I used Stampin' Up!'s Level 1 Hostess In Color Patterns Pack in Concord Crush for my candy wrapper.  Then trimmed off a piece of another pattern to use as the trim along the edge.  I added a Scallop Border of Whisper White.  Holding it closed is the Concord Crush Ribbon and I tied on a tag punched with the Decorative Label Punch from Blushing Bride cardstock.  The cupcake is punched from more of the Designer Papers and layered on a Whisper White Wide Oval punch.  I added a rhinestone jewel to the top of the cupcake for some added sparkle.

Finally I added Spoil Yourself Today greeting from Bring on the Cake Stamp Set in the Occasions Mini, stamped in Concord Crush on Whisper White and punched with the Word Window punch.

Here is what it looks like with the Dove Candy Bar peeking out.  I put a couple Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the candy bar to hold it inside the wrapper.

I hope you like it!  Go check the tutorial and dimensions over on Stamping 411 today!  I'd love to see if you make one, so let me know!

This is a cute little candy treat holder, too.  Pretty quick to put together.  I love to make 3D items…I almost wish I was working outside my home, so I could make them for my coworkers!  I do think I’ll make them up for Easter table favors…wouldn’t they look cute sitting on the plate at the table?

To start, I used a 3 1/2 x 11 inch piece of So Saffron cardstock and scored it at 4 1/2 and 6 1/2.  I cut a piece of stripe Sale-A-Bration Delicate Dots designer paper to 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 to cover the front.  I added some candy to a small cello bag, folded over the top slightly and stapled it to the top of the back side of the sleeve.

For the topper, I cut a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 of the blue Delicate Dots Designer Paper and ran it thru the Big Shot with the Top Note die.  I folded the Top Note in half.  I stamped "A Yummy for your Tummy" (one of the Sale-A-Bration sets) in black ink on the back side of the Top Note (can’t see it here), then adhered the back side of the Top Note to the back side of the sleeve.

For the daisies, I ran 2 pieces of Whisper White cardstock through the Big Shot  (I did them separately since the cutting has so many edges on this die) using the Daisies #2 die.  Since the die has three sizes of Daisies, I staggered the two pieces of each size together to get a fuller flower…just used a little bit of adhesive in the center to keep them together.  I placed a Summer Sun Corduroy button brad in the center…it gives it so much texture it almost looks real!  I used my fingernails to make the petals curl slightly.  I attached this corduroy button brad to the front side of the Top Note.  The front of the Top Note folds over the front of the sleeve to keep it closed…no adhesive necessary!

So…do you like?  I know my Club members loved it last night!  I can’t wait to see what the other Bloggers have done this week!
