A Week of Gift Packaging - Day 5, Tic Tac Book

Welcome to day 5 of my Week of Gift Packaging.

Todays project was created on the request of my 9 year old creation, he wanted me to make something with Tic Tac mints, knowing that he'd get to eat them after the photos had been taken.  He's not daft, my boy!

The packaging for these mints coordinate with Cucumber Crush and Whisper White brilliantly!

All you need to create one of these cases is a piece of cardstock measuring 3" x 4 1/2", a piece of Designer Series Paper measuring 2 3/4" x 1 3/4, a length of ribbon (approximately 12" in length), adhesives, and of course, a pack of mints!

I first scored the card at 2" and 2 1/2", before folding and burnishing.  I then rounded off the corners with the Project Life Corner Punch, and two of the corners on the DSP (as in the photo).  The DSP was then attached to the front of the book using Snail Adhesive.  The greeting came from the Bear Hugs stamp set, and was stamped onto Whisper White card using the Cucumber Crush Classic Stampin' Pad.  Once the ink had dried, the greeting was then punched out using the Word Window Punch, and stuck to the front of the book using Stampin' Dimensionals.  A Blossom Accent was then added to the edge of the greeting, stuck in place with a Mini Glue Dot.

Inside, a length of Tear & Tape Adhesive was then placed across the centre of the book, before sticking the ribbon in place.  The mints were then stuck into the book using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here is the full list of products used to create this project:

Bear Hugs and Bows

I have to admit, since the arrival of my new Bow Builder Punch, I've been a little addicted (oops), with my family finding bows all over the place!  Because of this, I simply had to add a bow to one of my latest creations, and here it is!

Made using the Bear Hugs stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue, and some of our Cucumber Crush, I think the spotty bow sets off the stripes really nicely!  The baby bear was stamped onto some Crumb Cake card, using the Crumb Cake Stampin' Pad, and the flowers using Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad, coloured in with Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Marker and the Cucumber Crush Stampin' Pad and Aqua Painter.  The tag was made from Cucumber Crush and Whisper White card, cut to 2" wide (5cm) x 4" and 3" long (10cm and 7.5cm), punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  The greeting was punched using the Word Window Punch, and the background and the bow were made from Cucumber Crush Designer Series Paper (part of the In Color 2015-17 DSP Stack).

I hope you have enjoyed this project.
