Valentine {please be mine}

Well not long now until the New Year!  2011 will be a great year, I can feel it in my bones.....  oh sorry, LOL, that is my "rumatizm" haha. I've been reading too many books, obviously!
Today I have a card that was based on one I saw on Stamp TV .  I decided to use the new Stampin' Up! Red Glitter Paper available starting January 4, 2011 in the new Occasions Mini Catalogue.  Oh is it sparkley!

I used a lot of Nestabilities on this card.  The white parts are direct cut outs, the patterned paper pieces have been had cut to fit inside the white parts.  I also used the new Love Impressions DSP also available in the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalogue by Stampin' Up!.  A bit of whisper white satin ribbon finishes the whole thing off.  I used a stampe from the stamp set "Holiday Best" in real red classic ink.  Lots of height on this card, I know it would take extra postage to mail it!
Bye for now, back tomorrow with another card for you......Glenda Mollet

The Love Story Scrapbook Page

This page was difficult to bring together.  I used the basics from the scrapbook page on page 100 of the Stampin' Up! Main Catalogue 2010-11 and expanded it to 12x12 and added some elements.  The page is about my dear hubby, Ted, and I.  Maybe that is why it was so difficult to do!


I used some retired colours on this page because those are the colours in my bouquet and Ted's shirt.  Cameo Coral, Apricot Appeal and Groovy Guava.  Nothing says 1975 like different shades of orange!  The stamp sets are Flower Fancy (a two step stampin' set) and Priceless.  I have had both of these sets forever and use them all the time.  The flowers and leaves are all hand cut, the leaves are popped up on dimensionals, and the flowers have Basic Rhinestones (the small ones on the left), Basic Pearls (the big ones) and Clear Rhinestone Brads (the small flowers on the right).  The tags are from the Basket and Blooms die for the Big Shot.
I wanted to do some journalling, but did not want it to clutter up the page too much, so I created journalling space under the tags on the right hand side.  I used the clear rhinestone brads to hook them together and they act as a swivel to open the top tag and expose the journalling.


Then I dug out one of my two left over invitations.  Yup you know you are a scrapbooker at heart when you have saved the Wedding Invitation for 34-1/2 years!  Too funny.  I hid it under the picture.  I just popped the picture up on dimensionals around where the invitation slips in.  Then put a tiny part of another tag on the top to pull it out.


 I used the Newsprint Designer Series Paper for the background and spritzed it with Cameo Coral, Apricot Appeal, So Saffron and Old Olive markers using the Colour Spritzer tool.  Then I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and inked up the word Love on the "Peace Love Joy" stamp from the "All Holidays" stamp set, and stamped it in the title at the top of the page.

The cardstock is Naturals Ivory and it goes quite good with the Newsprint DSP as it is Basic Black and Very Vanilla.
Thanks for stopping by, remember tomorrow night Don't Drink And Drive when you party the new year in.

Magnolia Card - Honey Tilda - Mojo Monday #171

A special treat today, two posts!  This one is my entry for the Mojo Monday 171 sketch.  I coloured this image of Honey Tilda with Copic markers.

I used Stampin' Up! cardstock - Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie, and Designer Series Paper - Greenhouse Gala.  Tilda is "sitting" on a nestability, I used the "out of the box" technique of cutting out her legs and inserting the nestie die in behind her before I cut out the cardstock.  It looks like she is sitting on the cut out image.  Then I framed it with another nestie cut out of Chocoate Chip.    The leaves are Pear Pizzazz and I punched them with the Stampin' Up! 2 Step Bird Punch, the flower is one I picked up at Wallyworld a while ago.  I stamped Homey Tilda on Stampin' Up! Whisper White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then coloured her in the following Copics:
     Hat: YR07, YR04, YR02
     Clothes: YR07, YR04, YR02, YR0000
     Socks: YR02, YR0000
     Heart Antennas: YR07, YR04, YR0000
     Skin: E13, E11, D00
     Hair: E25, E31, E50
     Cheeks: R21, R20
     Wings: Y11, Y0000, Diamond Stickles
Here is a closer picture of Tilda ....
Do you see the purple ladybug on her leg?  Well, I had an "oops" with a marker when I was going around the outside of her legs after I cut them out, and it slipped and there you go, a ladybug is placed on her leg!  I looked for a red one, but this is the only colour I could find, so it had to do.
Here is the inside, not as decorated as a lot of them are, but more than I usually do ......
It is another piece of Greenhouse Gala DSP, some more leaves from the bird punch this time in Daffodil Delight, and some Whisper White ones from the Little Leaves die.  The cute little bee is from "Just Buzzin' Bye" a Stampin' Up! set.
Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoyed both posts today!  Glenda Mollet

