More Halloween

Tonight I have another Halloween project using the Big Shot, 

  the Mini Milk Carton Bigz L Die and the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die. As so many other creations come together accidentally, this project did too.

These little containers with handles don't look like the Mini Milk Carton do they? What happened is I was folding and trimming the carton and I accidentally cut off the top where the carton comes together. I had cut out three of the milk cartons and I didn't want to waste the paper so I cut off the rest of the top portion and improvise by  turning them into little boxes with handles. For the handles I cut some of the left over designer series paper and attached the handles a couple of brads. The boxes are about 4 inches tall so some longer or bigger treats can fit nicely. I added the "BOO" because I couldn't help myself. I'm really into "BOO" right now.

Tutorial for Top Note Party Favors

Happy Sunday! It's seems like Fall here in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It's just right temperature wise and I'm loving being outside today.  I did have a couple of request to make a tutorial on how to make the Top Note Party Favors.

To start out you need the following:

 

2 Pieces of card stock 4" x 6"

1 piece of Designer Series Paper 4' x 6"

#2 White Paper Bag

Adhesive..I used SNAIL

Paper Snips or scissors 

Big Shot Die Machine

Top Note Bigz Die

 After running the paper through the Big Shot using the Top Note Die cut the edge off the designer series paper. This way when you adhere the designer paper to the card stock you will have a nice little border.

Cut the paper sack so you  have about 3" left.

Unfold the sack like I have here before you punch out the handle with the Oval Punch.

Apply adhesive all the way around the outside of the paper sack, using the side that has a** seam. Add adhesive to the designer series paper and press it on the opposite side of the Top Note that has the sack. **I have you use this side with the seam so it won't get caught on the punch when punching out the handle.**

Place the paper sack on the Top Note that hasn't been punched  and press down. Be sure the sack is not hanging over the sides or the bottom. Using the Large Oval Punch (I used the small Oval Punch) and punch through the paper sack and Top Note.

 Once  you have the handle punched, place the punched Top Note on the one that isn't punched and draw the opening with a pencil. Apply adhesive to the other side of the white sack and like up the punched Top Note with the one that needs to be punched. Press together,  and punch once again.

 Your finished! This is a side view. The opening to the favor is about 3" X 4". It will hold a nice treat. Be sure to use Sticky Strip if you are going to add votives or something heavier than candy, ribbon, buttons, etc.

 Front view. Embellish as desired.

The next two examples are Top Note Favors I made this year

The following are Top Note Favors from last year

These are so much fun to make. Almost everyone who sees them asks how I made them. I have taken orders for bridal and baby showers, for children's birthday parties and many other parties.

If the favors aren't fussy, I charge $7.95 for six. If I add silk flowers, ribbon and lace, the price is higher. So far, no one has complained about the cost. It's because the favors are unique and people can't buy them in the store.

I hope you will give them a try. Let me know what you are doing with the Top Note favor.

LNS Demo Only Challenge 189 Fall into Stamping

This weeks challenge was so much fun. So much fun that I made a card and the Fancy Favor Box.

I fell in love with the new designer paper, Orchard Harvest. I used the plaid side as the second layer of my card and on the opposite side I cut out the leaves and acorns and adhered them using SNAIL adhesive to Very Vanilla card stock.
I stamped a sentiment using Marina Mist Classic Stampin'Ink and the stamp set Trust God on a 1 3/4" Scallop Circle out of Very vanilla card stock and "just for you" from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and Bitty Banners Framelits. I added Rhinestones from Rhinestone Jewels and 1/8"Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon.

I cut the Fancy Favor Box using Crumb Cake card stock and the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. I chose Early Espresso Core'dination Card stock and embossed the paper with Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Using the new Stampin'Sanding System I sanded the card stock.

I used Word Window punch for the fence, the 1" circle, Small Oval punch, Cup Cake Builder, and Boho Blossoms punchs for the pumpkins with Tangerine Tango and Gumball Green card stock.
After punching out card stock using the Word Window punch, I used Crumb Cake Stampin' ink and a Sponge Dauber to make the fence look weathered. I cut Gumball Green card stock for the grass and the
trendels for the pumpkins. I used SNAIL adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the punched shapes to the card.

Birthday and Get Well Cards

Three of our granddaughter's have birthdays the first three weeks in September. Page on September 1st, Olivia September 8th and Anna September 15th. Last week I posted Pagie's card but here it is again with Anna's and Olivia's cards.

Olivia's card

Anna's Card

One of our brother in laws, Norm Smith had back surgery yesterday to fuse five of his vertebrae together because they were fractured. I wanted to make a special get well soon card to brighten his day. I hope this will do it.

I love having Stampin' Up! paper, ribbon and other products on hand to make cards any time I need one or want to stamp. It sure beats standing at the card counter trying to find just the right card. And have you priced store bought cards lately? You can't get out of the store with card less that $4.95 now.

If you would like to have Stampin' Up! products on hand to be able to make your own cards that show you really care and can personalize them to fit the person you are making the card for, click here for products at my 24/7 online store.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards. Please leave me a comment.

Washer Necklaces

I had so much fun making these washer necklaces. They are easy and once you get started, you don't want to stop.

 

 

I bought 1 3/8 " washers for about $1.49 for six. Or you might have some lying around in your husbands tool bench. I punched out designer series paper using the 1 3/8" circle punch and the 1" circle punch. These fit so nicely to the size of the washer.

I covered the flat side of the washer with designer series paper and adhered it to the washer with Liquid Multipurpose Liquid glue. I let it dry. Then, I used sand paper to smooth out the outer edges and the inside of the washer. I applied Crystal Effects and let dry for a couple of hours. When dry the washer looks like enamel; so pretty. I chose ribbon that would coordnate with the washer and looped it through the inside of the washer. I added a bead to secure the ribbion. The ribbon can be tied in a knot or in a bow and worn with a matching outfit.

A good way to recycle the washers and the desginer series paper.

 

Designer Series Paper of your choice

1" Circle Punch

1 3/8" Circle Punch

Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Crystal Effects

Ribbon & bead  of your choice

 

I hope you will give these a try.
