Snowman Soup Kit

{jane bosi}  Happy Wednesday, Sweet Friends!  I have to admit, I'm still a gifting kind of mood!  I love to think up fun little gifts to give the people in my life! And sometimes, I just love the process of creating a dimensional item like a box or this test tube tote!

The Test Tube holder has long been a favorite project of mine.  I loosely followed THIS TUTORIAL from Splitcoaststampers.  I say loosely because my test tubes are considerably smaller than the ones used in the tutorial.  I had to adjust some of the measurements, but it worked out just fine.  These tubes were perfect, however, for me to create this very special Snowman Soup Kit!

The blustery days of winter here in Central Wisconsin make hot cocoa the perfect any time drink!  Each tube can be filled with 1) Cocoa 2) Mini Marshmellows 3) Tiny chocolate chips or crushed peppermint candies!

To complete the project, SNSS's Snowman Soup with matching dies are just perfect!!  And, to make it even easier, you can also get these super fantastic images in digital format....RIGHT AWAY!  Images used are:  Snowman in Mug and Snowman Soup.  Go on......get inky!

Be awesome!  TTFN  Jane

2 cards and a journal

 

Hello SNSS friends... happy Tuesday!

 

Today I have a couple of completely different projects to share!  First I have a card I recently made using my Snowman Soup stamp set (It now has matching dies!). 

 

 

I wanted to create a “hot cocoa” background…boy was that a challenge!  lol.  But I liked how it turned out. I just "smooshed" ink onto a craft mat, spritzed with water, and laid my cardstock on top.  My snowy guy was colored with Copics and popped up.  I masked off the word “you” in my sentiment and replaced it with a big diecut word.  Then I stamped a few extra marshmallows to float in my chocolately background.

 

My next card is for an anniversary and I used my Prim Blessings stamp set which ALSO has new matching dies…

And last I have a super quick journal I decorated.  I used the Sweet 'n Sassy sets called Wildflowers and His Peace.

 

 



This was reaaallly a quick project...I had about 20 minutes to make it.  LOL.  I started with a pre-purchased journal and picked out the sentiment I wanted to use.  Then I found a pretty flower image to stamp as a background.  I snapped a quick pic and sent it on it's way.  Later I realized that I forgot to add some pearls or bling!  ugh.  I hope the recipient likes it anyway!

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
