Prima 25 and Peppermint Christmas Treat Pouches

Hi Everyone!

Today I thought I would share this fun little project where you can use any paper collection and embellishments to create a really lovely little Christmas gift. I used Prima's 25 and Peppermint collection and filled my little pouches with a chocolate bar, crispy rolls, a hot chocolate sachet and a small decorative spoon. I then tucked in a little gift tag and you could even add a gift card.

I have created an easy tutorial on my YouTube channel


Hope you enjoy it! I was inspired by @stampingwithnellie - check out her channel too for inspiration.
