Clear and Simple Stamps January Style Watch - Week 3

Hey there Style Watchers!

So sorry about my late post today. I hope you'll forgive me once you get a peek at today's awesomely fun project!


I may be getting a little ahead of myself with today's group of projects, but I simply could not resist a little St. Patrick's Day crafting when I got a hold of this month's release package. 



Among the many newly released sets is the Lucky Charm stamp set, which is a much needed addition to my collection. I didn't own any St. Patrick's Day themed stamps before Lucky Charm, and this set totally fills in the gap!



It's full of adorable and punny sentiments, as well as, a rainbow image that goes perfectly with the pot o' gold image included in the previously released Taglines set - don't you just love that each release works so perfectly with one another. 



Today's project showcases a card and two treat packages. I got creative with my Build-a-Critters: Owl/Kitty and my Party Favor #1 die cuts to create a pot o' gold treat bag that is simply "charming"...

Today's trio of treats came together with just a few die cuts and stamps. Here's a peek at the finished products!

For each piece of this ensemble, I used stamps from Lucky Charm and Taglines. These two sets are a match made in papercrafting heaven!

For the card, I stamped the rainbow image from Lucky Charm along with the pot o' gold from Taglines! Weren't they just made for each other ?! A little coloring finished off this simple notecard.

Now for the details on making the treat containers! I wanted to create two containers that mimicked the images on the card. 

I started off my making an adorable pot o' gold gift bag! You won't believe how simple these are to make!

First I die cut the Party Favor #1 die with black cardstock (not shown). Next, I die cut two of the Owl/Kitty body shapes. Here's what I mean...

Step one was to create the die cuts -easy peasy.

 

Next, I trimmed 1 1/2" off the top of each die cut and rounded the top corners on the remaining bottom portion. This bottom portion became my "pot." 

 

Then I adhered the cuts on either side of the Party #1 favor bag. Voila! You've got your own adorable pot o' gold! I filled my bag with chocolate coins which I picked up at Party City.

Of course my pot o' gold needed a rainbow, so I created one very simply by arranging a spectrum of jelly beans in a small plastic tube!  Topped off with a tag and the perfect sentiment, these treat containers are the perfect pair!

 That's all from me today! I hope these project get you in the spirit to be creative with your Build-A-Critter dies! The possibilities are endless!
