Treat Box & Hidden Message Z Fold Card – Hobby Haven Gift Set
Today I’m excited to share the final project in my Hidden Z Fold Fun Fold Card Series, and it might just be my favorite one yet. This coordinating gift set features a portrait-style Hidden Z Fold Card and a matching treat box, all created with the Stampin’ Up! Hobby Haven Suite, including the Creative Haven Stamp Set and Dies. The soft, soothing color palette of Pool Party and Petal Pink ties everything together beautifully and gives the whole set a fresh, creative feel.
About the Hidden Z Fold Card
If you’ve ever made a Z Fold card, you know finding space to write a greeting can sometimes be a challenge. However, this version includes a built-in hidden message panel, so you can write a personal note inside without taking away from the fun fold. Even better, the portrait orientation allows the card to stand upright, making it a beautiful display piece your recipient can proudly enjoy.
The sewing-themed paper from the Hobby Haven Suite brings a charming handmade aesthetic to the card, featuring sweet details like scissors, yarn, needles, and the adorable sewing machine. To complement the crafting theme, I gently frayed the edges of the Petal Pink braided trim, adding soft texture and a cozy, homespun touch.
About the Treat Box
To complete the gift set, I created a coordinating treat box that is surprisingly roomy. It perfectly fits Milano cookie packets from Entenmann’s, making it ideal for small gifts and thoughtful surprises. But it also holds so much more—tea bags, wrapped chocolates, small lotions, craft supplies, and little seasonal goodies.
With its matching patterned paper and frayed trim, it pairs beautifully with the card to create a cohesive and heartfelt handmade gift.
