Bananas For You

Happy New Year!!!

I hope you had a safe celebration last night and prayers and hopes for a bright 2018!

We have grandchildren and great grandchildren that we send goodies to for Valentines Day and I've been playing with our Steel Rule Milk Carton die to make a goody holder.  Here's one I played with this week....


I purchased this die during our 12 Days of Deals and watched a video about it and started playing with an idea.   I started with a sheet of our Limeade Splash card stock and carefully scored ALL lines (we were told in the video to not forget the diagonal lines).  I determined where I wanted to die cut the little heart (using our Heart-Felt die set) and also die cut a heart out of a piece of our new Spring Filled Prints (I'll get the link added when I get home from work at noon). I carefully figured out the placement of the plaid piece and trimmed to fit.  I added a piece of our Clear View Sheet to the print piece THEN I assembled the carton. I stapled the top with our Silver staples and used the ribbon from the candy bag. I added the little Mini Wooden Clothespin for fun.


I purchased some banana shaped candies for this idea and I put them in a little baggie  and put it in the carton through the bottom. No need to tape shut for such a light item.


I used a retired set called Punny Stuff as I love this for little kids.  I added a store purchased paper straw for effect.

This was a hoot to make and I love how it came out!

Today is the start of our Launch Party for our Bloom This Way Mini!  I'll make a post both here and on my Stampin Hot With Carol FB page as soon as I get home from work.  And don't forget to check out this month's sale!!  Head over to my FSJ Specials page for the info!
