Christmas Candy Treats

Hey Everyone!
 
Happy Saturday! I have a cute little project to share with you guys today. I've seen these on Pinterest and knew I needed to make them! Christmas is right around the corner. It's time to start those Christmas cards and get those treats ready for your kids classrooms or co-workers. Today I have a really easy project and instructions on how I made it!
                                         
 
This little treat I made using the envelope punch board (I love that thing) for a Holiday Boutique I am participating in next weekend. They are small enough to hold a mini size piece of candy but big enough to slide my business card in! They are just perfect I think! I will be handing these out at my table next weekend!
 
Ok so now for instructions. I have seen some make theirs with 5 x 5 or 5 1/2 x 51/2. For what I wanted I needed something a little smaller. I was able to figure out the dimensions to use 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 piece of paper. Line up your paper to the 2 5/8 mark on your punch board. Score and punch. The rotate your paper and line up the score line. It should line up at 1 7/8. Score and Punch again. Do this for the next two side until your paper looks like below. After you have all of your sides scored and punched, just fold along the lines and secure with adhesive.
 
                                         
 
I punched out two tags. One with the decorative label punch and the scalloped oval punch. I stamped merry and bright sentiment from Christmas bliss and punched out with the large oval punch (1 3/4 x 7/8). Put all the labels together and your cute little treat is complete! This is a perfect project to make with the paper stacks or with scraps you have from left over DSP. I hope you enjoyed this little project and inspires you to start making your holiday treats!

Be Grateful....be thankful

Hey Everyone!
 
Well the holidays are upon us and there is no turning back now. I have been busy crafting and have lots to share. Today I am going to start off with goodies for Thanksgiving to show a special someone you care. Today I have a wine tag on the blog today and a Thank you card. I love the two tone effect on the card. The card is matted twice and stamped with dotty angles and the seasonally scattered stamp set. I love that stamp set. Plus I just received my feathers and had to use them! I am so excited for them.
