Quick Holiday Gift/stocking filler? Clear kitchen storage jar, a few ounces of sweets and a custom tag? Any takers? Super simple and super quick, because there is literally no time at Christmas....
I stamped the jar from Candy jar Christmas fillers, then I stamped the filler sweets and the lid, I used two colours of copic marker to match my candies, and then brushed the paler stripes on the wee balls with glue, literally threw on some gliter and let it set.
Oh I had already fussy cut this tag using a fancy die (Spellbinders Labels 20) and a ruler and craft knife - you know, when you cut a rectangle of card and slide it up through a label die, so that only part of the card is under a cutting edge of the die when you pass it through the machine.
I stamped the mini jar label on a separate piece of card, coloured it and cut it out - added some glitter and realised that I had used the wrong glitter... I should have used the clear glitter and not the white, but hey-ho, these things happen and I think it looks ok, I popped it up on foam stickies for a little dimension. Dash of ribbon, done. Whole thing - 20 mins.
So, how is your Saturday going? If you have an hour to spare, you might like to pop over to our Challenge blog, we have a fresh sketch today, and plenty of inspiration right here. Including this Beauty from Edna. Pop on over to the Challenge blog to see more.

ReplyDeleteGreat tag idea Claire - your stamped design is the prefect matching for the gift, whatever the glitter you used!

ReplyDeleteWell, this is just delightful. When I saw those candies, my mouth started watering (as does anytime I see anything lemony) LOL. This is a wonderfully done tasty treat, presented in a way that ANYONE would be thrilled to receive it.

Those candies look simply divine!! Where can I get some like that? Maybe it's just a European thing, but I'm just in love with how the candies in the jar match the stamped candies...but I've never seen candies like that here (US)..I'm going to have to start looking...I also need to know where to get those fabulous jars! What a great and relatively simple yet beautiful gift!! Thanks for the eye candy!! (no pun intended ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag Claire!! Your work is always so beautiful!! hope you had a great weekend and have a great week!! Hugs :-)
