You are the Cat’s Meow Treat Holder

Valentine's Day is a great day to give out little treats, especially chocolate! Why not package a little love with the Cat and Dog Builder Punches? You can make a batch of these cuties for your friends and family in very little time!

These sweet treat holders are made the same way as the Cat Punch treat holders, using a strip of Designer Series Paper to form a triangular base to affix the dog and cat punch outs to. This year I added a dog treat holder. I am so happy to have a dog punch!

I couldn't decide which was my favorite, so I made a bunch of each! The dog punch outs are sporting a rhinestone collar with a heart pendant. The cats are wearing bows with a heart accent.

The heart accents are made to match the All My Love Designer Series Paper. I used the small tip on a Dark Lovely Lipstick to color in the small heart epoxy droplets. Since the Stampin' Blends contain permanent ink, they will stick to the epoxy droplets. You can customize the epoxy stickers with any of the Stampin' Blends to match your project!

Which is your favorite - the dog or the cat? I hope you give these treat holders a try! I would love to see your Cat and Dog Punch Valentine's Treat Holders! Leave a comment below or post a project photo on my Facebook page today!

You can find the measurements and a supply list at the end of this post.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cat and Dog Punch Noel Christmas Treat Holders

They're back! These Cat and Dog Builder Punches are another variation of the ones I made for Valentine's Day. I couldn't resist the cuteness of the Cat Punch and the Dog Builder Punch for Christmas! The Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper makes an elegant, traditional feel to these chocolate kiss treat holders!

I used five of the plaid patterned paper to create these sweet Dog Builder Punch treat holders. I was able to punch 9 dogs out of one 6" x 6" sheet of the designer series paper. I didn't cut the designer series paper before I started. I punched 3 dogs in a row along one edge of the paper, then rotated the paper 90 degrees and punched more dogs along that edge, and repeated until all 4 sides of the paper had been punched. I was very frugal with the amount of space between punches. There was enough paper in the center to punch out one more dog at an angle and with some wiggling of the punch.

Each treat holder can fit 1 chocolate kiss. I used the Christmas tree lights foiled wrapped chocolate kisses, but you can choose which design you would like. There are so many fantastic designs and flavors to choose from!

Here is a closeup of one of the dog treat holders. He is decorated with a greeting banner punched from the Classic Label Punch and the gold metallic pearls. I love these metallic pearls! I love them so much I used all of them up for this project and have added them to my next order! To embellish the rest of the treat holders, I dug into my secret retired product stash and used the Metallic Enamel Shapes. I love these enamel shapes so much, that I bought five additional packs before they retired. Metallics bring a warmth and shine to everything!

The cats turned out just as adorable! I varied the ink colors to each of the plaids, so that they coordinated and wasn't too overwhelmingly green or red on any one pattern.

The blue, green, red, and gold plaid is my favorite! I ended up making 63 cat and dog treat holders because that was how many chocolate kisses there were in one bag after I ate 4. They are delicious!

These chocolate kiss treat holders will be packaged into two boxes and delivered to my community members later this week. I love making and delivering treats to my loved ones and community members. It is a small way to show appreciation for them!

The Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper also has a green plaid pattern that would be amazing for St. Patrick's Day! You could add the "Have a lucky day" stamp from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set as an embellishment. How fun would that be?!

I hope you give these cuties a try! I would love to see how you decorate your cat and dog punch treat holders! Post a photo on my Facebook page today!
