If you ever need a sweet (and fast) way to present a small treat or gift, this adorable little diaper fold treat holder is perfect. You can insert candies, tea bags, cash, jewelry, or anything else small. I made this one from a piece of Tropical Escape 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – I love the pinks and greens in this paper! The sentiment is from the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set. I stuffed the treat holder full of Key Lime hard candies that I got from Amazon.com.
The diaper fold takes mere seconds! The rest depends on how fancy you want it decorated. This one took less than 5 minutes total.
Here’s what I made:

It’s time for the OSAT Blog Hop for August! This month we’re doing a Tic Tac Toe challenge. We must choose three items in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and include all three on our projects. I used the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies to create this card and gift container. The container came with cashews in it. Cashews would make a nice little gift, but since I ate the cashews already (they were honey roasted – how could I not?) I washed out the container and now it’s ready for candies or a small gift.
I’ve included a Holiday catalog sneak peek. The wood grain paper is from the new Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper, which is part of the new Festive Farmhouse suite. If you can’t wait until September 5 to order from the Holiday catalog, click here to join my team now. You can add the new products to your Starter Kit, and then you can order them on a demonstrator order!
Here’s the Tic Tac Toe challenge:
I went with the left column: Ribbon, DSP, Flowers.
First I used Gray Granite 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon on the card. Then I used Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper (DSP) on both the card and the container. And I used flowers (Crushed Curry dots) along the bottom of both projects.
The idea is that the critters are flying over a field of yellow flowers with a wooden barn or house in the background. At least that’s what I was going for.
Here’s what I made:

It’s time for the July OSAT Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Creature Comforts. and we’re featuring animal themed projects. For my projects today, I used the Kindness & Compassion stamp set with the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum to create a thank you card and a box for the bird lover in your life.
There is an accidental technique used on these projects. I colored the vellum on the back with Stampin’ Write Markers and let them dry. Then I used a sponge to spread glue all over the back, and the ink smeared and created a marbled effect. I liked it so much that I repeated it on the second one.
Here’s what I made:

The Silver Gable Boxes are so pretty and so versatile. Don’t you just love products like that? Today I’ve decorated one for a bridesmaid’s gift. One stamp, an embossing folder, and some ribbon turned the simple box into a frilly gift, full of nail polish, lip glass, etc. – all pink of course.
Here’s what I made:

I always have bottled water at my events, and when I have time, I like to decorate the bottles. You can do this for any event. Today’s project is a bottle I decorated for a graduation party. The colors I used are Fresh Fig and Crushed Curry (garnet & gold) but of course you can use any colors you want. The Banners for You stamp set is perfect for this occasion, and for many others. And the Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies cut out the stamp set’s banners like a charm.
How do you like the mortar board, complete with tassel?
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Crushed Curry card stock (CS) cut to 9″ x 3-1/2″
Fresh Fig CS cut to 9″ x 3″
Fresh Fig CS cut to 3″ x 3″
Fresh Fig CS cut to 1-1/4″ x 5″, then scored 1/4″ from one of the long sides
Stamped with the Banners for you stamp set:
banner in Crushed Curry ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS
sentiments in Fresh Fig ink on the banner
Die cut using the Bunch of Banners Framelits:
banner
Assembled the project:
burnished the fold in the Fresh Fig CS strip with a Bone Folder
snipped all along the length, across the 1/4″ strip, up to the score line, using Paper Snips
wrapped the strip around the top of the bottle to gauge the size (not too tight) then glued the ends together – do not adhere to the bottle or its cap.
folded all the snipped bits in and glued them onto the center of the 3″ square piece of Fresh Fig CS
tied a piece of gold ribbon onto a gold tassel, then adhered it to the top of the cap using Tear & Tape
adhered a 1/4″ punched circle of Fresh Fig CS over the center of the top of the cap, over the end of the ribbon, using a Mini Glue Dot
adhered the large piece of Crushed Curry CS around the bottle using Tear & Tape
adhered the large piece of Fresh Fig CS on top of the Crushed Curry CS using Tear & Tape
glued the banner onto the Fresh Fig CS
NOTE: I used rubber bands to hold the banner on until the glue dried completely
NOTE: Adhere the two large pieces of CS to the bottle separately. If you adhere them together, then wrap them around the bottle, they will pull apart.