Ink:  VersaMark, Always Artichoke
Cardstock:  Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla

Because I Care - CASEd card

Hello everyone, I am back again with yet another CASEd card.  This one I received as sa thank you card from a fellow demonstrator on Vancouver Island - Lisa (Rankin) Gray.  I do not know if Lisa has a blog, but want to acknowledge her super work.
I used some Basic Rhinestones on my version, but basically the rest is the same.  The hydrangea image is stamped on Very Vanilla in Early Espresso ink, then ran through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.  I did ink the edges of the very vanilla piece before I put it through the folder.  The butterfly is cut out from the Beautiful Butterflies die, then I stamped the Baroque Motif stamp in VersaMark and added clear embossing powder.  Then Marina Mist ink was sponged all over the butterfly, and wiped with a bit of Windex to take the ink residue off the embossing.  6 Basic Rhinestones were added for the body.  This is actually quite a quick card to make.  I hope you have had some time to do some serious crafting in your craft room this holiday season.  I have been having such fun casing cards from blogs, friend's cards, and the main catalogue as well.  I have also created a few of my own.  I will share these with you over the next few days.  Bye for now ... ... ...  Glenda Mollet

Just Believe - CASEd Card


Hi I'm back again with another card I CASEd.  This time its from Tiffany Bauer.  Visit her blog for some great cards!

Tiffany made her card red, and I decided I needed to create this one in blues.  I used the Patterns Designer Series Paper - Marina Mist and Night of Navy cardstock.  I dug out my Colour Spritzer Tool (item 107066 - page 195 of the main Stampin' Up! catalogue) and spritzed the background of the white pice in Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist using my Stampin' Write Markers.  This tool is awesome, and I hardly ever think to use it.  Thanks, Tiffany, for the nudge!  This card measures 9" x 4" and fits into a legal size envelope.  One of the Antique Brads finishes off the Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon.
No more turkey for me, I am completely finished with turkey for another year.  Now for some basic chicken!  I know, weird, huh?  Thanks for visiting, Happy Stampin'   Glenda Mollet

Secret Tilda - Magnolia Card

The town we live in, Port Alberni, BC, is a very foggy part of the world during the winter.  So I set out to make a happy, sunny card using Secret Tilda, Fairytale Background, and Two Tulips.  I dug out my stash of retired Stampin' Up! Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper and created this card .......

 

I used the Mojo Monday 170 sketch for this card.  I stamped Secret Tilda first on Stampin' Up! Watercolour Paper using Basic Black Classic Ink, then masked her and stamped the Fairytale Background over top.  The Two Tulips stamp was stamped on a separate piece of WC paper and cut out after colouring. I coloured the scene with my Stampin' Write Markers and an Aqua Pen.  Kaleidoscope DSP has some retired colours in it, so I had to dig out my retired markers.  I also used Gable Green cardstock and the Little Leaves Die to make the leaves behind the Two Tulips. The fluffy clouds have some Liquid Applique on them.
Here is a close up picture of Secret Tilda ......

and a close up view of the entire scene .........


This is a picture of the tulips I stamped on the envelope and the left hand side of the card  ......


And finally a look at the inside of the card.  I used a nestability to make the frame thing around the area for writing, and added a couple of Basic Rhinestones for some bling.  Then I hand cut out some flowers from the DSP, and put some Basic Pearls on them.  I cut the DSP so it looks like a sunburst ...... 


