Happiness Blooms Double Pocket Pouches

The delightful patterns and colors of the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper were the perfect choice for making these little treat holders for my Too Cool Team event! I love this style of treat holder to use as table favors for family gatherings, birthdays, bridal showers, wedding receptions, baby showers, graduation parties and more! I featured this project on last week's Facebook LIVE and you can catch the replay at the bottom of this post!

How To Make The Double Pocket Pouch

Start with an 8" x 8" piece of double-sided Designer Series Paper. I used Happiness Blooms DSP.
Fold in half diagonally and crease well with a Bone Folder.
Line the folded side up on the vertical edge of a Simply Scored tool and score down the 1" mark.

Align the folded edge along the top edge of the Simply Scored tool, then score at the 3-3/4" mark.
Flip the piece side-to-side and score the other side on the 3-3/4" mark.

Open up the piece, then fold in the points at the two score lines you just scored, so they overlap in the middle.

Fold up the piece and meet the corners. Give it a good crease with a Bone Folder.
Turn the piece over, then fold up each side on the 1" fold on each side. Crease well.
No adhesives needed—woohoo!

The pouch should have a mountain fold in the middle so it's free-standing. Hold the top corners together and punch a hole with an 1/8" hole punch. Thread some 3/8" Calpyso Coral Satin Ribbon through the hole, tie into a double-knot and trim the ends. This one shows a little 3" x 2" message card that you can slip into the pocket.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped a Night of Navy sentiment from the Hello Cupcake Sale-a-Bration stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock. It's punched out with a brand new punch called the Story Label Punch that will be available for a limited time coming in March! It's layered onto a Call Me Clover Layering Ovals Framelits die-cut with Dimensionals, then mounted onto the pouch with a couple more Dimensionals.

Treat Décor—I punched out a tiny Lovely Lipstick flower using the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack, attaching it with a Glue Dot. Then, I finished up by adding Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots on the flower and around the sentiment. So cute!

Two Cool—I love our DSP for projects like this because you have so many fun, coordinating, double-sided paper combinations from which to choose!

Four Cool—You can get different looks depending on which patterns you choose to put on the inside and the outside. I created some with each side showing and it looked amazing at all of the placing settings at our team event.

Six Cool—Which combination of Happiness Blooms DSP do you like best for these pouches?

For Chocolate—Ghirardelli chocolates fit perfectly inside the pouch pockets…you can fit one in each side!

For Gift Cards—It's also the perfect size for gift cards, too! Maybe a chocolate on one side and a gift card on the other?! How cute! I'm definitely making some for upcoming graduation parties!
