Good Thursday! It's a FREEZING day here in Iowa. Highs are supposed to be 20 and with windchill, it's supposed to feel like 2! Yes, I said 2! Brrr..tonight I travel for a card class and as much as I am looking forward to it, I hate having to go in and out of the warmth. But I suck it up each time because I LOVE IT! Here are the final two projects that were made at our Hostess Appreciation party this past weekend. The above are our Clear Tiny Treat Boxes. I cut and scored Candy Cane DSP to actually fit INSIDE the boxes. Once that was in, I covered the top of the box with another piece on the outside of the lid, and punched a hole through it to thread the Kraft Rope Trim in to make it an ornament to hang on the tree to hold little treats. My mind was churning with the idea of how awesome this would be to make 25 of these and make an Advent calendar of sorts and hang on the wall or on the tree. Anyway, it's a thought at this point. :) I stamped out the sentiment from the Candy Cane Christmas stamp set which is on sale this week for $14.40 (from $18.00), onto Whisper White card stock with Early Expresso ink and punched them out with the 2" Circle Punch. I added a little heart from the Owl Builder Punch.
This was the highlight, for most, of the all projects. SUPER SIMPLE! I painted Mod Podge onto a glass bowl and then scooped and scooped lots of Epsom Salt all over it, let it dry and then sprayed a Clear Glaze Sealant all over it to set the salt. Then hot glued some retired buttons and ribbon on to make it a snowman. Inside is a tea light candle.
Well, I am going 110 miles per hour trying to stay caught up with tasks, so I hope you enjoy the projects and have time to try them sometime!
