candy Archives - Inkspired Treasures

It’s time for the Control Freaks “Tour de Freaks” Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “Time to Celebrate”! We have lots of things coming up to celebrate…graduations, end of the school year, Mother’s Day, and of course birthdays! You’ve probably just come from Debbie Henderson’s blog, weren’t her projects fun?

Well, I love Petal Potpourri and decided to use it for my projects this month! I made a little favor box and card to match! Here’s the card:

And here is the little favor box made with the Party Pennants Die. I promised the tutorial…here you go:

Petal Potpourri Favor Box Tutorial

Aren’t they SOOOO cute? Love the colors and I’m sad that Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding will be retired soon. The background is stamped tone-on-tone with Crisp Cantaloupe Ink and the outline flower. The Calypso Coral Flower is set off against the Garden Green Flower Medallion punched piece and Gold Soiree Designer Specialty Paper! The center is Pistachio Pudding punched with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, then the circle stamped with Gold Metallic Ink. Add a little 1/8″ Gold Ribbon for the finishing touch on the card and cello bag holding the candy! The beautiful script greeting is from Stampin’ Up!’s Lovely Amazing You stamp set!

OK…next stop is Justin Krieger and his fabulous projects, then continue around on the tour!

How do you like my new look? I've been wanting to do a complete overhaul on my blog and recently had Victoria from VK Designs do my design! I love how it ties in with my blog and Stampin' Up! group name!

I don't do a lot for St. Patrick's day…but I worked on this little Leprechaun Favor while I was at my stamping retreat last weekend! I think he turned out pretty cute! I still need to get some gold coins to fill in the center. The base I adapted from the snowman favors that were shown around at Christmas time using the Envelope Punch Board.

A few quick details:

The base is 2 1/8 x 11 Garden Green, scored at 5 1/4 and 5 3/4 off the long side at top.
With the Envelope Punch Board, punch at 2 1/8, flip to other side and repeat, then do the same from the other end.
I used a variety of punches with Blushing Bride, Garden Green, Basic Black and Champagne Glimmer Paper.
The pot is the Deco Label Framelit with one of the ends cut off.
The Certainly Celery Taffeta Ribbon ties the favor closed.

Isn't he fun??? I think he turned out pretty cute!
