My sister and I made these favors for a baby shower that my niece is giving on Sunday. We used the pillow box die from SU. The shoes are from an old SU set, Buggies and Booties.
My niece also waned to give thank you cards to the mom-to-be, so we made up the cards with the same design.
We used Baja Breeze and Celery. I like this combo paired with the chocolate ribbon.

I saw this darling Halloween ice cream kit on Nichole Heady’s blog.It was created by Tracy Cuccia.You can see hers on her blog here.I decided to make a few to send to my sons and their girlfriends.I also included a gift card to Walgreen’s so they can pick up some ice cream. My tubes just fit in the box, but I did use the little clear stickers that PTI sends with the boxes to keep them shut.
Stamps: Spooky Treats II from PTI
Ink: Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss from SU, Plum Pudding from PTI Paper: Confetti Cream, Only Orange, Kiwi Kiss by SU, Plum Pudding by PTI
Extras: 3/4"circle punch, narrow grosgrain ribbon by SU, tubes from SKS Bottle and Packaging, card box by PTI, Magic Shell
I made a little tutorial on how I made these.It’s my first one, so go easy on me.I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get all of the pictures lined up.
Cut a 3 inch piece from the end of your cardstock and set aside. Your cardstock now measures 4 1/2" by 4 1/4".
Step 2
Leaving your CS in the same position, score the remaining piece at 1", 3", and 4".
Step 3
In one of the 1" scored sections, punch a hole in the center. Then punch a hole on either side of the center hole, for a total of three. Turn your CS around and repeat in the other 1" scored section. You will want to line up the holes, so your tubes will stand straight.
Your CS should look like this.
Step 4
Place adhesive along the 1/2" strip.
Step 5
Adhere the 3" piece you set aside in step1 to the adhesive strip.
This is what your CS should look like now.
Step 6
Fold along the score lines to form the holder. You will not need to adhere anything, as the tubes will keep everything in place.
Step 7
Carefully insert your tubes into the holes as shown. The tubes are 3/4" and will be a snug fit. I turned mine as I pushed them in and got them in with no problems.
I have such a time with making masculine cards! I know I'm not alone on this, but sometimes it's a true struggle. I turned once again to my trusty Lovely As A Tree set from SU!. This card came out OK. In looking at it now, I wish I had sponged some Creamy Caramel or More Mustard on the Confetti panel. It's looking too stark for me now.
But this card is long gone to it's recipient, my niece's husband. He is married to the niece who received the cupcake card from the last post. Their birthdays are only a week or so apart.
I watercolored this in the car on the way to take Daniel back to school a few weeks ago. I used the aquapainter and a plastic pallet with my markers. A very handy way to watercolor while traveling.
The mustard panel is stamped with the Flannel Plaid background and the greeting is from On Your Birthday. I used the new large oval punch from SU! for the sentiment.
The kick-off for the hospital massage program was Tuesday and it went well. We had over 45 people and did about 38 short seated massages. There was a PT Assistant who is also a massage therapist who came to help out for a while. Tomorrow is my first day with clients (employees) scheduled. It is also our wedding anniversary tomorrow. Twenty seven years. We will be going out to dinner to celebrate.
Thanks for dropping by. As I am typing this post the Chicago Cubs are beginning their second playoff game. I don't know if I can take much more of this. That game last night was so disappointing. It's easier when they are not in the playoffs. Then there are no expectations; just the usual "There's always next year." Oh my Cubbies...don't let me down!
