For both my card and tiny treat holders, I used the In Good Taste Suite!  This is such a  wonderful suite of products, and…the colors and textures are amazing! The products that I used from this suite are:

• Tasteful Touches Bundle – Item #154098 (Tasteful Touches Stamp Set + Tasteful Labels Dies)
• In Good Taste Designer Series Paper – Item #152494
• Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder – Item #152718
• In Good Taste Elements – Item #152476

Note:  For the little sentiments on the treat holders, I also used theField of Flowers Stamp Set (Item # 152589), which is another new set from the Stampin’ Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.)

I’ve also included complete instructions underneath each project, so you can scroll right to the project that suits your fancy and start creating!

Let’s start with my card…

I started with some Petal Pink Cardstock, embossed it with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, layered some Whisper White Cardstock underneath, and used a few Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to a Whisper White Thick Cardstock base.  I also added a large strip of In Good Taste DSP on top of that.

I then used one of the label dies (from the Tasteful Touches Bundle) to cut out another piece of In Good Taste DSP.  On the right end of the label, I punch a small, oval hole (using the Detailed Trio Punch). The branch (also from the Tasteful Touches Bundle) was heat-embossed, using my Versamark Pad and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I also used an Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker to add some speckling. (I created the speckling by “flicking” the thick end of the marker on the edge of the marker cap.) The sentiment (from the Tasteful Touches Bundle) was stamped in Early Espresso on the DSP, and then stamped again on Whisper White Cardstock.  I cut out the “are” and popped it up with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional, and popped up the entire label with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For an extra bit of texture, I added some Braided Linen Trim, Scalloped Lace Trim, and Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon (cut in half vertially)…and then added two of the wood branches (from the In Good Taste Elements). For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on a couple of the Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins and a Pearl Basic Jewel.

Next up are my tiny treat holders…

For these cute, little treat holders…I used  the longest, oblong “stitched” die (from the Tasteful Touches Bundle), along with small piece of In Good Taste DSP. After I cut it out, I scored it in the center, at approximately 2-1/4″ and 3-1/4″.  I then used the branch stamp (from the Tasteful Touches Bundle), and stamped it in Early Espresso on the front side of the treat holder.

The little Petal Pink tag was cut out with one of the dies from the Tasteful Touches Bundle, embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, and trimmed off just a bit on one end. The tiny sentiment (from the new Field of Flowers Stamp Set) was heat-embossed on a on a little piece of  In Good Taste DSP, using my Versmark Pad and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder…and popped up with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

I then punch a tiny hole at each end of the treat holder, and in the corner of the little tag.  I used a piece of Linen Thread to tie everything together, and used a Stampin’ Dimensional to keep the little tag in place.  I also added a wood leaf (from the In Good Taste Elements), Scalloped Lace Trim, and Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon (cut in half vertially.  For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on a Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequin and a Pearl Basic Jewel.
