A Festive Treat Holder You’ll Love to Make

Today I’m sharing these super cute Christmas Candy Cane Pouches — a quick and cheerful project that’s perfect for the festive season. These pouches are ideal for stocking fillers, table favours, teacher gifts, or a little something extra to pop into a neighbour’s letterbox. They look gorgeous, yet they come together in minutes, making them excellent for batch-making.

Three Designs, Endless Possibilities

I created three variations to show how easily you can switch up the look simply by changing the cardstock and paper:

Real Red + Traditions of Christmas DSP – A bright and classic Christmas design with traditional poinsettias and rich festive tones.
Garden Green + Christmas Tags & More DSP – A fun and playful version with candy canes and cheerful patterns.
Real Red + North Pole Delivery DSP – A nostalgic, postage-themed design that feels wonderfully whimsical and perfect for gifting.

Each pouch is decorated using a selection of die-cuts from the Christmas Tags & More DSP, along with coordinating Greetings for You cardstock stickers. These elements make decorating quick, easy, and beautifully cohesive.

Simple to Make, Fun to Gift

These pouches hold two candy canes comfortably and can be adapted to suit almost any occasion. You could easily swap the treats for chocolate sticks, mini gifts, pencils, or even a wrapped biscuit. They’re the perfect project if you enjoy creating small, yet meaningful, handmade gifts.

You’ll find that the construction is wonderfully straightforward. All you need is cardstock, your chosen DSP, adhesive, and a few embellishments. I’ll add a full supply list and measurements at the end of this post so you can recreate them exactly.

Video Tutorial Coming Soon

A full step-by-step video tutorial will be included below showing you how to assemble the pouch from start to finish. It’s an ideal project for both beginner and experienced crafters, and a great one to make with children, too.

Real Red / Garden Green Cardstock – 5 1/2″ X 6″, Scored at 2 1/” and 5″ on the 5 1/2″ side and 1″ on the 6″ side.

Stocking Stuffer – How to Make a Candy Cane Pouch.

Stocking Stuffer – How to Make a Candy Cane Pouch – Decorative Trees – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love to make little candy cane holders or pouches. I make them every year. Here is my offering this year. They are easy to make and hold one candy cane, though they could hold more.

They are great for using up scrap pieces of patterned paper which we all have. The snowflakes are the One of a Kind dies and I cut them from the Festive Glimmer Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Measurements

A Little Bit Festive DSP – 4″ X 4″ scored at 1/2″ on one side and 1 3/4″ & 3 1/2″ on the other side.

Candy Canes – How to Heat Emboss a Background

Candy Canes – How to Heat Emboss a Background – Christmas to Remember – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Gosh, I’m so pleased with how this turned out. I wanted to make this card ever since I first saw the Candy Canes stamp set in the catalogue. The contrast between the white heat embossing and the red background is so striking.

Heat embossing is very easy to do but always feels like magic to me. This dull powder becomes glossy and beautiful as it melts under the heat tool. To make this card I used a larger panel than I needed of real red so that I could cut it down to get or of any imperfections around the edges. Please do watch the video and try it yourself. Enjoy the magic!!!

Who Doesn’t Love Candy Canes – Card Share

Who Doesn’t Love Candy Canes – Card Share – Sweetest Time – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is another card we did in Card Club. Card Club is held in my Facebook Group once a month. You can find all the details here. As I’m not allowed, as per Stampin’ Up! rules to included stamped images as part of the kit, these cards are based more on die cuts than stamps.

The dies I’ve used here are the Sweetest Border dies. It cuts these lovely border images. I’ve done a second companion card using another die from the same set. It should be up in a few days time. The real red against the whisper white makes everything pop and the rhinestones just add that lovely touch of bling.

Candy Cane Pouches – Stampin’ Up!

I make Candy Cane pouches every year. Normally, I use the envelope punch board but now it has retired. I really want it back!! This one is made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and label punches. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Wrapped in Plaid is one my favourite Christmas Designer Series Paper from this current catalogue. It is so elegant with the foiled elements on one side. In previous years, I’ve made this as gifts for my neighbours in lieu of baking biscuits. The funny thing is that although I’ve tons of these I don’t actually ever eat candy canes. I’m a Type 1 diabetic and actually chose to only eat sweets when my blood sugar falls low and I need to bring it up quickly.

measurements

Wrapped in Plaid 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper – (DSP) Scored at
- 1 5/8″ on either side on one side
- Turn paper by 90 degrees and score at 1″

You can hang these pouches from your tree by punching a hole in the top and threading some coordinating ribbon or twine through.

Other projects

I love making decorations or gifts for people. It means so much more when you have taken the time to make something rather than just buying a generic thing in a shop. I enjoy the process as well as as the giving of a handmade gift.

The video tutorial and supply are below. Thank you for dropping by and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!
