Hoo-Ray Treat Pails!!

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Popping in here quickly to share some cute little treat pails I made.

 My wonderful friend Wendy form WeeBeeStampin4Fun challenged me a while back to use these pails again, (you may remember our challenge back in February with these pails, you can see THAT POST HERE). 

So challenged accepted, even tho I was down to the very last minuted doing these, I think they turned out cute. 

I have a lot to live up to with Wendy, I feel she is the queen of the treat makers, she makes treats for all the holidays and they are always sooooo cute!!

So anyway, I went off to Michael's and found me a few more of these pails to decorate.

I just got these three done, I used Real Red and Night of Navy and the striped paper is some from an old Paper Pumpkin kit.

The stamps are from the Be the Hero stamp set. such a fun set with the stars and cute sayings.

On the first one I used the Night of Navy card stock and embossed it with the Lucky Stars EF.

I added the string of stars around the top, which is also from the same Paper Pumpkin kit that the striped paper came from

To all the pails I made a little key chain type sentiment holder using the Hoo-Ray stamp and added it to the bottle cap with some dimensionals.  I used my Crop a dial to punch the hole for the chain and the pails come with a little washer that is used to open the lid on the pail. It is on the chain as well.

This one used the Real Red card stock  that is embossed with the Lucky Star EF as well.

This one has the striped DSP and the celebrate is from the Endless Birthday Wishes set.

I made pom poms for the top of these with red, white and blue yarn and I added a bow to each one using some of the silver 1/4" ribbon.

The stars are stamped and added with dimensionals as well. I layered more stars over the top of a couple and stamped stars on one of them, all from the same stamp set.

Another little shot of all three:

I didn't have any chocolates on hand (they are a no-no for me right now) but I did find some of these cute little red and white striped mints in the cabinet and they fit the theme so win, win!!!

Be sure and head over to Wendy's BLOG to see what she did with this creative challenge.

Sweet Sunday......Celebrate

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!

Here is the sweet sketch we have this week:

Since the 4th is just around the corner, and the sketch had stars (of course you do NOT have to use stars) I immediately knew what I wanted to do.

I started with a card base of Naturals card stock.

I then uses some red stripe paper from a past Paper Pumpkin Kit.

The Night of Navy is made with the Hearst and stars Decorative Mask (stencil)

I used some modeling paste along with the mask to add the white stars, I love the look of that technique. 

I added a strip of  silver glimmer paper across at an angle.

The large star comes from the Be the Star stamp set and scored the lines in the star and folded it to create a 3-D effect.

I added some looped twine behind and attached the large star with dimensionals.

The smaller stars are punched out with the star punch in the itty bitty punch pack.

The celebrate is from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set.

Be sure and head over to the Sweet Sunday Sketch Blog to see what the rest of the girls did with this sketch.

Freshly Made Sketch.....Celebrate

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I love all things patriotic and I love making patriotic cards.

This one was fun to put together.

I used some things from a past Paper Pumpkin kit, the red striped paper and the string of stars are some leftovers I have in my stash. Really I have a lot of leftovers. LOL!!

The base of the card is Naturals card stock then I used  the Lucky Stars EF to emboss some Night of Navy card stock and also some of the Naturals. 

I added a small strip of the red striped paper sown the side of the Naturals card stock.

I made a rosette with the same paper and added it to the base with some glue.

The blue star is from the Be The Star stamp set and I used Night of Navy ink. I cut it out and added it to the rosette with some dimensionals.

Next is the small glimmer star added with another dimensional.

I used a sentiment from the Endless Birthday Wishes set and embossed it with white embossing powder.

The string of stars is also added with a few dimensionals.

A peek at the inside:

HAPPY STAMPING
