Today, I have a 6×6 treat pouch and a Zig-Zag fun fold for you featuring products from the Lily Pond Lane Suite! I’ve demystified cutting the angles on this fun fold card and the treat pouch is another great project using a 6×6 piece of patterned paper!

The Lily Pond Lane Suite of products are so fun to work with – bright & cheerful too! I had so much fun designing these projects!
6×6 Treat Pouch
This treat pouch was so fun to design! There are no vertical score lines (except for 1 in the back), so the edges have a softer look. The pouch closes with a tab & Velcro Dot in the back.
And after lifting the tab, you simply pinch the pouch to open.
And here’s another look at how the pouch opens:
I see many of these pouches in my future! They’re a great way to give someone a gift or a treat – while using your beautiful patterned papers!
Here’s the template for reference (not to scale):
PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:
- Finished Size – 4″H x 2-3/4″W x 1″D
- Designer Series Paper – 6″ x 6″
- With pattern running left-to-right, score at 1″ and 5″
- Rotate clockwise and score down to first score line at 2-1/4″ and 5″, then score
all the way down at 5-1/2″ - Rotate 180° and score down to first score line at 1-1/2″, 3-1/4″, and 4-1/4″
Zig-Zag Fun Fold Card
This Zig-Zag Fun Fold card is a great way to showcase multiples patterns of coordinating paper! I know the angles of this fun fold can be intimidating, so I’ve tried to make it easy to cut them using your Paper Trimmer!
Here’s what the Zig-Zag Fun Fold looks like when open:
You can create 2 from 1 sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock! TIP: You need to cut the cardstock BEFORE scoring, as the scoring won’t line up properly if you score before cutting.
Here’s the card layout for reference:
PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:
- Cardstock – 8-1/2″ x 11″
- Along the 8-1/2″ side, add a tick mark at 3″; Rotate 180° and repeat
- Cut diagonally from tick mark to tick mark to create 2 card bases
- Score at 3″ from short side and 4-1/4″ from tall side
- Designer Series Paper:
- 5-1/4″ x 4″ (portrait)
- 4-1/4″ x 3-1/2″ (portrait)
- 3-7/16″ x 2-3/4″ (portrait)
- Basic White (optional inside panel) – 4-1/4″ x 3-1/2″

Hi Julie
you are wonderful how you come up with these projects every week and explain so simply how it,s
done and they work. love your smiley face and the video,s Thanks again .
I always enjoy your videos. They are very concise and easy to follow. I do have to convert things a bit because I don’t have a scoreboard just a paper trimmer. I really like that you have a card and a 3d project. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas
Great projects. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for another wonderful, versatile, project ,clear instructions and template.
Hi Julie, Thank you for allowing me subscribe to your website.
I live in Australia, so unfortunately I will not be able to support your business. I have enjoyed your Youtubes for such a long time, loving your cards and matching boxes.
Many Thanks again,
Regards, Kim
Absolutely love your creations. I’ll be making a few myself. Thank you so much.
Love the card and pouch! I love it when a project can be made from a 6×6 piece of DSP, making 4 treats from a 12×12! I make many of your treat containers for my grandkids classrooms and for RAK’s one of my favorites is the Mentos triangle box!
These are such fun ideas Thanks Julie
I really appreciated your directions for the zigzag card. Made more sense than when I tried attempted the card following someone else’s instructions. Thanks
Julie,
You come up with some of the cutest ideas and the way you show us and explain how to do them, it makes things easy for us. Thank you so much for that. I know, most of your creations are for small treats. I’d like to say I’d love some bigger ideas. I made several of the impossible boxes a couple of Christmases ago and would like some larger ideas like that again. Do you have any plans to make some larger creations? If not, do you think you could entertain that idea? Thanks. Bobbie Rosenberger
Hi Bobbie! Thank you so much for your feedback. You are welcome to resize any of my projects to fit your needs!
Thank you Julie for sharing your talent with us. You inspire me.
Thanks Julie, I became a hobby demonstrator 2 months ago. Still
Learning the ropes. I always enjoy watching Wednesday nights
Julie, I love these projects, especially the adorable duck fun-fold card. Thanks for the tips and measurements. I feel a CASE coming on soon. Sorry to hear about your dad. My schedule lately has been crazy and I have not been following everyone’s blog. Enjoy your day!
Love all your ideas and the way you tell step by step how to make the project. Keepem commin.

These projects are outstanding. I will be making them both today. The DSP is so appealing in this project. Again Julie, you have outdone yourself with these projects. Thank you for your creativity and for sharing with all of us!

Another treat bag! I use all your ideas for the treats I give my Class participants, monthly.
Always give out a special treat to let them know they are appreciated.
Blessings to you for your sharing of your talent!
Do you still have a library of all your treat holders?
I’d like to have a place to reference your treat holders!
Thank you in advance!
Hi Cheryl! I haven’t changed anything, so I’m not sure what library you are referring to, but you can view my project gallery any time! https://thepaperpixie.com/gallery I do have a lot of catchup to do on my blog – it’s missing about 50 projects since losing my Dad, so I appreciate your patience.
A wonderful card and treat bag, thank you for the directions.
Have a blessed week!
LOve the 6×6 treat pouch. going to make one today for a gift card treat! May get the Z fold done, too. Love the Lily Pond. It’s fun making cards with this suite.
As always, the card and the fun fold design is great. The treat pouch is adorable and looks to be a generous size. I’ll be making both of these projects today to keep out of the heat! My desk is lined up with all the treat projects from the last 4 episodes. Thanks again for more inspiration!