 I have so much fun creating this little gems, and over the holiday season I hope to get more done.  I get to let my creativity flow and use lots of items on them.  I know most of the products I used on this card is Stampin' Up!, but I did try to add some non SU flowers and ribbon and trinkets, but it just did not look right.  Maybe next time!
I hope your Christmas was awesome yesterday, and today you get a chance to rest and relax now that it is all over for another year.  Yummy leftover turkey sandwiches mean NO COOKING today!
Happy Stampin', thanks for visiting ...........  Glenda Mollet

Morning Cup - Mojo Monday 169

Merry Christmas Everyone!  Ho Ho Ho .... .... ....
When I saw this week's Mojo Monday 169 sketch, I knew I had to create something with it.  I recently got the Stampin' Up! set "Morning Cup".  I know, I know, what took me so long.  Well I am basically a "floral" card maker, but all at once this set hit me and I had to order it.  It is really fun to create cards with it.  I made my December Thank You cards out of it as well.  Here is the Thank You card I created . . . .


I bought the wheel, Take A Sip, as well and had a lot of fun using it too.   And here is the card .. ... ....

I used my very favourite designer series paper, Elegant Soiree!  This paper is like comfort food to my eyes.  To create the scalloped corners on the DSP, I used the Scallop Circle Punch, then added Basic Rhinestones on the curves.  I did a watercolour technique on the stamped images with Stampin' Write Markers and an Aqua Pen.
Here is the recipe for this card (all Stampin' Up!):
Stamps - Morning Cup, Occasional Quotes
Ink - Basic Black
Markers - Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive
Paper - Elegant Soiree DSP, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Watercolour Paper
Other - Aqua Pen, Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Corner Rounder Punch
Season' Greetings to you and your family, and I hope all is well in your corner of the world!

Just Believe Brayered Card - CASEd Card Share

This is the last one of my CASEd cards for now.  This is CASEd from Gretchen Barron, another very talented lady.  I love brayering, which this card uses.  I love clean and simple, which this card is, and I LOVE rhinestones and bling of any kind, which I made this card have!

I used almost the same colours as Gretchen, but I changed the Pretty In Pink to Pink Pirouette to make it a bit softer.  I added Basic Rhinestones to the butterfly body and made antennas for him as well.  I also added a sentiment to the bottom, and omitted the ribbon.  My Just Believe floral images are stamped in Early Espresso instead of Chocolate Chip.  So I used the same colour scheme, just used a couple of different colours.  When making this card, make sure you ink your floral images really, really well so you get good coverage and solid stamped images (yup learned this by the hard way!).
Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!  I hope your day is fabulous tomorrow, and Santa is good to each and every one of you.  I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to visit my blog!

Floral Birthday - CASEd Card Share

I went from Clean and Simple yesterday, to Fussy and Fun today.  This card was CASEd from Chat Wszelaki.  Chat used the tree image from Stampin' Up!'s Contempo Christmas and a small oval punch to create this fun card.  Another card showing how to use a seasonal stamp in a non-seasonal way. 

I used different Designer Series paper - mine is Greenhouse Gals, so I used Pear Pizzazz along with Whisper White and Real Red.  I also used the Ovals die to make the red piece behind the sentiment, it layers perfectly with the Wide Oval Punch.  My ribbon is Real Red Satin.
Another great card CASEd from a very talented lady.  Thanks Chat!
I have one more cased card for you tomorrow, then I actually have a "Glenda Mollet Original" for you!
Happy Stampin'  ... ... ...  Glenda Mollet

Peaceful Nature - CASEd Card Share

Another CASEd card, this time from the great Michelle Zindorf, the queen of Brayering.  This card caught my eye by its simple elegance ............
The bird is from the Stampin' Up! Level 3 hostess set Peaceful Wishes, a Christmas stamp set from the almost retired Holiday Mini catalogue.  I wanted to show my Stampin' Ladies how you can use seasonal stamps in a non-seasonal way.  Michelle shows this superbly!  I love the colours on this card as well.  The only change I did was to add a sentiment to it.
Ah, hump day.  This used to mean something to me when I used to work, but now it doesn't!  LOL
Bye for now ............  Glenda Mollet

Owl Love - CASEd Card

When I first saw this card, I instantly fell in love with how whimsical it is.  The cute owls are just perfect looking at each other with lovey-dovey eyes.  The Sunny Garden Designer Series paper makes it a bright and fun card.  I CASEd this one from Lynn Put.  Check out her blog - she is truly gifted!  Here is my version - I did change it up a bit from the original ..............


