Crisp Cantaloupe Card and a Treat Bag

I have another card with a matching surprise for you today.   This one is a Sahara Sand and Crisp Cantaloupe combo.  Let's look at the treat holder first.

The holder is made using our French Fry Box Bigz Die.  You simply cut 2 and use only the backs of each one.  The little photo tutorial below shows how to put it all together.  

I just added a squiggle of watercolor onto the embossed Thank You on a scrap of watercoloring paper and then, once dry, cut the v-cut using the Hexagon Punch.

The card just showcases the gorgeous background stamp.  I've embossed with white EP onto Crisp Cantaloupe CS.  I used parts of the stamp to decorate the inside of the card and the envelope.

I lightly sponged the doily to blend in to the vintage look of the card.

The flowers are from our Artisan Embellishment Kit.

I masked off part of the inside of the card to stamp the lower border.

Pretty?

My Christmas Retreat Projects

In today's post, I'd like to share my Christmas Retreat projects with you.  They're all done with lots of Cherry Cobbler... a wonderful color for Christmas.

I've kept the calendar simple, so there's room to add a photo or two.

Our Fry Box Die makes a fun and easy project to hold treats.

This is one of our tiny gift boxes.  I'm using it as an ornament, but it could easily hold a surprise gift inside, too.

This treat holder is a favorite of mine.  It's easy to cut, score and put together.

Here are all the projects again:

French Fry Die: Makes the Cutest Little Treat Boxes Ever

I promised I'd share our 3-D project from my Summer Stamping Party.  It was made with our new french fry die and I just love it!

Aren't these cute!  Our gusseted cello bags work perfectly to go around them and keep in all the little contents.  I've used Crushed Curry, added some black gift bag filler, some creme mints (love the zebra print!) and added some funny little googlie eyes.  We tied up our treat bags with some black taffeta ribbon.

We made the one above at the party.  I've made more ... lots more ... for my studio ... and added a few made with our Back to Black DSP.
