Who Doesn't love a Reese's Egg?

Who doesn't love a Reese's Egg? I know I love them!!

I wanted to create a box that would perfectly fit a Reese's Egg. I must say being a math teacher came in handy when trying to figure out the dimensions. I used a 5.5 by 7 inch piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock. I scored the 7 inch side at 1, 3, 4, and 6 inches. I scored the 5.5 inch side at 1 and 4.5 inches. I then cut along the score lines on each of the 7 inch sides up to the 1 inch score lines to create my box.

I added a belly band in Pool Party to hold my box closed. If you want to create this box make sure the belly band is not to tight as you want it to slide easily off.

I used a *retired* stamp set called Festive Four. I dont make a lot of Easter projects so I don't buy a lot of Easter stamps so I used one I already had. Don't worry as you could easily substitute any smaller sized Easter stamp you own instead. I colored in my image using a blender pen and ink pads in Pool Party, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, and Pear Pizzazz. I popped this up on a dimensional.

Here is a look inside the box:

Happy Stamping until next time!

Valentine Mouse Treat Holder

I am sticking with my color theme of Real Red and Blushing Bride for my Valentine projects. I saw this treat holder on Scrap and Stamp with Frenchie using the new scalloped tag topper and thought it was adorable. I did change it up slightly... I made mine big enough to hold three of the Ghirardelli squares instead of one and I think maybe I used Smoky Slate and she used Going Gray... but I could be wrong about the color. The length for mine was 8 inches and it was a perfect size for three squares. If you haven't tried either of the tag toppers you really should. They make creating a tag as easy as punch (lol- get it!).

I didn't want the chocolate falling out so I tied Pool Party ribbon around them and then used a glue dot to hold them in place. I had to work in my third color somehow so this was perfect.

See you later:)

Valentine Treat Box

I made this treat box for my daughter's teachers. I love how it turned out and it is perfect to use for Paper Players Theme Challenge this week. Anne Marie's theme was to create a Valentine card or 3-D item. The idea for the box is from Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie. She has a great video linked to help you make one of your own. I did a snowman themed one a few years ago and decided I wanted to do another this year. The box holds 10 Hershey Nuggets.

My colors are Pool Party, Real Red, and Blushing Bride. I used some DSP to add a layer to the top of the box and to cover the nuggets. My stamp sets were It's a Wrap Holidays, P.S. I Love You, and A Round Array. I think the first two are retired and it really is okay to mix new and old... it isn't like we don't all have stamps we already own and I don't want to feel like I can't use them... so I do! If you don't have It's a Wrap set you could easily cover those two nuggests with Whisper White cardstock and punch a heart from the Owl Builder punch to add on top. If you don't have P.S. I Love You how about stamping the Woodgrain Background stamp set on some Whisper White cardstock and then punch out a Full Heart.
