Mini File Folder Valentine Treat with Envelope Maker

This mini file folder treat holder is the perfect Valentine surprise.  It's quick and easy to make with the perfect handmade touch that says you care! 
 






Cut a 3 x 5 inch rectangle out of two sided card stock or designer paper.  Score the long side at 2 1/4 and 2 1/2 inches.  Make the file folder tab on the longest half by using the envelope maker.  Simply notch the top left, flip the rectangle and notch at 1".                                      Then cut the small section off
between the notch and the right side of the folder top.  (see pictures).      Cord or baker's twine was wrapped around the front cover 3 times and tied with a bow. The heart was cut from embossed card stock to give it a little extra umph.   It was attached with Stampin' Dimensionals just above the twine wrap.  A small heart from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack was glued to the top and adorned with a pearl.  The sentiment came from the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set and was printed with Real Red Ink and attached with dimensionals.  

A Ghiradelli chocolate square fits perfectly inside.  I used tape runner to attach it and a tiny glue dot to keep the folder closed.   I'm making these for a ladies luncheon tomorrow and can't wait to see their reaction.
