Pouches

While searching for new project ideas, I came across this adorable little pouch from Dawn Olchefske and knew I just had to make it!  Well, I started by making the Christmas pouch and added a hot cocoa packet as well as a tube of mints to the side (found those mints at Wal-Mart of all places!).    Be watching for a video on this little pouch!  They're so much fun to make!!


Then I got to thinking that this would be perfect for little Halloween treats so I made a Halloween version.   Inside is a packet of Apple Cider and I've added a couple Pixy Sticks to the side.  I used the Monster Munchies stamp set on the front - it was the perfect sentiment for this pouch - along with the Howlstooth and Scaringbone Designer Paper.

Then, I had some fall leaves left over from cards I had made and thought a Fall pouch would also be cute!  I added a package of Apple Cider inside and decided not to attach anything on the side so I just made a bow.  What would you attach to the side of a fall pouch?  Any suggestions?



My next pouch will be one with a little notepad inside and a pen tied to the side.  Wouldn't that make a cute little gift??

Well, I'm off to make more pouches!  Who know's what style I'll come up with next!

Happy stamping and creating!

  1. Ohhh, these are to cute - I love little gifties! With the fall leaves one, you could tie some cinnamon sticks onto it. I like the idea of the notepad and pen, too. I'm going to have to make some of these!

  3. Hurry up with that video, Christi! LOL - I went to the link you provided but can't find the directions for the pouch because there is so much on this demonstrator's website!

    1. I honestly went to her website too to find the tutorial again and for the life of me couldn't find it! But, I did want to give her credit so I just linked to her blog.
