Happy NEW YEAR!

I was shopping in Rite Aid, and I came across a small mesh baggie of these little chocolate roses (for a 1.00!) I thought they might make a cute project without involving 4.00 worth of m&m's to fill each person's tube. The tubes can be made bigger or smaller of course, but I like this size tube.

The top and base was done in Riding Hood Red, and the insert was done with Pink Pirouette and Kiwi Kiss. I stamped the stem and leaves in Kiwi Kiss, and then Love you from Short & Sweet (pg 146) in Black ink





The rose was attached with Mono (which I should've used sticky tape) it was coming loose, so I had to take a photo quick before it came off! I can't fix it because I used the sticky tape for the top and bottom (very important to use the sticky tape since it holds up better. If you had m&m's in this, it would be too heavy for Mono to hold all them inside! (can you imagine this spilling out! NOT!)








I used the Scallop circle 2 die cut (the smaller one) and then punched a 1 3/8 circle for the center. I needed to punch the center for the ribbon.

The back of the insert was stamped on Pink Pirouette in Riding Hood Red, using the heart and the Love you from the Short & Sweet set (146, 15.95)
I can also see a sucker inside this or...maybe if you wanted to give someone a cute pen...with a doodad on top! You can make it taller to fit inside!

Happy New Year! Be safe and celebrate "Fine in OH-Nine!"
