I know what your all saying, non chocolate treats? where's the fun in them.
Believe it or not some people dont like chocolate ?????
I know I'm definately not one of them (as she pops another Thorntons continental in her mouth.)
Anyway, I've been asked to make some little gifts for the non-chocoholics among us.
Anyway, I've been asked to make some little gifts for the non-chocoholics among us.
Here's what I made....What do you think?
They are little peek a boo treat boxes.
I got the instructions from a Splitcoast Stampers Tutorial
But instead of filling with sweet treats, I filled with decorated tealight candles.
I had to adjust the sizing and scoring from the tutorial, to fit them in.
My card was cut to 4 1/2 inches x 12 inches and scored to a depth of 3/4 inch.
If anyone wants the exact measurements, etc, just let me know and I'll do a quick tutorial.
I used nice bright springy colours and decorated this one with a butterfly, cut with Spellbinder dies.
This is the peek a boo bit, under the top lid is an acetate covered scallop circle, so that you can see whats inside.
I decorated these tealights with butterflies to match.
These two are decorated with punched flowers atop layered Nesties
I used patterned card for these, so didnt decorate inside.
In one I decorated the tealights with flowers,
coloured with Promarkers and glitter pens.
And the second with cute little birdies.
I enjoyed making these, I hope they sell well tomorrow, then I can make more.
Thanks for looking
