A Little Something

Stampin up pink flamingo matchbox duo  

I needed a quick, "little something" for two friends who hosted a garden tea party today.  Very fun and chic!  These Hershey Nugget boxes are always a hit.  The Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper was bright and cheerful . . . the perfect way to package chocolate goodies.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up matchbox messages scallop Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper  was cut to 3" x 1 1/6" to make a darling wrap around each nugget.
  • The butterfly rhinestone is from a clear rhinestone brad. 
  • I prefer textured card for the matchbox base . . . it's heftier than designer paper.
  • The Real Red Satin Ribbon is part of a collection of nine delicious colors in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.
MOJO MONDAY AND A SUMMER MINI SNEAK PEEK:  My Mojo Monday design and Julee's latest sketch will be up bright and early and ready to challenge you tomorrow a.m.  You'll get an early peek at one of the Summer Mini stamp sets, TOO.

  3. Geez Mary, you raise the bar with every entry! I love looking at your site each day, for inspiration and ideas. I’ve started asking myself, “What would Mary do?” when I’m not totally satisfied with my creations. I never quite achieve your level of expertise, but you’re helping me develop my skills. Thanks SO much for the constant push!

    Hi Priscilla: I had to chuckle with your comment: What would Mary do? Honestly, I think the “art” of paper crafting and stamping comes down to practice. That’s what keeps my ideas sharp . . . not something in my DNA. Very achievable for anyone 🙂 Hugs, M

  4. Thanks for the tip about using textured paper for the matchbox base — it makes sense, and I love the textured papers!
