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.
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!

Smitten Mitten CASE
Today's card is a CASE from a card designed by Mary Fish. I loved the way she layered the banner, stitched circle, and mitten! I just had to recreate it.
I didn't have the original sentiment stamp on the Old Olive banner, so I substituted the smitten sentiment stamp. I also embossed the Real Red 2nd matte with the Holly Embossing Folder for some added texture.
I am saddened that Smitten Mitten (#146070) is one of the Bundles that is retiring from the Holiday Catalog. Smitten Mitten is in my top ten favorite products from the Holiday Catalog! Mittens are such a classic symbol of winter. I was really hoping it would carry over. This Bundle has incredible versatility - Christmas Cards, winter birthdays, garlands, Advent Calendars, gift tags, and more. Many Mitten Framelits make it fun to design your own mitten combinations!
For the inside, I added a strip of plaid patterned paper from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper Pack and a strip of Basic Black cardstock. I also added a row of Real Red hearts using the hearts in a row stamp above the cardstock. This heart stamp is two rows of hearts. In order to make it look like one row of hearts, I masked below where I wanted to stamp with a sticky note.
I hope you are as smitten with this card as I am and give it a try!
There has been a change in the second reservation period for the Stamparatus. The Stamparatus has been so popular that the second reservation period has been expanded! Hooray! This is great news!

There has been a change in the second reservation period for the Stamparatus. The Stamparatus has been so popular that the second reservation period has been expanded! Hooray! This is great news!
- The new reservation period starts on December 5th, 2017 at 2pm (MT) and ends on December 30th, 2017.
- December reservations will be processed in the order they are received and will begin shipping around March 19th, 2018.
- The limits on the number of Stamparatuses have also changed to 1 per customer and 1 per demonstrator.
- Stampin' Up! is not placing limits on the total number of reservations they receive in the month of December, so the third reservation period that was scheduled for January will be canceled. December will be the last opportunity to reserve the Stamparatus until its official release in June 2018.
- If you reserved a Stamparatus in November, your reservation will stay the same (unless you change it).
- If you reserved a Stamparatus in November, you can reserve more in December.
