Chari used stamps and dies from Lawn to make treat bags decorated with adorable die cut gum ball machines filled with different stamped candies to hold her Valentine’s Day treats in. She also added a cute little tag tied on to the monochromatic bags. See more at the Lawn Fawn Instagram page.
Forget the flowers on Valentine’s Day I’m just here for the candy! 🙂 If you love passing out candy or homemade treats for Valentine’s Day you might want to also make your own bags and boxes to put them in. Your card making, scrapbooking and paper crafting supplies can also be used to design treat holders in lots of different shapes, sizes and styles. Today let’s take a look at some Valentine Treat Bags and Boxes to get you inspired to design your own.
Patty decorated premade boxes with pattern papers and floral and heart dies for a pair of sweet treat box ideas. I love how she used an ice cream cone die for the paper wrapped around the flower bouquet, very clever! Learn more at the Patty Stamps blog.
Deb used a die cut handle for the topper on her treat bags. This one has an amazing shaker element with a glitter frame filled with shimmery hearts, the handle is tied with ribbon and check out that darling die cut bear peeking over the top! Find more details at the Deb Valder blog.
Using just heart shaped dies or large punches you can design a sweet swine for a fun piggie Valentine’s Day bag. Cut from pink and red cardstock, add some eyes and adhere to a simple brown bag for a fun treat holder. I spotted this idea on the Fresh Cut Crafts Instagram page.
Sam used dies from Craft Stash to create another style of candy machine, this one with a heart shape and lots of gold paper elements. She’s sharing a video tutorial on how to make one over on her Mixed Up Craft blog.
This stunning candy box from Connie hold chocolate nuggets in a handmade box and she’s even created a pretty coordinating card to go with it! The box has lots of gold papers and die cut heart elements, there’s a flap with room to write a sentiment and a ‘belly” band to keep it closed. Watch her video tutorial and download the FREE box template at the Simply Simple Stamping blog.
Card boxes have been popular for a while now, they fold flat for mailing and have layers of dimension. I thought “Why not add a cardstock bottom and turn it into a treat box?” so here’s a lovely example using dies for a big gift box full of flowers, simple add a bottom and fill with candy. This one is available from Lori Whitlock.
Hannah used dies to create this gorgeous box of chocolate dipped strawberries. The box lid has a clear acetate opening to see through to the strawberry panel below. Under that panel she added tissue and placed the actual candy underneath. I came across her idea on the KSCraft Hannah Instagram page.
Cathy created a bag with an opening and a die cut heart around the edges and the most adorable topper to go on top. It’s stamped with a scene of a Panda driving a cute pink truck filled with hearts. There’s also heart balloons floating off the top and a heat embossed sentiment on the handle too. Find all the details at the Sunny Studio blog.
Look, it’s a fox on a box! This darling box from Wanda uses dies from Pretty Pink Posh for the pink box, doily and fox holding a heart and a sweet sentiment. The dies actually cut the hands of the fox so they can hold anything you’d like. Learn more at A Blog Called Wanda.
Nichol used stamps and dies from Simon Says to make a trio of sweet treat boxes. On the box bases she added stamping and stenciling, tied ribbon around and then added lots of pretty stamped and die cut elements popped up. Watch her video tutorial at the Simon Says Stamp blog.
These mini matchbooks from Tina hold a cholate square instead of matches. She’s got step by step directions for making this simple but sweet treat holder made with cardstock and pattern papers over on the Creative Memories blog.
I hope you have a super sweet Valentine’s Day filled with lots of love and of course candy!
