Valentine Candy Holders



These are the candy holders that I've been telling you that I'd post---I'm finally getting to them.

These are the ones that we made at one of my parties with the cute little saying: All you need in life is a friend who has chocolate..........I'm that friend. We used Ghirardelli chocolates and held them in with a dimensional. When the kids made them, instead of the saying, they put “To” and “From” on the white circle. The kids put Valentine chocolates in them. They're very cute both ways. And of course, we all love the bling from the Red Glimmer paper.

They are cut using the Big Shot and the 2-tag die. I used both 8 ½ x 11 card stock and 12x12 card stock. I first scored the card stock in half and then cut it. For the smaller card stock, I cut them about 2 3/4” wide getting three across. For the 12 x 12 card stock, I cut them 3” wide and got four across. Then I ran them through the Big Shot putting the fold inside the cut line of the larger tag on the 2-tag die.


The decorative paper on the two outside holders is from the Brights Patterns Pack (p. 175 of the current catalog) and the decorative paper on the middle one is from Love Impressions paper (p. 7 in the mini catalog).



We'll do a similar candy holder at stamp camp with an Easter bunny on it.



Aren't they cute?
