I made a cute and easy candy holder today, using fresh product that will be available in the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog. The Designer Series Paper pack (DSP) that I am featuring, called Floral Impressions, is full of beautiful florals that use several of the upcoming new In Colors, including one called Secret Sea that I feature in today’s project. It’s a super dark color: kind-of navy, kind-of black. I can’t really decide what it is, but it’s beautiful!
This candy holder is so easy and fast to make, that it’s a perfect one to whip out in large quantities. If you need a cute gift for bridal shower guests, teacher appreciation, Christmas goodies for co-workers, etc., it is perfect. PLEASE CLICK HERE to watch the video where I made this project, so you can see exactly how it all comes together.

I started out with one of our Medium Clear Envelopes. This is PERFECT, because it’s your candy bag plus has adhesive to glue it closed! Inside, I slipped a piece of Secret Sea cardstock, measuring 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″. Layered on top of that is one of the beautiful prints in the Floral Impressions DSP pack, and this piece measures 4″ x 4″.
The “lid” for this project is easy, as well. The Secret Sea cardstock measures 3-1/2″ x 5″, folded in half at 1-3/4″. Layered onto the front is another little piece of DSP, measuring 4-3/4″ x 1-1/2″. I die cut one of the banners from the Stylish Shapes dies from Basic White cardstock, and stamped the sentiment from the new Impressions Abloom stamp set using Fresh Freesia ink. After adhering this “lid” to the closed envelope using Stampin’ Seal, I centered the sentiment banner onto the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I finished off the candy holder by hand cutting out a couple of flowers directly from the DSP, and adhering them onto the sentiment banner using more Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a few of the new In Color Low Profile Dots, which are amazing! I used the matching Secret Sea color, and I can’t believe how flat these are. They are PERFECT for mailing!

I hope you love this project and give it a try! It’s so easy and so cute!
