Sour Cream Containers

It has been so long since I’ve posted and I’ve missed it.  I hope to be back posting on a more regular basis.

My project today are some sour cream containers that I made tonight for my Hostess Club group.  I put a little thank you inside for each of them to thank them for their recent order.  They are really very easy to make and I think they turned out cute!

Thank you for visiting! I will have some more projects posted in the next few days.

Take Care!

Enjoy a Treat

You could definitely say I am thinking about candy these days and how to incorporate it into my projects. It must be because Halloween is not too far away!

I’ve made a purse like today’s project before but it was much larger and I put 3×3 cards in it .  You can see it HERE.  I changed the measurements up a bit so that it could hold a small piece of candy instead.  I tried making it with different paper but then decided to make my own DSP again although this time I used different colors:  Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Cajun Craze.  Normally I would have used Old Olive but I checked my Color Coach and it recommended Pear Pizzazz.  I used my Big Shot (of course) and the Scallop Circle #2 die as well as my Perfect Dots embossing folder. My purse strap is used with Peach Parfait 1/2 inch Stitched-Poly Ribbon.  I will be making more of these with some different colors and will post them soon.

Nugget Purse

Thank you for stopping by today!

This little purse is the perfect size for two pieces of candy.  It could be given to someone to brighten their day or it would be a cute shower favor. The idea for this purse was inspired by a project I saw on Stamping School.com  but I changed it up a little bit to make it my own.  You can see the candy in the picture below.

The paper I used on the front of my purse and  to wrap around the candy is Paisley Petals. Instead of putting paper on the lower half of the purse, I chose to use my Big Shot and emboss the paper.   I don’t know if you can see it, but on the front of the purse there’s a little Old Olive brad to simulate a snap on the purse.  I used velcro to close the purse shut and used our new Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade for my strap.

Have a great day!

To Brighten Your Day

Happy Monday!  I hope you had an enjoyable weekend!  I was able to do some stamping but not enough!!

This box is very similar to one I posted a few weeks ago and you can see it HERE.  I used a different stamp set on this box – French Foliage – but the colors are the same as the box in the previous post.

I made a bow and tag and attached it to the top. I meant to round all of the corners of my tag but of course remembered after I had attached my bow and it was too then too difficult to insert my punch.  Sometimes there’s lots of trial and error while you are creating!  Only one corner is adhered to the box with glue dots and some dimensionals.  I used the Kraft Gift Boxes from the Holiday Mini.  These boxes are a perfect size, not too big and not too small.  I am going to give a gift card to someone that could use some cheering up and thought I would put it in this box on top of some shredded cardstock.

Batty for You

Today I have another mini pizza box that I was able to make pretty quickly.  I used the Batty for You stamp set which has so many cute images that it is always hard to decide which one I want to use.  Each of my scalloped layers and the two round circles are popped up with dimensionals. In this size box you could put candy, a small gift or 3×3 cards and envelopes.
