Creative Challenge......Easter Treats

 

Happy Friday Peeps!

My friend Wendy at WeeBeeStampin4Fun and I

decided to resurrect our Creative Challenges.

I laid down the first challenge of Easter Treats.

When I sit down to work on my Easter Treat Challenge

I literally had NO ideas.

I remembered a few years back I had a pattern for a candy dispenser, but I could no longer find it, I suspect it died on my old laptop....lol!

So I went on a search for one and found this super easy tutorial 

and with a couple of modifications  I made mine.

I made four using Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight card stock.

I used the Gingham Gala DSP. to decorate each one.

 

I used the Fable Friends stamp set and stamped the precious little bunny 4 times onto thick whisper white card stock. I colored each one with ink to coordinate with the paper. 

I die cut the oval the bunny is mounted on from the Wonderful Floral Framelits.

 

I added the Easter Greeting sentiment at the top along with some ribbon looped through the lid.

I finished each with matching sticky sequins and a pearl.

Then when I was getting my candy to fill my dispensers I found the cute 

Ghiradelli Bunnies and Eggs.

So I whipped up these:

 

Pattern found  HERE.

I used the same Greeting on these from the Fable Friends and the grass image is from that set too.

The flowers and leaves come from the Beautiful Bunch stamp set.

Now head over to Wendy's Blog to see what wonderful Treats she whipped up!

Creative Challenge with Wendy......Post It Notes

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

I made it through the long Black Friday weekend at my work and I am more than ready for a couple of days off. It was crazy busy!!

So as you all know my sweet friend Wendy, from WeeBeeStampin4Fun, and I have been doing Creative Challenges back and forth for a while now. It was my turn to throw down the challenge and when I was getting some swaps ready for OnStage last month I came across these little post it note holders with pens that I bought a few years back from Pick Your Plum. I decorated a few to give out to some friends.

. 

While making them I decided they would be great for our next Creative Challenge. So I packed a few up, along with some other things, and mailed them off to Wendy.

The Santa thinlit die is ALMOST a perfect fit.

I die cut my Santa using Cherry Cobbler card stock. I did trim off just a bit of the Santa along one side and then reglued down the the edge piece to give it a finished look.

The sentiment on here comes from the Greetings from Santa stamp set. 

I stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and die cut with a small die that is in the Bakers Box thinlet set.

I then had to make one using the new stamp set I was able to pre order from the upcoming Occasions mini. I love the Lift You Up set with matching dies. The hot air balloon is PERFECT!

The dies even cut out the pieces that fit behind the balloon, the ones I cut in different colors. Those pieces can be used like I did here or to make another hot air balloon, they are so versatile. Do you see the clouds? They are another die in the set and the matching stamp set.

The DSP on here is one that will be available in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.

I think they both turned out so cute.

Creative Challenge....Halloween Treats

Happy Monday Peeps!!!

It has been a long time since I did a creative challenge with my friend Wendy at WeeBeeStampin4Fun. 

But she issued a challenge to me last week to make a Halloween treat using these mini coffee cups. She had made the cutest little Christmas one and we was chatting and she showed it to me and I thought it was so adorable and I told her I had a bunch of those cups and that I thought it would be cute made with a Halloween theme. 

So she issued her challenge and I happily accepted.

I frankly had been dreaming about making a Halloween flower with the Pumpkin Pie Glimmer paper every since I first saw it. I knew I wanted to use black along with it. I had some of the Black Glimmer paper from last year so I pulled it out to use. 

The only issue with the glimmer paper is that it is hard to glue, I ended up using my glue gun to make this flower.

I used a sentiment from the Spooky Fun set. I thought it was perfect for my "boo"tiful flower.

My next one is very much inspired by a sample in the mini catalog.

 This one I used the Spooky Fun set along with the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies.

I love the tree and fence in these dies.

The DSP is from the Halloween Night Specialty pack. 

Here is a side view so you can see the little cup in the treat holder.

I used some of the Halloween Night bakers twine and Halloween Enamel dots on my treat holder too. 

Be sure and head over to Wendy's Blog and see her amazing creation.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today 

HAPPY STAMPIN!!!
