A Little Bit Country!
With Father's Day fast approaching I decided to add a little bit of country to this card. Making masculine cards is usually the most difficult. I chose this stamp set because what guy doesn't love his truck!
I used Cheery Cobbler CS for the card base, Stamped image from the "Countryside" stamp set on Confetti White CS and mounted on Crumb Cake CS. Side tag using the Decorative Label Punch and stamped the greeting "Happy Fathers Day" from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink and punched it out with the Word Window Punch. Image was coloured in using the best product ever! Stampin' Up! Watercolour Wonder Crayons from the Brights Collection, and Neutrals Collection using the Aqua paint brush. I then stamped the rolling apple image for the Countryside stamp set and punched it out using the new Postage Punch from the New Summer Mini catalogue, then added a bit of gross grain ribbon behind the front of the card.
Card dimensions are 5" x 5"

Candy Bag in a box Wedding Favours!
Oh so sweet and Pretty in Pink!
As promised here are the pictures of the candy table from the wedding I attended yesterday!
I used Soft pink polk-a-dot, Melon Mambo, Whisper White CS. Whisper White Satin Ribbon, the word "Love" stamped in Versa mark and embossed in Basic Black, large oval punch for the tags.
This was my first wedding ... and as you can see there was a whole lot of bags! 160 in all
The candy bar was a huge success and enjoyed by all ... hats off to the bride for such a great and fun idea
Congratulations to Daniel & Shannon White!
Simple Directions on how to make a bag in a box:
1 piece of DSP or CS 4"x 9"
1 piece of CS 3" X 3" Score all 4 sides 1", fold on all score lines, cut slits on all 4 sides up to score line, apply adhesive on all 4 tabs and adhere to form your box which will be your base
apply adhesive down one side of the 4" and along the bottom of the 9" side lay flat and take the box and roll it along the 4 x 9 DSP and it will form the bag
1 piece of 1" x 9" use a scallop border stamp a sentiment and adhere to the bag at the bottom
Punch out 2 large ovals fold in half and punch a small hole for the ribbon to go through and attach to the bag one on each side
1 piece of Whisper White ribbon 8"
Add a tag or sentiment with Curly Label Extra large Punch and a small bow
