Valentine Nugget Holder

Valentine Nugget Treat Holder

 Evening Stampers!  So this is the last project we did at my Valentines Class.  I SO loved how easy this project was to make.

I got this idea from another Demonstrator Becky Roberts (Inking Idaho) What a great site she has. But she made these during the Holidays and I saw them on Stampin' Connection. (A site for SU Demos) and new I was going to have to make them! 

I think this was another hit! Super easy using the Wilton Pretzel bags, trimmed 2 1/2 inched from the top. Made the topper (2 1/2 x 3) fold the 3" part in half and attach to bag. It was a perfect fit. DSP size for the nuggets I used are 1 x 3.

Decorate as desired! Tomorrow I'll be sharing a card I made with the Build a Blossom set.

Hope you all have a very wonderful weekend! Tomorrow I'm heading to Anaheim with the boys for "Monster Jam".  What the heck was I thinking? I could of had the day all to myself for stamping, stamping and yes, stamping! LOL!!!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin',

Blast from the past

Author: February 8, 2011 0 Comments

Good Morning Stampers! Hope your Tuesday is going well! I wanted to share a project that I shared awhile ago and I didn't realize that the link to the original person I got it from is no longer available OR that I never put the measurements for the project!  So I would like to do that now.  Which project am I talking about you ask?  Well it was and still is a very addicting one, yes I am still making them and they are just the easiest and cutest things ever!  You can see that link HERE!

Valentine Nugget Purse Holder 1It's the Nugget Purse OR Ghirardelli Purse Holder.  I did a video on the the Ghirardelli Size which you can view HERE  and the Nugget purse is put together the same way it's just different measurements.  Which I'll give you now with a few tips.

 Nugget Purse Holder:

Card-stock measures 3 x 5
Score as follows:

3" side – 1/2 in each side I did 2 1/2 turn then 2 1/2 on other side

 

 

 

Valentine Nugget Purse Holder 5" side – 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 this is the front of the purse so if you are using a patterned paper make sure that when scoring it looks upside down. When you fold it UP it will be the right way. Does this make sense? If not let me know I can always take photos so you can see it.

Ok, so now the tip on how to get more bang for your buck.  If you have the 6×6 Designer Series Patterned Paper that you can choose when you Host a Party you can get 2 purses out of it PLUS the wrappers for your nuggets! 

What no LEFT OVERS? LOL! Love it!

Here is the photo so you can see how I did this.

 Well I sure hope this is  helpful and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

 Happy Stampin',

Valentine Class
Valentine Class Projects & Cards
On top are the 3 cards that I've shared before. The 3D projects from left to right are:
Love Top Note Die box – Saw this on SCS website and they have a great Video Tutorial and it was super easy to do. The Middle is from "Stampin'  Up!s" New Petal Cone die – LOVE this die and was inspired by the On Stage presentation from Bonnie at Leadership in Nashville. Then I saw the one that my lovely Florida friend Sharon Field made, and HAD to "CASE" that Tag. You can't see it to well but you'll see it in a close up photo when I post it. It just gave it that extra "touch" and I think all the Ladies loved it too. Then the last one I cased from "Becky Roberts" she shared some super cute treat holders that she made during the Holidays for a craft fair and they were just the cutest so I new I had to make some for Valentines Day.

Questions please don't hesitate to ask. Check my events for upcoming classes

Happy  Stampin',
