Happy Easter Purses

 

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a couple of cute little Easter Treat Holders I made using

a die cute small purse. 

These die cuts are a unknown maker and was sent to me by a dear friend.

I pulled them out to make these fun little treat holders that will go into my

granddaughter's Easter basket.

I used the challenge this week at 

Just Add Ink:

"Easter is perfect for this challenge!

 

The purses are die cu using Balmy Blue card stock.

I used the Sending Flowers Die for the flowers. I die cut with Granny Apple Green and then die cut

the flower heads with Poppu Parade and Daffodil Delight.

 

The bunny is from the Welcome Easter stamp set and is stamped on thick whisper white card stock

with black stazon ink.

I watercolored using my  basic gray ink pad and Aqua Painter.

i used Flirty Flamingo for the inside of the ears and feet pads.

The sentiment is stamped with Poppy Parade ink and die cut with a die from the Sending Flowers die as well.

 

I finished up by adding some rhinestones and a crinkle white bow.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this project.

Open If You Dare Coffin Box

Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a fun little Coffin Treat Box.

I love this little treat box, I have had these laying on my craft table for several weeks and

had not opened them, why was I waiting??

So fun to work with, they come flat in a pkg of 12 (12 tops and 12 bottoms) ready to assemble.

I used tear and tape for this one. You definitely want a good strong adhesive.

I assembled the bottom first and then traced around it to make a template for the inside.

I wanted to "line" mine with some Gorgeous Grape card stock.

I cut the template I made out just inside the drawn lines and then used my 

trimmer to trim down the edges just a hair more. 

I embossed my Gorgeous Grape piece with the Stylish Scroll EF and then glued it into the bottom of the  box.

I also embossed the lid for the box with the same EF before assembling it.

After my lid and bottom was put together I used some Frost White Shimmer Paint on a 

dauber and sponged the edges.

So cool, love the look.

I stamped the sentiment from the Spooktacular Bash stamp set on a scrap 

of Whisper White and used a die from the Ornate Frames Dies to cut it out.

I cut another one of the Ornate Frame Dies in Pumpkin Pie to use on the box top as well.

 

I added a piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon next and the Dracula image is cut

from the Monster Bash  Designer Series Paper. I added it over the ribbon with dimensionals.

The sentiment is then glued on and a Enamel Dot was added at the edge of the 

sentiment piece.

So cute ...right?

All ready for some Halloween goodies!!!

Monster Bash Treats

 

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

Today"s share is some fun Monster Bash Treat holders.

I love Halloween it is one of my favorite Holidays to create for, and of course

treat holders are what it is all about right?

 I have created a PDF with instructions for this project.

Click here for that 

These little treat holders are so much fun to put together.

It starts with a piece of DSP 6 x 4.5 inches

so you could make 4 out of on sheet of 12x12 DSP!

 

I used the Ornate Dies, they are so amazing, I love how intricate they are!

I cut images from the DSP to decorate some and for some I stamped sentiments from the 

Spooktacular  Bash Stamp Set.

I added the die cut layer to the box flap with dimensionals.

 

I used Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry along with Whisper White

to create the tag fronts.

I also used a few of the fun Monster Bash Enamel Shapes.

 

Here is a pic of the little treat holder to show how I did the 

closure. Pinch up the sides a bit and fold top flap over.

I used some tiny thin sticky back velcro dots, I go mine at JoAnns.

Mini Curvy Keepsake Box

 

Today I have another sneak peek for you.

This Mini Curvy Keepsake Box is my first

Christmas share from the upcoming Holiday mini.

It is just sooooo stinkin' cute!!!

I love the size and also the Holly and Berry stamp is beautiful.

It is from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set.

A beautiful new set, I will have more to share with that later, it amazing!

I stamped the Holly image with Stack Stazon and colored

with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

I fussy cut it out and put aside to make my box.

 

I die cut the box using a piece of DSP from the Let it Snow pack.

I also die cut two ovals from the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Dies set, one for

my sentiment and one for the Holly leaves.

The "Joy" came from the  "Hearts Come Home"

stamp set from last year, that is no longer available.

I layered the two die cut ovals together and ran 

two pieces of white twine through the holes to attach them to the box.

 

I ran the twine through the handles of the box and tied a pretty bow.

I then used dimensionals to add the Holly image to the oval.

I used my Wink of Stella pen all over the Holly and Berry image. 

It adds a really pretty shimmer.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.

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!

Thanks for coming by!

Treats for Co-Workers

 

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here, this month has flown by. 

December is a busy month for so many, and that is no exception here.

I finished up and delivered most of my goodie trays to family, friends and neighbors yesterday.

I also was able to finally finish the little treats I give my co-workers this week as well.

I snapped a few quick pics

 I just got a few Russell Stover candies and put them in bags and made some quick tag toppers.

I used a bunch of retired DSP and the 

Making Christmas Bright stamp set and matching punch. 

 These are some Hershey Nuggets that I packaged up.

All the DSP on them are from the Santa's Workshop paper.

