Christmas Treat Bags using 6" x 6" Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up!

Thursday, 22 December 2016 Somerset, UK



Time has gone by so quickly and unfortunately I never got a chance to make any handmade Christmas cards this year. It's such as shame as I had so much lovely product to use. Thankfully I managed to quickly whip up 21 of these ever so cute gift bags for my team and my colleagues at work. They are really quick to cut and build - but they take a little longer to embellish. 

They contain a few chocolate Celebrations. We've already gone through quite a few boxes of Celebrations and other treats in the office so these gifts were more a token of my appreciation for all the team's hard work this year. I hope they liked receiving them!


I'm actually quite proud of these little treat bags, they are my first original design!! Its more than likely someone, somewhere in the world would have also made this shape bag but I certainly haven't seen them before.

The collage below shows the shape of the bag a little better. It's super simple to make and if anyone is interested, please make sure you leave a comment asking me to publish the instructions. If I get a good response, it might just tempt me to do my first YouTube video.

EDIT - Here is my tutorial (I'm using different DSP) where I show you how I made these treat bags!




Finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I would also like to say thank you to all my followers and subscribers across all channels for following and supporting me for the past two and a half years. I am so pleased you found something, either on my blog or my social media pages - that you liked enough for you to subscribe or follow me - thank you!

Have a great time this Christmas everyone and stay safe x

p.s my broadband is only just up and running again so hopefully I'll be back to blogging regularly again the the New Year. Currently I have a speed of 3.5 mb, so wish me luck!

    1. Well I must admit, the tag is all Stampin' Up! - they make us crafters look really good. I really struggle to come up with original ideas and sometimes that why my blog posts aren't that regular, so your comments are very welcome at a time I am trying to get my mojo back x

    1. I am going to work on a few different looks for different themes, hopefully will inspire you to make some before next Christmas. I made them for my office too and a lot of people re-used them to gift something small to their friends and family - multipurpose at its best

  23. Just found this treat holder (6 years after you posted). This is a great project for my Christmas cards & treat holders class in November! It does look reasonably easy and it uses 6x6 papers - great way to use up leftovers. Thanks!