I used a sentiment for an anniversary, added some whisper white leaf punches and a white button.  I also changed out the striped DSP for some polka dotted one to make it a bit softer. 
Happy Tuesday everyone.  Only 4 shopping days left (including today), I hope you are ready and not out fighting those horrible crowds.  Bye for now .......  Glenda Mollet

French Foliage - CASEd Card #2

This is another one of the cards I saved to CASE from a while ago.  This is one of Robin Merriman's cards.  Boy do I love how she makes clean and simple cards.  I was wowed by this one when I read it is only ONE LAYER!  Yup, only one, nothing else.  It is just ink, stamps and one 8.5 x 4.25 piece of Naturals Ivory cardstock.  Check out her blog post and see the other cards she made with one layer.  Yup I plan on casing some of those too!
My colours here are Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Old Olive, and Crumb Cake.  I drew the lines with my Basic Gray marker.  This would be the perfect card to mail overseas!
Hope you had a great weekend, and are all ready for the big day.  I am all set for Christmas, just have to buy the turkey and fixin's which I am doing this morning!  I even have desert all ready (I cheated and bought it, but shhhh don't tell  anyone!) LOL.
Bye for now, I'll be back tomorrow with another cased card ... ... ...  Glenda Mollet

French Foliage - CASEd Card

Don't you just love it when you have uinterrupted Craft Room time?  Last night and all day today I have had that wonderful experience.  Boy did I put it to good use.  When I read blogs or emails and see cards I love, I save them to make "someday".  Well, someday was last night and today.  Over the next few days I will share with you some CASEd cards I finally got around to making.  They are all from awesomely talented ladies and I thank each and every one of them for sharing their work and bein an inspiration to us all.
My first one is a CASE from both Lee Conrey and Sandi MacIver.  Sandi was the origiator of this fabulous card, then Lee took it and "Lee-ized" it.  I made some changes as well and here is my version ... ... ...

The Cajun Caze piece behind the sentimen is made with the Labels 3 die and my Big Shot.  Then I stamped the sentiment and punched it with my Curly Label punch, it fit perfectly! 
My colours are River Rock, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Whisper White.  I love the set "French Foliage" by Stampin' Up! it is a really versatile set and this card is aimed at being masculine, do you think I hit it?
Thanks for visiting, I will have another CASEd card for you tomorrow ... ... Glenda Mollet

Lip Balm Holder #2

This is the very last craft fair item, I PROMISE!!!  The craft fair is over and it was a great success.  Thank you to everyone who dropped by.  Oh my the baking was out of this world.  Sitting all day looking at it for two whole days was a bit of a bear, but I manaaged!
Here is the last Lip Balm Holder I made ......
I used Jolly Holiday DSP, Basic Rhinestones and Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon.  The tree image comes from Season Of Joy.  I inked my stamp with VersaMark, then Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink (at the same time, it does not affect your Cherry Cobbler Classic Pad at al!).  Then dipped it in Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder and used my Heat Gun. Oh My Goodness, or as Robin would say to Batman, "Holy Bling Batman!!!).  It was so gorgeous.  A few Basic Rhinestones just finished off the blingy effect.  The sentiment is from Merry Chrittermas.
Well, that's it for craft fair stuff.  I am hoping to get some crafty time in during the next couple of weeks and will share with you when I do.  But my posting will be sporatic as we get ready for Christmas.  I have gift wrapping to do today, after I seriously clean my house.
Bye for now, thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog.  Happy Stampin'   Glenda Mollet

Lip Balm Holder #1

Yesterday and today is the craft fair at Cup and Saucer Eatery, in Port Alberni.  If you are in town, don't forget to drop by.  Lots of great stuff!
Today begins the 4 part series of Lip Balm Holders I made for the craft fair.  Here is #1 ~ ~ ~

I created the template myself.  I am sure there are lots out there, but I did not look at anyone's before I created these.  I cut the cardstock, folded it, then cut the slits for the lip balm.  Then I added designer series paper - Candy Lane - on the outside, along with decorations.  I purchased a MS punch yesterday to make the snowflakes.  I love how they turned out, they are great with all those rounded ends.  Then I put Basic Pearls in the middle of them.  The sentiment was done with my Stampin' Write Markers.  A bit of Whisper White 3/8" Taffeta ribbon slides through the holes I punched with the slot punch and ties in the front.
Thanks for visiting ....... ........... ..........   Glenda Mollet

Chocolate Treat Pouch Number Two

I only had time to make 2 of these Lindt Chocolate Treat Pouches.  If they don't sell (fingers crossed!) I guess we will have to eat them, LOL.


