Love you, Love you ......NOT! Challenge #3

This was our 3rd Challenge....Love you Love you NOT

Tana, my LNS Stamping partner likes Old Olive, I don't like Pumpkin Pie.

so, we decided to combine these 2 colors to make something for FALL....and then...we had to add metal...

So I got these tins at Target (you know, the $1.00 bin?) Well, you gotta scoop up stuff there when you see them because they are really great to use for stamping and creating fun stuff...!!!

One of these days, I will just take a photo of their bins. lol



What i did was use the Scallop #2 (the larger of the 2 scallops) to create these flowers. The center is using the 1 3/4" circle punch.

The leaves are done by punching the circle and then re-punching it so that you're left with a 1/3 of the circle. You can then punch it about 2 more times to create leaves.

Now this is ready for some goodies to fill up inside!

What can you create for this challenge?

WOW..I can't believe my blog has hit 30,000! Thank you for viewing my blog!

Miniatures Treat Box Tutorial

Hershey's Miniature Treat Box (holds 8)

Cardstock
Sticky Strip
bone folder and scoring tool (either Scor-Pal or Fiskars Personal Trimmer with Score tool)

Cut cardstock - 5 9/16" x 6 1/8"

Score 1/2" and 1" around all 4 edges

Cut the corners and form the flaps on each of the 4 corners. Fold your box, and apply Sticky Strip to the flaps.

Fold down the first flap over the sides of the box after you have formed the box. The sticky strip is better to use so it will hold the box together.

After you have all the flaps down, you can then place your candies inside the box.

To form the sliding cover:

Cut your piece: 4 1/4" x 9 3/4"

Score at 3 5/8", 4 1/8", 7 13/16", 8 5/16"

I used my Stampin' Up! Fiskars Personal Trimmer because the Scor pal can't score these lines very accurately.

This will wrap around the box. Sorry for the bizarre measurements, but it needs to accomodate the thickness of the cardstock and slide on easy over the box.

Adhere the flap to the back of the box, and decorate as needed!

Another version of the same box, without decorated candies!

Now, you can try it!

Pillow Box Treat

Wow today is the last day of September! I can't believe how fast it has gone, and yet, to a 16 year old, school is just a D--R--A--G! lol

Well perceptions are such that you are deceived by just the visual of looking at something and not seeing potential!

The pillow box is small. It is too small for a gift card. So, what good is it to buy it? Well, don't let the size fool you!

You can do much more if you look beyond the size and try something different. This is using 2 pieces of Designer paper. I had 2 small pieces, so I put them together on the die and they were both short. I made sure the edges were straight, and then ran it through the Big Shot.

I used the CREASE pad ** (very important, and 1 shim!)

Adhere the edges together, by overlapping the pieces by just 1/2" or so.

When you assemble the box, this is what it will look like. Fill your box with your favorite treat, like m&m's or Hershey candies or... Money - CASH? lol

Decorate with your favorite ribbon and
Vanilla Hardware

See!, you are only limited to your imagination!

Halloween treats

What is Halloween to you?

Well Halloween always means the warm fall air, with cooler nights than summer. Breeze that blows but not too gusty, and of course, costumes, and candy! We think of candy at my house, not just during the fall or Halloween, but all year around. Hey, you can't get tired of chocolate, can you?

Well, I was searching all over for a box pattern for Hershey's Minatures. Do you know, that there isn't a pattern for this? I guess I will have to make up a tutorial for this. They have them for the nuggets, but not minatures.

So, stay tuned, and I will get it together. But, for the meantime...this is my box for Halloween treats!
I had some extra small pieces of designer papers, ie: HAIKU and so I thought I would try to use up some of these smaller pieces to cover the candy!

These pieces are 1 1/2" x 3" (approx). You take the piece, and then put a little snail at one end, and then wrap it around the miniature Hershey's chocolate.

Wrap it all the way, and then place it in the box with the other candies!

After all your candy's are covered, this is what it will look like.

Well, you can't see what is inside of them which makes it nice because if you're like my family, we've already eaten the MR. GOODBARS and the KRISPIES Chocolate ones....so all that's left are just the milk chocolate and the dark chocolate...gggg!!! SHHHHH!

Decorate the top of the box, and slide the cover over the box, and it is all ready to give to your special TRICK or TREATERS....I'm giving them to my co-workers...!

Hey did you know that Chocolate doesn't cause tooth decay? I read it in a dental journal. It has something in it which doesn't cause the tooth decay..but of course, it is better dark (which I love dark chocolate too) than milk chocolate which has more sugar added to it.....

Well, don't forget to floss and brush after eating your candy! (that's the dental hygienist in me telling you to take care of your teeth!)

Happy October! Stay tuned for the box tutorial!
