Easy Party Favors

Author: June 22, 2009 0 Comments

DSC02343 Ok, I found these super cute Scallop party favors and just had to give it a try! Oh My…I'm hooked! Talk about fast and easy!! 

OH yes, my favorite NUGGETS wrapped in DSP

(designer series paper) love those!  I am using my one of my favorite DSP's Bella Rose!  Inspiration found HERE!  My down-line and I made these at our last meeting!  I am DSC02345 also using the Ronald McDonald Stamp Set "Say it with Scallops" #111678 $17.95 which is retiring.  I LOVE this set as it matches the Scallop Square Punch # 112081 on pg. 184.  Plus with every set sold Stampin' Up! will donate $2.00 to the Ronald McDonald House.

Here is a side view of the Scallop Nugget Holder.  Now mine is just a little different…I used the Scallop Circle Die on Pg. 197 item # 113468.  The one Melissa Rodgers used was the #2  Scallop Die same page.

Below I'm showing you a close up.  Now tell me doesn't it also look like a Taco DSC02344Shell? My down-line and I thought so. LOL!

Anyway I sure hope you enjoyed today's project. 

Stop by tomorrow as I've got a great card share using a soon to be retired set called "Just B" # 115000 on pg. 140.

As always thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin',