I used the same pattern as the first treat pouch, but the background is Bells and Boughs set in VersaMark.  I made another Poinsettia from French Foliage, spritzed it with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz, and added a few Basic Pearls to the center.
Tomorrow I will begin my Lip Balm Holder series.  The very last of my Craft Fair items, I promise.  Then I will have some crafting time to make cards.  I can't wait!  Happy Stampin'  Glenda Mollet

Chocolate Treat Pouch

Well I did find some time to make a few more craft fair items.  The next two posts are pouches I created for packages of Lindt Chocolates (oh they are sooooo yummy!).  This first one I was inspired by Pam Browne.  I think her packages of chocolates were smaller than mine.

I added some scalloped real red to the folded over part, and the background is the Christmas Collage background stamp in VersaMark ink.  A basic rhinestone is in the center of the whisper white snowflake punched piece.
Tomorrow another Chocolate Treat Pouch for you.  Happy Stampin'   Glenda Mollet

Luminaria Second One

Ah finally reached the end of my Craft Fair items.  I have everything priced and in totes.  Just have to get some cards out and price them now.  In 2 days it will all be over for another year.  I can't believe how fast 2010 went! 
Here is the second of my Luminaria (or Luminaries as they are also called) .......


I created this one completely from scratch (and used a LOT of scrap paper too!)  I cut all the sections out, scored them, punched them with the Decorative Label punch, added some cardstock weight vellum, and put them together into this awesome luminarie.
Here's a side view for you .  The berries on the stamped image are coloured with the Smooch Paint (red).

I hope you have enjoyed the journey over the past couple of months.  I will be back doing cards again as soon as the craft fair is over.  Have a great weekend, and Happy Stampin'!!!!

Luminaria

I had time to create two Luminarias for the upcoming craft fair.  Will see if I have any time left to make any more ...........

I used the Fancy Favour die for this one.  And that now famous Poinsettia out of the French Foliage stamp set.  After cutting out the box, I ran it through my Big Shot again with Petals A Plenty embossing folder.  Then I used the Smooch Paints Gold Lame and Moonlight along with some red that I already had on the berries and flower centers.  A bit of Deck The Halls DSP, and a bow made out of Very Vanilla Satin ribbon, and its done.  I punched the "windows" out with the Tag punch.  Below is a side view.

One more tomorrow, see you then.  Happy Stampin'!!!  Glenda Mollet

Christmas Tags #3

Today I have the last of my 3 sets of Christmas Tags I created for my class today.  The ladies could choose which set they would like to make, all 3 of them if they wanted, and how many of each set.  I am all prepped, and even prepped some to make for the craft fair, and for my own use!
These tags use Deck The Halls designer series paper by Stampin' Up! ... ...


For this first one I created a poinsettia out of the French Foliage stamp set. I got this idea from Connie Babbert.  I added some Champagne Glass Gllitter to the centre (Crystal Effects was used as the adhesive).  I could not resist the pull of "bling" so I also spritzed the leaves and the flower petals with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz!


Crumb Cake spritzed with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz is the base for this quick and easy tag.  I love the words on this piece of DSP, its the song "Oh Christmas Tree" so I just had to use the tree from the Christmas Classics stamp set.  A bit of bling adorns the star in the form of a Basic Rhinestone!


I used the Ornament die from the Holiday Windows dies (pg 209 Item 116821) to layer the Ornament Punch piece.  Did you know the Movers and Shapers dies layer perfectly with lots of our punches????  Anyways back to the tag.  The stamp is from the retired set "Holiday Best".  I stamped it then punched it out with the Ornament Punch.  Then I stamped it again and cut out the words and popped them up.  A cute bow finishes off the image.  I used a sliver of Brushed Gold cardstock for the hangey part.  I did not use bling on this one, can you believe it???  I can't, LOL.

So I'm off now to get ready for today's classes.  This is the end of my Christmas Tags set, tomorrow I will show you some other things I created for the craft fair.  Bye for now, have a great day!