I die cut the little elves and Mrs. Claus from the paper as well.

These are super easy to make!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Halloween Nuggets

Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a few little Halloween Treats

These are a CASE of my sweet friend Wendy at WeeBeeStampin4Fun.

She is the queen of treat making in my eyes. She makes the cutest ones.

I am always inspired by what she makes and when I saw her nugget holders I decided to makes some of my own.

I love the little halloween images in this set, the Cookie Cutter Halloween. Here is used the Mummy and the Skeleton.

I added bows and hearts cut with the Pumpkin Pie glimmer paper.

 The sentiment is from Spooky Fun stamp set and the DSP is all from the Halloween Night Specialty pack. I added a cute little bat that is die cut using the Spooky Scene edgelits.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Easter Treat Fabric Purses

Happy Friday peeps!!!

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

I used the Stampin Up purse die to make these little cuties.

I started with the Stampin Up Adhesive sheets and covered some Pink Pirouette card stock. 

I then peeled off the backing and added my fabric, making a layer of card stock and fabric stuck together to run through my Big Shot with the die.

I cut out ten of these little purses.

I put them together using some score tape. The handles are put on with silver brads.

I then dug out these long ago retired flower brads from my stash and used them to decorate the fronts.

I added a small pearl to the flower center. I used crystal effects to put the pearls onto the brad. They are sticky back but I wanted to make sure the pearl did not fall off.

I then dug through all my ribbon and found this retired pink and yellow to match my brads and added a bow to the handle. Simple, easy peasy and finished in no time.

I think they turned out cute. I will add some chocolate to the purse and have some cute little Easter treats for some lucky girls!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Valentine Owl Treat Holders

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing some fun little Valentine Owl Treat Holder I made this week.

I used a tutorial I found on Becky Robert's Blog HERE.

I made these up to give to some friends when we meet up for some stamping fun in a few days.

They are super easy to make up, I used some real red and basic gray card stock for mine, but these would be cute in a lot of different colors.

I used a couple of retired Valentine DSP's and the body of the owl is embossed using the Fancy Fan EF.

I need to get a few more done before the get together. 

Hope you enjoy these.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Halloween Treat Bags

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a couple of Halloween Treat Bags I made. I had a request from a friend to make some Treat Holders to use for her grandchild's school party.

 I created a couple of samples for her to choose from.

These "bags" are so cute and are very easy to make. 

You can get two from one 8-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock.

Here are the measurements:

Start with a piece of 8 1/2"  x 5" card stock.

Score on the short side at 2 3/4", 4" , 6 3/4" and 8".

Turn and score on the long side at 1 1/4".

Basic Box making skills required to assemble

I added a couple of scores down the side pieces to make them appear more sack like.

I used one of the dies from the Stampin Up Finishing Touches Edgelits across the top to mimic a paper sack. Love the look of that.

The finished size of these are just right for a little treat for a school party or even for a co-worker or to give out to those special little ones on Halloween.

They are just 3-3/4" tall by 2-3/4" wide.

Here is a picture of one without treats in it so you can better see the finished top:

The sentiment on here is from the "Halloween Bash" stamp set, which is the only Halloween set I have ordered this year, I had convinced myself that I didn't need any more Halloween sets, but I am quickly coming to the conclusion that I was wrong about that. LOL!!

 I kept these fairly simply so they could be easily mass produced.

Here is one I did using some Tangerine Tango card stock:

I used a non SU die to cut out the Jack-O-Lantern face and then slipped  a piece of daffodil delight card stock inside. Too Cute!!

These are really simply to make but if you have any questions just let me know.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Halloween Ghirardelli Chocolate Purse

Good Tuesday morning Peeps!!!

Today I have another fun little treat holder to share with you. This one will hold a ghirardelli chocolate square or a few small 3 x 3 cards. I found the instructions for making this treat holder HERE!

I used some retired Halloween DS paper on this one, it was my first and I don't like to waste current paper, OK really I am just a hoarder, in case I make a mistake. I used a MS punch for the fence in basic black. The pumpkin is made with 1-1/4 inch circle punch. I punched three circles with pumpkin pie and sponged with Cajun Craze. The face is one of my much loved Peach Keen pumpkin faces stamp. I used some old olive card stock and the Scribbles Swirls and Little Leaves Sizzix dies for the swirl and the leaf. I punched another 1-1/4 inch circle with crushed curry card stock and sponged with Cajun Craze ink. The sentiment is stamped with black stazon and is from the Wicked Cool stamp set. I added some black grosgrain ribbon and old olive brads for the handle.

I didn't have any Ghirardelli chocolate here right now to show you in the box, but will be getting some on my next trip out so I can make a few more of these!

Well, that is all from me, but you will want to be sure and stop by tomorrow, because I am participating in a super fun Halloween Punch Art Blog Hop and I have a couple of really cute things to show you!

Thanks so much and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Punched Kitty treat bag

Good Monday Morning Peeps!!! Happy Labor Day to all my American friends!

