Valentine Candy Card

Valentine's Day is right around the corner!  Here are some very quick and easy treat holders to make.  I made six of them easily yesterday for my nieces and nephews.  I found the idea on Angie Juda's website.  This one I made for the boys using Sahara Sand card stock for the base, "A Happy Heart" stamp set, Riding Hood Red 5/8" striped grosgrain ribbon, the Heart to Heart Punch and "Holidays and Wishes" for the Valentine greeting on the front.

Just start with a strip of card stock 8 1/2" x 4 1/4".  Score at 3" and 6 1/4".

Use your Slit Punch to punch a slit on each side of the middle part to hold a bag of candy.

Your layer or decoration on the front can be anything you want it to be, any size.  The ribbon keeps the candy holder closed.  You could even just stamp the front of it and not put an additional layer on the front.  This could also be used as a gift card holder.  So there you go, use it for more than one season or occasion.

And here is another version for the girls.

What would I have done with the "Love You Much" stamp set?  I loved it from the first moment I saw it at the Stampin' Up! San Antonio Regional.

Hope you will have fun making some easy candy holders for your Valentine!
