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!
- 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.
- I rolled it into a long tube (6" long), and adhered with Sticky Strip.
- 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".
- 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.
- I stamped the Poinsettia with Early Espresso on Real Red, then cut it out.
- 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.
- Adhere the images to the top of the sour cream container.
- Stamp Deck the Halls from Merry & Type in Real Red on Very Vanilla, cut with the second from smallest Window Frame Framelit.
- I applied Dazzling Details glitter around all the edges of the stamped images so they sparkle!
- 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.
