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!!
Be sure to check out all the lovely products the Crafty Doodle Chick shop carries!!

Have a lovely day!

First up I am showcasing the lovely new Cup of Cheer stamp set!

 I'm not a coffee drinker, but am a sucker for Hot Cocoa!!  So I was so super excited to see this new stamp set!!!  My kids are just like me and love hot cocoa, so when I was creating this card my son even got a little chuckle from the set!

I stamped the mug a few times, so I could paper piece it!  Here is a close-up:

 Isn't it adorable?!  I just love all the fun layers!!  I used the coordinating Mug Die to die cut the whipped topping, to add foam dots to, to also add some dimension to the mug!

I also featured a lovely new piece of paper!   I absolutely love the blue and orange plaid design!  It's on the back of the Joyful Bloom paper!  I also used a piece of Bright Pumpkin paper!!

---

There aren't too many wines that I really like, but I have a select few that I absolutely love!  And occasionally love to have when I craft or sit around with the family around the fireplace playing games!  And LOVE to have with girlfriends or during family functions!

So I was beyond excited to see the new Totally Tracy Always Wine Time stamp set!  So for my first project, I decided to create a wine tag:

 I just love the sentiment!  It's so very true!!

Close-up:

I used some Artzy Doodles paper to create this tag!!  I love the designs and absolutely LOVE that each piece has a strip along the bottom that can be used as well!  

So fun!!

Trendy Twine Star

Hello followers!

I have one final post as a Guest Designer for Trendy Twine today!!  I've really enjoyed Guest Designing this month!

For my card today, I decided to create a quick masculine card:

I used my die cutting machine to cut the star out of my cardstock and then added the Blue Berry Trendy Twine behind!

Along with a little wrapped around the card over the washi tape.

Close-up:

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from my Mason Jar Add On II set from Inspired By Stamping!

I thought it was a fun look!!

Have a wonderful day!

Trendy Twine & CI Rainbow

Hello Everyone!

It's my day to guest design on the Trendy Twine Blog again!!

I am so excited to share my card with you today!

When I was asked to Guest Design I knew exactly what I wanted to do for one of my posts, as it's been on my mind for awhile now, but haven't gotten to it.

I wanted to use my Trendy Twine to create a rainbow!

I really like how it turned out!!

I used Peppermint Stick, Orangesicle, Lemon Tart, Twisted Lime, Blue Berry and Grape Fizz!

I used the twine to create the rainbow and then finished it off my adding some Creative Inspirations Paint in Fairy Dust to give the finished rainbow some shimmer!!

 I really like all the different colors of Trendy Twine!!

Have a wonderful day!!
