Spring Green!

Sentiment is from Charming Sentiments Stamp Set

I may be late with this post, but I still think my project can help inspire you to share what you love to do. This is a treat holder that I made to fit a package of two Mint Milano cookies. I gave these out at an event this month. You can change out the treat or decoration on the front to suit your needs.

All you need do is measure how high and long your treat is, then create a measurement with score lines where necessary. Don't forget to add about 1/2" for a fold over flap to glue it closed on one side. It's open on both ends and your treat slides in and out using the ribbon tied vertically around the center. I used two kinds of ribbon for this, one gathered (green) and tied with the other (black and white gingham)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm not Irish, but I love wearing green and having fun on St. Patrick's Day! Thanks for stopping by. I gave these out at my Workshop last night. Just a little sweet on a holiday!

I'd love to be your demonstrator, so won't you use my Online Store to order your Stampin' Up! products?

Pot of Gold Hearts for PPA242 Color Challenge

Happy Thursday! This card for Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge came together very quickly once I got the idea! I started with a Brushed Gold card base and added a Garden Green background which was embossed with the Large Polk Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 

Next, I made a black Pot for Gold using my large and medium Oval Punches. The "feet" of the punch are from the Owl Builder punch. The teeny golden heart "coins" are also from the Owl Builder punch and they are punched from Gold Glimmer Paper. 

After I made my pot of gold, I decided that a banner across the top would balance the card. I used Gold 1/8" ribbon to tie a bow and banner across the top. I added two Banner Punch flags in Garden Green prints from the Regals Designer Series Paper Stack. In the middle is a Whisper White banner that I Gold Embossed using "Teeny Tiny Wishes", my only St. Patrick's Day stamp!
