The other day I ended up making around 70 of these fun little treat bags. In a prior post, I had started this project, by stamping the "VERY MERRY Christmas" from the Stampin' Up set "It's a Wrap Holidays". I only got about 60 candies stamped and wrapped before running out of candy. The project was put on hold for over a week, until I could make a Costco run and get the huge bag of Hershey's Nuggets.
Once I had more "nuggets", I began stamping and wrapped a ton more! To make the use of "It's a Wrap Holidays" easier, I stamped onto address labels and then peeled to stick to each candy. After finishing the candies, I worked at getting four into each of the small Stampin' Up treat bags, and then worked on stamping "Joy at Christmas" from the SU set "Perfect Punches". I also punched a background for each stamped image. I used the 1 3/4" and 2" scallop circle punches.
For the wrap across the tops, I cut a 3" by 6" strip of cardstock, punched the bottom of each with Martha Stewart's snowflake border punch, then folded in half and stapled once in the center. I made sure to staple backwards so that I could "hide" the staple edges with the scallop medallions I had made. I love how these turned out! For colors, I used several greens and reds (both SU and other brands). ~Hoppy crafting!!!
