Candy Kiss Packages

Hello Stamping Friends!

Today I have some fun candy packages to share with you that I created using stamps from the Crafty Doodle Chick shop!!


Here are all the packages I created:

Aren't they fun??!!

I haven't created these cute little candy kiss packages in awhile!!  My aunt recently asked me to make eight of them for her to give her co-works for Valentine's Day!!

-----

How to create these fun packages:

1. Cut your main piece of cardstock 4 1/2" x 4 1/4".  (If you don't plan to use an edger along the sides, you can cut the paper 4" x 4 1/4")

2.  Trim each side with an edger.

3.  If you'd like to add a piece of of pattern paper, cut that at 3" x 4 1/4" and adhere to the main side. (Just to let you know, this may be slightly different, depending on the edger you use)

Here is a look at all eight of mine before I scored them:

The top four I used just pattern paper, the bottom for a used a piece of pattern paper and then added stamped hearts!!  I used the How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-On and Rawr stamp sets for the fun heart images!!

4. Then score each piece at 3/4", 1 3/4" and 3". (Be sure your pattern paper is facing the way you would like before scoring!)

5. Add your KISSES!! I put a little glue dot on the bottom of each to keep them in place!

6. Add adhesive as shown:

7. Close-up your package!!

8. Decorate!!

Close-Up of three of the packages:

I added a sentiment, twine and some bling to each of the packages!  Some of them I also added a button!

The fun 'happy HEART DAY' sentiment is from the How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-On stamp set!!

The 'HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY' sentiment is also from the How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-On stamp set!

I just love these cute little packages!!

They are so fun and easy to create!!

Candy Packages with GI

Happy Thursday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog once again!

This entire week on the GI Blog we are sharing Valentine Candy Packaging!
What fun!!

Today I am sharing 3 packages I created, that hold Hersey Kisses inside!

I just love these packages!!

On the two back packages, I stamped the H172 Swirls of Hearts on patterned paper, to add some extra pattern.   A nice added touch!!

Here's a look at the stamped paper:

Super fun to do!

A look at one of the packages close up:

I used the B188 I Luv You stamp for my sentiment on all three packages.

A side view to see the candies:

Whoo Hoo Wed. with IBS

It's time for me to create another Whoo Hoo Wednesday for Inspired By Stamping!!

Whoo Hoo!!

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I've decided to create some adorable little Candy Kiss Packages!!

They're so fun and pretty simple to create!  I used the new Cute Circles and Hearts set for the package above.

---------------

 How to create theses packages:

1. Cut your main piece of cardstock 4 1/2" x 4 1/4". (If you don't plan to use an edger punch along the sides, you can cut the paper 4" x 4 1/4")

2. Trim each side with an edger punch.

3. If you'd like to add another piece of paper, cut that at 3" x 4 1/4" and adhere to your main side.

4.  Then score at 3/4", 1 3/4" and 3".

5. Add your KISSES!! :) I put a little glue dot on the bottom of each to adhere them.

6. Add adhesive as shown..

7. Close up your package!

8. Decorate to your desire!!

---------------

Here's a look at a few more close-up:

For the first three here I used the Hearts set from IBS.

If you've purchased stamps from IBS, have you had a chance to use the cut files if you have a die cutting machine?  Joanna has been so nice to offer free cutting files for almost all of her stamps!  I just love it!

I used some lovely Cream Crochet Lace on this package!

I added some beautiful Red Satin Ribbon to this package!

Lastly, I created this packaging using the Delicate Doilies II, Just Because and Cute Circles sets.

I hope you've enjoyed learning how to create these cute little packages!  I sure enjoyed creating them!

Hope you have a great day!

Good morning!

I have a My Thoughts Exactly project to share with you today.

For this project I used stamp sets Sweet Thoughts and Many Thanks:

The love and kisses sentiments are from the Sweet Thoughts set and the heart is from the Many Thanks set.  I thought they were perfect for a valentine's treat package!!

And the package holds candy kisses!!

I used the stamps to create my own v-day paper!! 

I really like how it turned out!

The paper:

Before                                           After

 And lastly, I used some of my Creative Inspirations Paint to add shimmer to the paper!!

You can always check on the MTE Blog for some wonderful inspiration from all the DT members!!


Have a wonderful day!

IBS Sneak Peek Day 1

Good morning stampers!! 

Ready for some sneak peek's for the January release?  I hope so, because Joanna, owner of Inspired By Stamping, has 4 new sets that are being released this month! Each of us were given one stamp set to work with and showcase!!

The set I received is called Hearts!  And all I can say is I LOVE this set!!

With that being said, I decided to make some treats for my first sneak peek.
(As you will tell, I had a lot fun, so sorry for some many projects!!)

For this first one, I used the "Sweet Valentine" sentiment along with a few of the heart stamps.  I used the hearts to create my own paper!  So perfect for Valentine's day!!

Here's a quick look at the paper before I used it to create the package:

(Sorry it was taken at night in my scrap room, so the colors are a little off)

I just love this sentiment..."a little treat for someone sweet"...

 Perfect for those sweet packages of goodies!!

These packages hold four candy kisses!!

I also was inspired to create some little sucker packages/covers/holders...not sure what to exactly call them, but they are so simple and fun to make.

Don't want to think about it, but my little guy will be in pre-school next year and these will be such a fun idea to make for all the kids on Valentine's Day!

 A close-up of each of the packages:

I used some of my Creative Inspirations Paint to add shimmer to the hears!

 The inside:

...a yummy heart sucker!!

And one last quick project, this was a spur of the moment, so it is very quick and simple, but I wanted to share just to give you some more ideas!!

The kids and I made some yummy cupcakes the other day!  After frosting them I thought it would be fun to quickly make a few cupcake toppers!
