My Aunt Lisa came over to Stamp with me today, we had a couple of fun projects to work on. My Art Center meeting is this week and I wanted to take a little St. Patty’s Day treat to the ladies at the meeting so I was working on that while she was here. This is what I came up with – If you’re going to be at the meeting and want to be surprised don’t read this until after the meeting!!! π
I found the idea for these adorable little "Wrapped Candy" boxes on Splitcoast. They look just like a little wrapped candy – they’re so yummy looking I could eat ’em up!! They are quick and VERY simple to make. I used the Green colors of paper out of our Petals & Paisleys Designer Series Paper from the Spring Mini.
It’s not in the picture but, I filled the boxes with Golden Gum Coins and tied a tag onto each box with this poem…
The Leprechauns of Ireland
Bring a special gift your way
It’s full of love and happiness
On this St. Patrick’s Day
And along with good wishes
From this merry little group
Comes a little something special
Some Leprechaun Loot!
I created a template out of plastic to make these boxes go together even quicker – We’ll be making these boxes at the "Ink"redible Stamp Camp at the end of March and everyone will get to take their own plastic template home!! These boxes are great for so many different things: Birthday or Shower Favors, Christmas Candy, Halloween, the possibilities are endless.
While Lisa was over here we also worked on her Invitations for our Family Easter – The cards turned out SO cute! you can see an example in the Your Creations! photo album.
Happy Stampin’
