Pizza and Soda Pop Anyone?

Hello again!

I thought I would share with you today the cute little Pizza Box and Soda Pop treat box I made!  When I first saw the stamp set, I knew right off I'd be making a trip to our big Sweets Shop Candy store in the Phoenix, valley area.  Do you remember eating these as a kid?  Yes, I did try one as an adult and hmmm, not so sure I could call this a favorite anymore!  But I will leave my childhood memories alone and choose to remember them as yummy, along with the wax lips and Halloween fangs!!

These cute little Mini Pizza Boxes come in packages of 8 for $6 and they are the perfect size for giving gifts, 3'x3" Notecards and envelopes (pkg of 40, $9) and of course treats!  I packaged a few of the wax bottles in one of our 3'x6' gusset cello bag (pkg of 25, $4.50).  Just fold it over, secure with some washi tape, and then wrap a little strip of cardstock and designer series paper around it to secure with a belly band!  Simple and Easy!
For the Mini Pizza Box I chose to feature the DSP and cut strips to decorate the side edges of the box, layers for the top along with cutting out a couple bottle shapes from the fun DSP patterns too, added a little pop of a For You stamped image and called it ready to go!

You can find the Mini Pizza Boxes and Notecards in the Holiday Catalog section and the Gusset Cello Bags in the Annual Catalog.  Thanks for stopping by and shopping with me if I can assist with any of your stamping needs & wants!

Treats, For You!

Hi

Welcome back to see what's next up at the PARTY!  Every party needs some treats to take home, so here's a couple of ideas in these next two posts!

This is one of our 2"x2" square clear plastic boxes!  It seriously couldn't be any easier!  Cut a strip of dsp to just a tiny bit less that 2"x8".  You insert it into the box and start folding it as you reach each corner and it basically stays on its own!  I did not overlap any corners or use any adhesive!  The little For You comes from the Mini Treat Bag thinlits as well - just cut that out and pop it on!
Okay so I did go a little overboard by adding the White Bakers Twine pom pom.  But it was fun to wrap the twine and then cut to create a cute little fuzzball!!!  Maybe not so cute if I was making 20 of them!!
But as you can see I did wrap the box with the Old Olive 1/4" Stitched Edge ribbon and tied it off with a bow - surely that would suffice without the pom pom!

Check back for another cute and simple treat idea tomorrow!
Thanks!

INKstravaganza TREATs

Hi!
Here is a final look at ALL of the Take Home Treats!  I had so much fun making them and equally as much displaying them!  It was kind of my INKin' All Night! theme station!  This was where I pulled all of the color coordinated items together, from their invitation all the way to my swap card and to the take home treats, their goodie bag and and yep, even the make n takes coordinated!  It actually was quite fun doing it and I hope they liked it as much as I did!

All of the Take Home Treats had one thing in common that you can't see!  It was a sampling of MY FAVORITE TREATS so they got a little bit of me in their day without even knowing it!  So what are they again you say?  Caramel Corn, Reese's PB Cup, Caramel Ghiradelli Square, Salt Water Taffy and PayDay candy mix!

And here's how the girls were greeted with all of these treats!

The tier on the left with the PayDay Jars & Caramel Corn Fry Boxes

The tier on the right with the Ghiradelli, Reese's and Salt Water Taffy

And at the end of the day they all got to go SHOPPING and pick up one of each to take home!  Had to stage all of these pictures as the girls were all too quick!  And into their coordinating Goodie SWAG Bag it all went!

Such a cute little container

Hello again!


Well here we are together again for 2 days in a row!  Today I have a quick little container that I made with the new ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD that was released in September.  Yes of course it does envelopes but all the creative juices are flowing all over the internet and you really can do so much more than just make custom envelopes (oh did I mention, 66 different sizes of envelopes!!)  -- in case you needed more convincing of why you need this cool tool.  Now you will WANT it even more!

This little gem is made from a 5.5" square piece of paper & some trimmings for sprucing it up!  If you want to watch a video, visit http://pootles.co.uk/

You start with a 5.5" square piece of paper (card stock or designers series paper

With your Envelope Punch Board, align paper at the top by the ruler guide, slide the left edge of paper down to 2" mark, you will punch and score, slide to 2-5/8" and punch and score

Turn 90 degrees counterclockwise and align the score line you just made up with the score guide, punch and score  (repeat for 2nd score line)

Turn 90 degrees counterclockwise and repeat the process for both score lines

You ONLY do this for 3 sides since our envelope box is going to stay open (it's sturdier if you don't score the 4th side)

Fold on all score lines, cut or slit little tabs on bottom edge to either tuck sides in or just cut off.  Fold bottom up, then fold Left and Right sides in/over -- can secure with just a few glue dots!

After my envelope box was made, I decided to spruce it up with some trimmings!  Just a small 1" strip around and then a small little layered bow topped off with a tiny button and some twine!  All added with more glue dots -- seriously one of my best friends and most reached for must have items in my studio!

Come back tomorrow and I'll show you how to make the cute little bow!  And can you see that cute little decorative edge on the strip of DSP?  Where'd that come from you ask?  It's the new Rotary Blades for the 12" paper trimmer!  So easy and way cuter than a straight edge, there's a couple of decorative blades to try!

Okay!  See you tomorrow!
