Christmas in July Craft Along Day 3: Treat Pouch + Fun Fold Card

Welcome to Day 3 of my Christmas in July Craft Along! We’re halfway through the week, and today’s projects are all about adding a little something extra to your holiday crafting. One project is perfect for gift giving, while the other features a fun fold that’s sure to impress family and friends.

The first project is a beautiful treat pouch. The box itself is Secret Sea cardstock tucked inside a coordinating wrap featuring soft Barely Blush Gingham Designer Series Paper. The layered poinsettia is die cut from the gorgeous Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper, giving the petals subtle shimmer that catches the light beautifully. The Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon finishes the project with an elegant holiday touch.

The second project is a festive fun fold Christmas card featuring the Festive Cheer bundle. The Barely Blush card base opens with a front flap that reveals the inside of the card, making it a little more interactive than a standard fold. The embossed candy cane background created with the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folder adds wonderful texture, while the bright red A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper gives the card a cheerful Christmas feel.