Today I have a fun and super cute little punched kitty Halloween treat bag! I saw the kitty instructions HERE! Around our house we all love kitties, and this one is no exception! He is all dressed in black for Halloween! I couldn't resist putting a big ol full moon behind him, I punched it with crushed curry with my 1-3/4 inch circle punch and sponged the edges with Cajun craze ink. I added the kitty to the moon with some dimensionals. The kitty is made from punches, the head is the large oval punched in black and slide back into the punch and punching off a bit more of the oval. The body is the word window that is trimmed up the side to a pint at the top. The legs and feet are punched hearts from the heart to heart punch. The collar is the slot punch and the eyes are 1/2 inch circles cut flat on one side. The ears are also made from up side down hearts. the eye pupils are tiny strips of old olive. I made my tail a bit different from the original, I used my oval punch and the negative from another cut oval.

My sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and is stamped onto a scrap of Cajun Craze card stock with black stazon and punched out with the word window punch. The topper is made with the top note die in basic black and the DS paper is from the Wicked Fun Speciality paper.

Well, that is all from me today, Thanks so much for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Frankie Tube Treat Holder

Good Thursday Morning Peeps!!

Today I am back with another treat holder made with the awesome little tutorial found here on Kim's blog Paper Punch Addiction.

This is actually the first one I made and I wasn't really pleased with it, but the more I look at it the more it grows on me. He is kinda funny looking, but Frankie IS kinda funny looking anyway. I used kiwi kiss card stock for main part of Frankie and his hair is made from some lovely lilac card stock. I just hand cut his hair. I used some circle punches to build the eyes, 3/4 and 1 inch circles. I used the My Way Punch for the arrows at his neck and I hand drew in his mouth and scar. The nose was created with the word window punch.

Well, that is it from me today, Thanks for coming by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Halloween Treat Tube

Good Saturday Morning Peeps!!

The Halloween bug has bitten me big time, I am dreaming of fall, writing odes to fall, and making fall/Halloween cards and projects. I made this fun little treat tube following the pattern here on Kim Score's Blog, Paper Punch Addiction. Love her blog and she is a wizard with all things punched!!

I made my tube out of pumpkin pie card stock and some retired DS Halloween paper. on the bottom and top I used basic black. The bottom I used my MS fence punch and the scallop punch on the top, of course the top and bottom base is made first with the large flower punch.

I used my large oval punch for the pumpkin and the face is a stamp set I got from Peachy Keen stamps, another discovey from Kim's blog. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes and I stamped with black stazon onto pumpkin pie card stock and used the small oval punch to cut out. I added some old olive grosgrain ribbon and tucked the sentiment under the bow. I can see many more of these in my future, they are the perfect size for a little Halloween treat!

Here is a pic of the side:




Well, that is all from me today, tomorrow is Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge time so be sure to swing back by then. Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Halloween Owl!!!

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!!!

I am so excited about today's project share!!! I just got the new Owl Punch!!!1 I have been imagining all the wonderful things I could make with it every since I saw it in the new catalog. There is a bit of a story about almost not getting this order yesterday. I placed my order for this punch a few other things with a friend at her open house, the order was scheduled for delivery yesterday. Lois, my above mentioned friend, picked me up to go to her house for some stamping fun with our new goodies. She picked me up around noon and we did a couple of stops and ate lunch before heading to her house. When we pulled up in front of her house we could see a UPS delivery note on her door......DANG, we had missed him. Her usual driver always left her box in the back on the boat under it's tarp. Well, wouldn't you now it, today a different driver so he was un-aware of the arrangement. We were so upset, NO it just couldn't be that we would have to wait til the next day to get our goodies!!! Not to be deterred Lois sprung into action, called the local UPS office and ask if they could get a hold of the driver to come back or even meet us somewhere, if he was still in the area, and they agreed to try and call us back. Well, an anxious 10 or 15 minutes later the driver called and said he would meet us in 30 minutes at a nearby highway inner section........so we got our goodies, UPS drivers are the BEST!!!!!

When Lois unpacked the box we just ewwwed and ahhhed over all the lovely stuff!! I just held my owl punch and didn't even want to open it!!! LOL!!! But I told Lois, I had an idea about giving my owl a witch's hat and I wanted to make a matchbook treat holder and sooooo he was born!!! Any of you that follow my blog, know how I LOVE all things halloween-ee!!

The match book is made with a piece of Crumb Cake card stock cut to 3 x 9-1/4 inches, scored at 3/4, 5 and 5-1/4 inches The DS paper used is from the retired Cast-A-Spell paper pack, I haven't gotten the new Halloween paper yet, but soon!!!

Here is the open matchbook:




You can put a fun size pack of M&M's or Skittles or something like that in the inside, tuck it in before stapling or use some sticky tape to hold it in.

The bottom strip has a staple but it is covered in the front by my sentiment layer. The letters are from the Naturally Serif sizzlets strip die. I made the hat with my small oval punch for the base and hand cut the top. I added some highlights to the hat and heart with my white gel pen. Well, I hope you like my little Halloween Owl, I am sure you will See more of this owl in the future.

Thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
