Nugget Tins

I decorated these nugget tins to give to my club members for Christmas.  These are so easy to make!  All I did was wrap Hershey nuggets in the Candy Cane Specialty DSP from the mini catalog and decorated a band to go around the tin.  You could make this even simpler by tying a ribbon with a tag around the nugget tin, instead of using card stock and DSP like I did.

Stamp set: Tags till Christmas
Paper: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Blush Blossom card stock, Candy Cane DSP
Ink: Garden Green Classic ink
Accessories: 1 ¼”, 1 3/8”, and scallop circle punches, 5/8” Real Red Grsograin ribbon, Clear tinsel trim, Sticky Strip, SNAIL adhesive, Glue dots, Paper trimmer, Craft & Paper scissors, nugget tin, Hershey nuggets

Hard to believe there are only 9 days left until Christmas. Have fun stampin’ and creatin’ your Christmas projects!

Mini Milk Carton

Happy Memorial Day weekend! I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Here’s another project using the Mini Milk Carton die. I used a window sheet from the retired Night & Day Speciality paper from the 2009-2010 Holiday Mini catalog. The window sheet is thick so you should use a bone folder to fold on the score lines.




I used Sticky Strip to adhere the milk carton but it wouldn’t hold the back of the carton closed (behind the flower), so I used a brad to close it. I adhered the Sweet Pea stitched felt flower with glue dots, filled the carton with pink and green Skittles, and there you have it, a very simple but cute project.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great long weekend, and have fun stampin’ and creatin’!
