image onto Whisper White cardstock and fussy cut him out. Color in the heart on the envelope with a Melon Mambo marker. Then write Be Mine on the envelope with the Melon Mambo marker. Add dimensionals to the back of the panda.

Die cut the ovals and adhere the Whisper White oval to the Calypso Coral oval.

Adhere the panda to the Whisper White oval.

Add dimensionals to the back of the Calypso Coral scalloped oval and attach to the front of the treat holder.

This Party Panda treat holder will be fit about 6 chocolate kisses or similar sized treat. For a nonfood option, try fun-shaped erasers, paper clips, and stickers.

I hope you give this sweet treat holder a try. How would you decorate yours? I would love to see what you make!
