CCMC Week 1 Favor – Watercolor Winter

November 3, 2012 By Connie | 5 Comments

Welcome!  Since I used Watercolor Winter stamp set for my card set this week on Create with Connie and Mary Card "Create"tions, I thought I'd share a simple coordinating favor with everyone using Watercolor Winter.  The rest of our Card "Create"tions Design Team is also sharing their matching favors with you over on Create with Connie and Mary, so make sure to check them out.

 

I used a simple Sour Cream Container, but jazzed it up by using Designer Paper and the Watercolor Winter images.  Now, I've tried to get a good photo, but do you know how hard it is with a 3 sided favor?  lo!

 

 

Here are the details!

  1. I used a 5 x 6 square of the green print from Candlelight Christmas Designer Paper and adhered a 3/4" stripe pattern of the same package down the center.
  2. I rolled it into a long tube (6" long), and adhered with Sticky Strip.
  3. One end I added Sticky Strip inside the opening and folded in the one direction.  I scored the bottom several times in 1/8" increments to "crimp".
  4. Fill with candy or whatever, then add Sticky Strip to the other end and fold it closed in the other direction to form the sour cream package shape.  I scored that end several times 1/8" apart to crimp it, too.
  5. I stamped the Poinsettia with Early Espresso on Real Red, then cut it out.
  6. I two-step stamped the pine cone with Early Espresso and the pine needles with Lucky Limeade on scrap Very Vanilla and cut them out. 
  7. Adhere the images to the top of the sour cream container.
  8. Stamp Deck the Halls from Merry & Type in Real Red on Very Vanilla, cut with the second from smallest Window Frame Framelit.
  9. I applied Dazzling Details glitter around all the edges of the stamped images so they sparkle!
  10. I also added a trio of Rhinestones inside the Poinsettia.

This was pretty quick and easy to make…would be fun to hang them from the tree as a little favor at your holiday parties.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    This sour cream container is GORGEOUS!  The touch of glitter to the edges of the pointsettia looks like snow glistening in the sunlight–it's magic.  Smiles, Elizabeth

    Connie, your card is beautiful.  I just got this set so I'm excited to try this out.  It's been years since I've made one of these sour cream containers.

    This is sooo fun…almost looks as though you plucked the container off of a Christmas tree!  Thank you for sharing the tutorial!
