I used Stampin' Up!'s Stacked With Love DSP and filled it with a little love (aka...chocolate) for those sweethearts in my life. This was a quick and easy little project and it required no adhesive....that's right no adhesive! Here's how I did it....
The DSP stack is 6-1/2" by 4-1/2". I cut 1/2" off the short side making DSP be 6-1/2" x 4". I scored the short side at 1", flipped it over and scored it at 1" again. On the long side I scored it at 3", flipped it over and score it at 3" again. I creased all the scored lines and then from the half inch lines, I made a mark on the outside of the DSP 1" from the crease on all four sides. Using my ruler, I made a diagonal score line from the intersection of the previous score lines to the 1" mark. Once this was done I folded and creased those score lines creating the sides of the treat holder.
Folding the piece along the original 1" score lines, with the folded pieces on the bottom, I punched both ends using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. After punched, flip the piece over and bring the scalloped ends together and you'll find you have the perfect holder for an individual wrapped piece of Ghirardelli chocolate!
I used 4" of Real Red Ribbon and 6" of Crisp Cantaloupe Baker's Twin to tie the little treat holder together.
Here are some pictures showing exactly how I made this little treat holder...

All score lines have been creased and I'm ready to use the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.
I find that having the folded side towards the bottom is easier and less likely to get caught after punching.
The treat holder is ready to be filled.

This is how I decorated my treats.
Here are more treat holders using last year's paper and the Hey Valentine stamp set.
