Today’s project is a two-fer. I found these cute little packs of “gourmet gum” at Fresh Market and thought they would make great little gifts. I haven’t tasted them yet, but I’m thinking they might be pretty tasty. I mean, birthday cake and front porch lemonade? Yum! I made these gum holders for them: one using the Celebration Time Bundle and Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper (DSP,) and the other using the Lemon Zest Bundle and Tutti-frutti DSP.

Stamped with the Lemon Zest stamp set:

• lemons in Daffodil Delight ink onto a scrap of Daffodil Delight CS
• leaves in Wild Wasabi ink onto Wild Wasabi CS
• NOTE: I added a black dot at the bottom of each lemon with a black marker.

Die cut using the Celebration Thinlits:

• cake sentiment
• bow from a scrap of Berry Burst CS

Cut using the Lemon Builder Punch:

• lemons and leaves

Assembled the holders:

• burnished the folds in the two CS bases with a Bone Folder
• folded down the top right corner of each CS base and burnished the fold with a Bone Folder
• Fresh Florals DSP glued onto the inside of the Tempting Turquoise CS base, and folded over the corner so the DSP showed on the outside
• Tutti-frutti DSP (stripes) glued onto the inside of the Wild Wasabi CS base, and folded over the corner so the DSP showed on the outside
• Tutti-frutti DSP (fruit) glued onto the front of the Wild Wasabi CS base, the top right corner not showing under the folded over corner of the base
• Used a small bit of adhesive under the corners to keep them folded down.
• bottom and side edges of the inside of the front of each CS base glued to the back of the bases
• die cut cake glued onto the front of the Tempting Turquoise CS base
• bow put together and glued onto the top of the cake
• rhinestone applied to the center of the bow
• lemons and leaves glued together, then adhered to the Tutti-frutti DSP (fruit) using Stampin’ Dimensionals
• inserted the gum packs into the holders
