Basket Bunch Milk Cartons

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

We had a cold weekend but the sunshine was much welcomed!

This week we are in for a nice spring warm up!

I'm hoping to get out and walk or bike ride in the evenings!

Today is my cleaning day so before I get started on that I wanted to share with you some milk carton treats I made for an order. 

These milk carton boxes are the perfect size and each is filled with Dove Milk Chocolate candies by request of the customer.

Project Details:

Stamps: Basket Bunch (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Various DSP in Balmy Blue & Blushing Bride (retired)

Accessories: Ornate Frames Dies, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Basket Bunch Framelits (retired), Gold Gems, Gold Clips (retired), Blushing Bride & Balmy Blue Ribbons (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The boxes came together nicely but it took me a bit to diecut all those little pieces to decorate them!

The finished treat box turned out very nice and I hope my customer likes them!

I know she will love the chocolate inside as it's her favorite!

Easter 2014

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I took a few days off from posting to do some cleaning out of my stamp room and also work on some upcoming projects. Somewhere along the lines I lost some of my mojo and maybe that is from the nice, sunshiney weather we are having. Life will be a bit busy this upcoming week with putting a fence up for the doggies and also Easter coming so quickly! I am hosting Easter dinner here for the family since I have the room for it but my Mom is doing the cooking. She insisted! Kirsten is in charge of the veggies and I am in charge of the desserts! Haha!

Anyways, with that being said my posts might be a bit sporadic the next week or so but I promise once Easter is over i'll be back on a more normal schedule. :)

So, today I wanted to share a few Easter things that I made.

Let's get started!

These were all fun to make! I made up about 40 milk cartons for the ladies at Kirsten's work in different designs. The cards I made for family & friends. I sat down one day and just started to play with the Easter images. For once I did not use a challenge to make a card. I like to do the challenges for they give me a place to start at making a card and they also make you think outside of the box and sometimes I really need that direction to help me create.

I'm pleased with all of it and of course I will share more pictures of the Easter goodies in the coming week.

That's all for today!

If you need to know something about what I used for these projects please shoot me an email. It's just way to much to list.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Yep, More Halloween!

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Today I am sharing a few more things I made yesterday for Halloween. I'm on a roll so i'm going to keep it going! LOL

Here we go!!

I recently purchased the Sizzix Milk Carton Die off of Ebay because I was able to get it cheaper than what it was priced in the Stampin Up catty. Yeah me! :) So, I thought i'd get some use out of it by making some Halloween ones. I dug thru my Halloween papers and got to work.

The first ones I made I used a glittery foam ghost sticker I had purchased at Micheal's last week then I added the little BOO from Spooky Bingo Bits retired set. The ghost paper I had in my stach and if I remember correctly, it was from Imaginations. I added Library Clips to the top of each box to hold shut. I did not glue them shut yet as I have not found any Halloween candy to put in them yet. 

The second 2 cartons I use paper from Hobby Lobby/The Paper Studio that I picked up last year so i'm not sure if it's still available. The stamps I used on this one was from a hostess set last year in the Holiday Mini called Mixed Medley. I love this little spider web and the sentiment, Treats for Boo! I popped them up on the cartons and added rhinestones for some interest. Then on both sets of cartons I added bows with the Pumpkin Pie & Basic Black 1/8 inch Taffeta Ribbon. Love that stuffz!

I did not put the recipe on here how to make these so if you need to know something shoot me an email!

Well, I am off to make deviled eggs for my brother's get together tomorrow for Labor Day. After that I plan to hit the stamp table a bit more. Thinking of making some Pizza Boxes and since i'm on a roll I don't want to break the momentum!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!!
