Custom Cookie Favors

Hello crafting friends! I created some cookie favors using these fabulous clear boxes from DeNami Design! They were so easy using some pretty designer paper from Basic Grey and a few handmade tags! The purses and high heel shoes stamps are from DeNami Design's Mimi Collection and I thought they would be so cute for the tags...I came up with a fun little sentiment we ladies can all understand--"Eat Cookies, Buy Shoes!" and "Eat Cookies, Buy Purses!" ...because no matter how many cookies we eat, we can always fit into a cute pair of shoes with an adorable handbag on our arm! Can I get an amen! Each box has 3 chocolate chip cookies wrapped in clear saran wrap with pink crimped paper shreds around them. I tied each tag around the top with silver wire cord to finish. I see endless possibilities for these clear boxes, which come in a variety of different shapes--so fun!!! Just think of all the occasions...Baby and Wedding showers, Wedding and Graduation receptions, Summer Family Reunions and High School Reunions--see, so many possibilities! Thanks so much for stopping in--hope you found some inspiration! Hugs and Happy Stamping!

PS- Nope, I didn't bake these--they're Chips Ahoy cookies straight outta the package, hehe!

Rub-Ons on Glass Make Cheap Gifts!

Here's The Run-down:

• glass bowl thingie from JoAnns- .99 cents


• yogurt covered pretzels- $1


• white Love & Happiness rub-ons from Stampin' Up!-free!


• lovely ivory satin ribbon for around base of scallop top-free from my sweet pal Donna!


• gingham ribbon and flowers from old stash, so...yep, you guessed it-free!


• silver hodgepodge hardware kit brad---okay, so I bought the new HPH tin from SU!, but not so fast...I broke it down and realized that with 200 pieces in this kit at $30, that's only .15 cents per piece, YES!

Total Cost of Project: $2.51 and that's with the treat!

Not bad, huh! See, you can pour the treats into the dish for a pretty munchies display and use it for something else later! And those SU! rub-ons are like butter, so easy to put on even a rounded dish--wow!!! Thanks so much for popping in today!

Try an Envelope Pouch!

Happy Monday, friends! Today, I tried a new technique called an envelope pouch, which you can find at SplitCoast's Technique Lovers Challenge. It was SO easy and several can be made in no time at all! I used Embrace Life stamp set from SU! with coordinating Groovy Guava ink and Theater ribbon for the handle. The orange brads are super cool and sugarcoated and I added an orange bring flower to the center of the stamped flower. A quick tag and done! I encourage you to make your own envelope pouch too and don't forget to post it at SCS for everyone to enjoy! ~hugs and happy stamping~

Mini Heart Baskets

I made these fun heart shaped treat baskets using the pattern found here: http://www.ruthannzaroff.com

These are super easy, but they are pretty small so I suggest enlarging the template to 200% (or any size you desire) before printing it if you want them larger. Dashing designer paper from SU! and soft, bright red fibers were used for a nice flair. Make some today for the sweethearts in your life!
