Candy Cane Season Peppermint Candy Holders

I made these fun and easy candy holders using the Candy Cane Season Bundle, which is retiring.  I gave them to my Club Members who came to Club Class in December as an extra treat.  These would be great to put together in a hurry if you need small party favors or little treats to hand out.

Uses Candy Cane Season Photopolymer Stamp Set plus Whisper White Cardstock, Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad, Real Red Cardstock, Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon, Clear Block B, Clear Block D, Clear Block H, Grid Paper, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Paper Snips, Stampin' Trimmer, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Candy Cane Builder Punch, SNAIL Adhesive, and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here is a link to the directions for the Candy Cane Season Peppermint Candy Holders.

The Candy Cane Season Photopolymer Bundle, Candy Cane Season Photopolymer Stamp Set, and Candy Cane Builder Punch are retiring and are only available while supplies last or until January 2, 2019 whichever comes first.
