Sweet & Simple Treat pouch with free project sheet & video

February 16, 2026

I shared this neat treat pouch on last week’s Live video. It’s super simple and requires a 6″ X 12″ sheet of designer paper.

I made one before and one during the video. The left pouch above features the Made with Love designer paper. The right one uses the Lovely & Beautiful specialty designer series paper.

What I like about this is there’s no special measuring; just score on the lines on the template in the project sheet seen below. The belly band makes closure easy and you can decorate the front in any way you’d like. It’s 1 1/4″ X 10 1/2″. Watch the video to see how I form it around the pouch. There’s no need to score it; just bend at the folds leaving a bit of room for sliding it off.

I used the 1 3/4″ circle punch and the To the Point punch. The greetings are from the Words of Beauty bundle seen here. The little heart punch is retired.

I created a free project sheet with template for you. Click here to download it or print it.

You can watch the short video below.

Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!

February 25, 2021

Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper. It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!

Playing with strips has always been fun for me. On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long. Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.

I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between. I didn't worry about the edges at all. After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.

Save

Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper. I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter.

Save

The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.

Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.
