Ghirardelli Treat Holder – A Sweet Paper Pumpkin Project

 🎁 Ghirardelli Treat Holder – A Sweet Paper Pumpkin Project

I had so much fun creating sweet little Ghirardelli Treat Holders as gifts for my Card Making Class attendees. For this version, I used a sentiment stamp from the July Paper Pumpkin Kit – Sweeter With You. The "You're the sweetest" message was a perfect match for my strawberry-themed design!

I happened to have a piece of designer series paper in my stash with strawberries on it that was exactly the right size—don't you love when that happens? 🍓

The Circle of Season Add-On Die Set, available for purchase if you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, was the perfect companion. I used:

• The circle die for the sentiment, stamped in Real Red Ink.

• The strawberry die and the little blossoms for fun, summery accents.

• I finished the flowers with Yellow gems from the Glossy Dots Assortment—so cheerful!

• A bit of leftover ribbon from my stash brought everything together.

These treat holders are so versatile—perfect for any season, any reason! You can swap out paper, colors, and sentiments for birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, or just-because gifts.
