February Challenge

... & we're using Pink Petticoat papers to make these little Gift Pouches. They're called Sour Cream Containers in the US & they are the simplest things to make.

You can make 4 from a single sheet of A4 card and with Valentine's Day, Mother's Day & Easter during the next couple of months, I thought they'd be fun to do.

If you haven't made them before, I've put a little tutorial together at the end of the post.


And the prize this month is this pretty little Cake Stand with some pretty little ribbons : )

If you'd like to join in, please add a link to your creations in comments below. Or attach an image to an email and send it to me at liz@pinkpetticoat.co.uk if you don't have a blog or web site to link to.

And I'll select a random winner at the end of February : )




Sour Cream Containers
You will need:
A4 card printed with your favourite paper design
(print on both sides if you'd like a colour or pattern on the inside too)
Double-sided Tape
Something to decorate it


1. Print your A4 card and cut it into 4 equal pieces. Apply your DST to 3 sides as shown.
2. Stick the two shortest sides firmly together, taking care not to create a crease or a fold in your piece of card.
3. Press the shorter edges together at one end & pop your goodies inside.
4. Then press the edges together at the opposite end, in the opposite direction to seal.


And that's it! Your little gift pouch is finished & ready to decorate.

Lovely aren't they?
