Wow…it is still a lot of snow but we are getting through it! Tractor died…YIKES – my washer machine is SICK.…but life is good and I hope that we will make out out today! Darn, I hope so -Yesterday, John worked from the house and if he is happy…I am happy (after all it is tax season)
Click on the below video and you will see how Party Poppers ARE like Potato Chips…..once you have one…you simply cannot stop! They are FUN….they are EASY.…they are ADDICTIVE and you an fill them with a multitude of goodies – think out of the box – true it can be sweets, but it can also be inspiration quotes or even a message of affirmation to the specific recipient!
I hope that you are able to find some “me time” and make some of these fun and festive poppers. I know that you will smile. The FUN thing about this is…THINK OUT OF THE BOX – I am sharing with you ideas that are also non-traditional with a typical Valentines color/stamp theme!
Here is a quick scoop for you to reference!
- The size of the paper is 4 1/2″ x 6″ (this is why the paper stacks are great)
- On the 4 1/2″ side, score at 1″, 2″, 3″ and 4″ – use the bone folder to give a good score.
- Starting with the 1/2″ side folded down, put in the envelope punch board and at the 1″ line…punch. FLIP the entire piece over nd again, at the 1″ line…punch.
- Fold down to the next score line and do the same….1″ Press….FLIP 1″ Press…..continuing to do this the whole way.
- To adhere, I use the Fast Fuse along the 1/2″ piece, a glue dot on each end, FOLD to adhere – DONE!
Please watch the video to see the entire process if you are confused or also feel free to email me and I will be glad to help you!
For the belly band:
- The paper size is 2 1/2″ X 4 3/4″
- Using the Stampin’ Trimmer and the scoring tool, take this piece and score a teeny tiny larger than 1″…so this 4 more times….(I like to use the right hand side of the trimmer as I think it is easier to see)
- If you want to stamp something….do it now and also stitch or add dots….(just try it – it is FUN)
- Place adhesive on the end, fold over and SMILE! 😉
I hope that you have fun making these and I hope that you agree…..it IS like potato chips….you will need to have more than one! These sweet 3-D treats are always a hit and I know that you are going to have fun making them!

In the video you said you would have all the dimensions on your blog, but I don’t see them. I think I can remember details if I get to make them today – but brain cells die fast! (LOL)
Loved the video. Did the dimensions for cutting and scoring pop off my screen? I didn’t see them on this post or yesterday. I have the products you used on the screen. Just curious that I am missing something. These are just too cute and I think I will need to make them. Quick question, what in the world does MEH stand for in the stamp set with the PP? I have resisted so many times that darn envelope punch maker thing but I really think it would be useful and so fast to use on these darn things. I am sure I couldn’t stop at just one! Looking forward to the video next week on using those strips of paper! By, the way, I jumped up twice to answer the phone during the video. What’s that old saying about you can fool me once but twice?
Your video was great. I, too, am curious as to what MEH stands for. I’m going to make “poppers.” Have a great week.
Really cute idea! I may have to make these for my Seniors. Thanks for the inspiration, Susan.
Great video! Can’t wait to use up my scraps to make these. I hate throwing away paper even the tiniest pieces so I will make a ton for coworkers. Thanks!
Always enjoy your videos. You do a great job. So glad Chris R and Helen asked about MEH. That one has me stumped too. Sorry about your washer.
Love these poppers. Have made them a lot and they ARE addictive. Great video too! Thanks for the reminder of making these cute little boxes!
Love love love your video, thanks so much for sharing so easy. Hope your dug out by now.
I’ve never made poppers but you make it look fun and easy! Good job! Thanks for sharing.
