Have a Cuppa Treat Holder



These are all of the table treats and the goody bag that each person received at the One Day Retreat last month....

I have so much fun spoiling the gals that come to this retreat!




And here's a closer look at the Have a Cuppa Treat Holder that each person received....



This fun treat starts with a 6x6" piece of Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper (DSP) (one of the items in their Goody Bag).  This cute DSP Stack is retiring on May 31.

Roll the paper up like a toilet paper roll (sorry, I couldn't think of anything else - and it gives the best visual!).  Apply Fast Fuse adhesive along the one rolled side and one of the ends of the paper.  Adhere the rolled side first, then the one end.  Keep the other end open so that you can fill with your favorite treat.

Have A Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack  140567  $8.00 (retiring)




Fast Fuse Adhesive  127026  $10.00



Next, stamp "You are totally awesome" (from the Grateful Bunch Stamp Set) in Bermuda Bay ink and punch the end of the tag with the Banner Triple Punch.  Punch the end of another 2" wide piece of Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper with the Banner Triple Punch and add it behind the sentiment.

Close the end of the treat with a Bow Paper Clip and tie a Bermuda Bay 1/8" Stitched Ribbon bow around the treat.  Both of these items were also included in each person's Goody Bag - I love to show how each of the items in the Goody Bag can be used!





Grateful Bunch Photopolymer Stamp Set  140691  $21.00




Banner Triple Punch  138292  $23.00




Bow Paper Clips  140559  $5.50




Bermuda Bay 1/8" Stitched Ribbon  140569  $8.00






I hope you enjoyed these treats!!


Curious about the other cute table treat you see in the picture below??



You can learn all about the Have a Cuppa Tea Pouch here!

And.....

 Don't forget to check out the retiring lists here....  before your favorite items are gone forever!




Stampin' Up is guaranteeing stamp sets will be available until May 22; all other items are only available while supplies last.
I hope you were Inkspired today!!