Christmas Tags #2

These next Christmas Tags are made with Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up!  ............


On this one I used my Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz on the designer paper, then put a piece of Whisper White cardstock onto some of the new Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (page 17 of the Holiday Mini catalogue - item #120805) then ran it through my Big Shot using the new Northern Frost Decorative Strip Die (page 38 of the Holiday Mini catalogue - item #120901).  Then I pulled off the other liner sheet and pushed it into my Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  Oh my, it is soooooo lovely.  A Basic Rhinestone finishes it off.  The stamp is from Grateful Greetings ... ... ...


This one has a stamp from Christmas Classics.  I used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour it before I stamped it, and then added some Red Glitter with the 2 Way Glue Pen.  Love that BLING!!


And this last one is the small Dasher stamp from the Winter Post set.  I spritz the Early Espresso and Very Vanilla layers with my Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz and added a red rhinestone (from a $ store) to the reindeer's nose to make him Rudolph!


Thanks for visiting, I have one more set of Christmas Tags for you tomorrow, then some Luminarias after that.  Happy Stampin'!!  Glenda Mollet

Christmas Tags #1

Well, I'm getting there, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now.  I have created some great projects for the upcoming Craft Fair at Cup and Saucer Eatery, in Port Alberni, BC.  If you are in our neck of the woods, please join us Sat Dec 11 and Sun Dec 12 from 10 am to 4 pm.  There will be a whole bunch of artisans at our little craft fair.  Cup and Saucer Eatery is located on Victoria Quay, just under the high rise building.  Hope to see you there.
I created 3 different sets of Christmas Tags this year.  The first one I am showing you uses the now sold out Stampin' Up! Candy Lane Specialty Designer Series Paper.  This awesome paper has bling built right into a number of the sheets, so I did not even have to add bling on those ones.  Here's the picture of all three of them for you ... ...

 and individually ~ ~ ~ ~


These were really fun to make.  One day I just sat down with some scraps in front of me and creativity flowed.  This set uses Real Red, Baja Breeze and Whisper White along with the Candy Lane Specialty DSP.  Some punches and Tags Till Christmas set.
Thanks for visiting, back tomorrow with the second set .... ..... ....  Glenda Mollet

Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders #3

Here is the last set of Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders.
These ones use Real Red cardstock, a stamp from Tags Till Christmas, some Real Red Taffeta Ribbon and more of those mini clips I got on the Clearance Rack at Stampin' Up!  Under the tags is a scallop circle punched piece of Candy Lane DSP.  They are filled with Lindt chocolates and Hershey's Kisses.
That's it for the treat holders.  Tomorrow I will share with you some Christmas Tags I created for my Tags classes this month.
Happy Stampin' ..............  Glenda Mollet

Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders #2

Here is the second lot of Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders I made for the craft fair I will be participating in on Dec 11 and 12.
I used some more Candy Lane Specialty Designer Series Papers for these ones, the Designer Label Punch, Tags Till Christmas, some more mini clips, and the 2-3/8" Scallop Punch.  I also stamped and coloured just a little piece of the stamp set Holiday Lineup.  They are filled with Lindt Chocolates and Hershey's Kisses.
One more set to show you tomorrow, so see you then.  Glenda Mollet

Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders #1

Wow we had such fun at my annual Customer Appreciation Dinner and Party on Tuesday night.  So many people were able to come, and it was awesome.  Thank you ladies, from the bottom of my crafty little heart!
Now on to the purpose of today's post, the first in my series of Mini Milk Carton Treat Holders .....

I used the Mini Milk Carton Die and my Big Shot to make the cartons.  I punched out one side before I put them together and added a piece of medium weight window sheet to cover the hole.  I had some of the printed window sheets left from last year, they are printed with white snowflakes on them.  So cute, and they worked perfectly for this project.  I used some of my precious, Candy Lane Specialty DSP (no longer available as it is all sold out!) from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalogue to decorate them.  I also purchased some retired mini clips from the Clearance Rack to hold them together.  Real Red and Garden Green are the cardstock colours.  Then I filled them with Hershey's Kisses and Lindt Chocolates.  Yummmy!
Thanks for visiting, back tomorrow with set #2.   ........... .......   Glenda Mollet
