Today I'm trying to "think Spring." The birds are slowly making their way back to the area, so I thought this pretty treat holder using Laura Macy's "Love Birds" was a good way to hurry the season along (especially when the treat is a packet of hot chocolate to warm up my insides).
I cut a piece of cardstock 8.5x5.75" and scored and folded at 2-1/2" and 6-1/2". I popped my colored image onto a piece of patterned paper after punching the corners. I did a little distressing with my blender tool and some distress ink. I added lace on the top and bottom and placed it on the center part of my folded cardstock.'Then I adhered the back flaps together and punched a hole at the top through it all.
If you thread a piece of lace from the front to the back, you can then add a treat, like a pack of gum, a candy bar, or a packet of hot cocoa on top of the ribbon inside the card. Push it down until it meets the bottom edge of the card, then tie it at the top.
When you pull on the bow at the top, the treat comes up out of its card:
So my treat card with the Love Birds stamped image (as well as the hot cocoa) will warm someone special this week as temps are supposed to drop to below zero yet again!!

Very pretty Pat! I love the lace you used as a border at the top and bottom. Your coloring on the birds is phenomenal, and I love the soft sponging you did around them too!
