Do you hate to throw things away? For example our buttons or brad containers? I am always stashing stuff like that away because I know I can find a use for it some day 🙂 Go with me here…I know some of you can relate!
So, long story short I made this little candy holder out of the leftover piece from the Mini Lunch Sack. I cut the lunch sack at 4-3/8 for the Treat Bag and the piece leftover is for this project. It holds a gift card perfectly and it will even hold a Ghirardelli chocolate or a Hershey/Kit Kat Bar.
I used Early Espresso card stock with Very Vanilla. I embossed it with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and sponged some Soft Suede over it (my replacement for close to cocoa or creamy caramel). Next I sponged some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint over it.
The “Joy at Christmas” is from the Perfect Punches stamp set & I stamped it twice. I punched the center out with the 1-1/4 Circle Punch & added it with a Dimensional. Did you see the little pearl?
I’ve made a video on how to make the one for my Halloween Class, click here if you’d like to watch it on my Chic n Scratch Live! website.
