Sour Cream Container


This sour cream container is a quick, easy way to create a cute little treat holder! It uses Designer Series Paper, and you can get 4 from a 12x12 sheet. The patterned paper is pretty, and saves you the step of decorating it. Here's what you need:


  • Lightweight paper, cut 4.25x5.50 inches.

  • Sticky strip

  • Decorative ribbon or greeting to place on the outside.

  • Stampin Dimensionals

Place a piece of Sticky Strip along one entire short side of the paper (on the reverse of the side you want to show). Place another piece of Sticky Strip halfway across a long side, meeting in the corner with the other piece. Finally, place a last piece of Sticky Strip on the opposite long side in the middle, covering about half of that side.


Remove the Sticky Strip's orange plastic liner on the short side and corner only (not the one by itself). Roll the paper into a tube and stick together. Seal one end of the tube by pushing the sticky strip side against the other side of the tube. Fill with treats. Peel the plastic liner from the remaining piece of Sticky Strip, and push to seal. Make sure you turn the tube a half-turn so that it's sealed in the opposite direction of the other end. Use the Crimper to crimp both ends of the tube to make it look "factory" produced. I embellished mine by stamping on Whisper White cardstock and punching it out with the 1 1/4 circle punch. I punched another layer of cardstock using the 1 3/8 circle punch, and another using the Scallop circle punch. Sandwich these together, and adhere to the container using Stampin Dimensionals. I also attached a single-knotted piece of ribbon with a Stampin Dimensional.


This is a quick, easy treat container to create, and oh so cute! You can use any patterned paper, and any color to match the season or person receiving the gift.
