A very warm welcome to Stop no. 10 on the Stampin’ Addicts New Catalog Mega Hop…you have just arrived here from Barbra’s blog where she showed you great ideas for the beautiful set Come to Bethlehem...I have a link at the end of this post so that you can hop over to the next blog…keep hopping and eventually you will go full circle…
The set I chose to use here is Got Treats which you can find on pg 55 of the Catalog – it features 10 stamps and some are designed to work with that fab new Mini Milk Carton die…please read on to see what I did with it and to find out details of some cool blog candy…and when you come back Monday you will find out who won the blog candy plus get more close up photos, templates and how-tos for my items…Got Treats definitely makes me think of yummy goodies and so for my first project…
I decided to make a Mini Milk Carton caddy containing 4 milk cartons…there are stamps in this set that are designed for labelling the top of the milk carton to give the recipient an idea on how to open them…and guess what’s inside of them? Mmm…scrumptious Hershey’s Cookie’s n Creme Kisses…I chose them because their wrappers were blue and it suited my theme BUT oh my…they are now my favorites…
Yes…ummm…Christmas in July? Well, I came up with a punch Penguin a couple of days ago that I made using the new Owl die and so that got my cogs working…besides…you can’t start on holiday projects too soon…and living in Central Texas has me dreaming of cold weather right about now!
My caddy was a breeze to making using Brushed Silver cardstock and Island Oasis paper from the Summer mini which I thought ironic for a winter themed project and it holds 4 of the Milk Cartons which are made from Shimmery White cardstock and are decorated with snowflakes and the new rhinestones (pg 188)…what a perfect treat for a teacher or co-worker…and you have plenty of time to make ’em if you start soon! And there is my cute little punch Penguin…love that guy…
When you come back on Monday you will find a printable tutorial and template here on how to make the caddy that holds 4 mini milk cartons, more photos of it and my cute Punch Penguin…
Next I was trying to think of how to use those stamps a bit differently, other than for attaching to treats…so I decided to use them to make some cute 3″ x 3″ cards with co-ordinating envelopes AND a gift box to present them in…here is the box that houses them…
I just love Early Espresso and can’t stop using it – it’s my new favorite color…and the swirly stamp I used on the top? From one of my new favorite sets – Elements of Style (pg 133)…on Monday I will have the printable tutorial and template on how to make that box and close ups of the cards and envelopes inside of it...speaking of which, here they are…
Cute, eh? Those little cards are very fun to make…you could make a box full of cards as a cute Back to School teacher gift which would go down very well – and those Mini Envelopes? You can find them on pg 171 of the Catalog and all use a little piece of Designer Series Papers on the flaps – this is a very cute and easy little extra to do…
And so on to my final project -I decided to use the co-0rdinating stamp set On a Pedestal (pg 55) to create a decorated Tea Tin – these sets go together so well and it’s very hard not to use that beautiful cake stand so I just had to…the photo really doesnt do it justice…
These tall tins are just perfect for packaging candies, chocolate dipped pretzel rods, cookies…any treat you have in mind…and for just around $1 each they are a very affordable way to present your gift…
I used papers from Blushing Bride Patterns to decorate my tin and accented with Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry and that GORGEOUS new Crochet Trim Ribbon…and I used the new Pearls to decorate the pedestal and the lid…I love pinks and browns together and this tin would make another great Back to School new teacher gift.
Don’t forget to come back on Monday to find printable tutorials and templates and to find out who won my blog candy…speaking of Blog Candy…leave me a comment to let me know which project you like the most and you will be entered into a drawing to win a kit of supplies for you to make your own cute Milk Carton Caddy filled with Mini Milk Cartons…
I hope you enjoyed your visit – you are now leaving to visit the extremely talented Barbara and see what she has come up with using the cool set Morning Cup on her blog at Creative Stampin Spot by clicking HERE – enjoy!
Great projects! Love the 3×3 cards, and I will definitely be back Monday for the milk carton holder tutorial!
What adorable projects!! Your punched penguin is too cute. I love that you used the images to make the little cards. The matching envelopes are a great touch. Great job!!
It is hard to choose. All three projects are adorable. If I have to pick, I will select the milk cartons and carrier. Love the penguin.
Love your projects. The 3×3 cards are adorable and the decorated tin is awesome!
The little punched penguin is so cute!! The mini milk carton holder is just darling!!
Great projects! Love the tea tin!
I love all of your projects but the 3X3 cards are so stinking cute! I must get this set and make them.
Cute projects. I especially love your penguin.
I love all your projects but that penguin is just too too cute. I must make a milk carton holder like that for my sample table. Great ideas.
I love all your projects just like everyone else. I am a new demo and your ideas are awesome. I will be back to learn how too make these for myself. Thanks for sharing.
Super cute projects!! I hadn’t even realized that set had the opening instruction stamps. Awesome.

COOL IDEAS!!! CUTE!
Love all your projects! Love the 3 x 3 cards and the penguins adorable!!!
These are all so great but I can’t resist a little note card. I guess those are my favorite but what a tough choice! Super ideas.
All great projects, but I think my fav is the milk carton set. I’m a subscriber so I’ll definitely be getting those tutorials! Thanks for the blog candy chance.
What a great set for all sorts of 3-D items, huh? Your 3×3’s and wintry caddy are adorable!
WOW! I can’t pick which one I love the best – they are all equally fabulous! (And my wish list is getting longer by the minute.) Bee-yoo-tiful!!
I love it all- the penquin is so darn cute! the tea holder redone is fabulous!
Your mini cards and coordinating envelopes are so adorable. I guess I need to start thinking about back to school gifts since its right around the corner for us.
Oh my gosh, these are just too good! I love all three for different reasons, but I have a love of the little cards! You caught my eye with the shamrock and my birthday is St. Paddy’s Day! I have to subscribe now for the tutorials on Monday! Gotta check out the penguin tutorial in a bit. Thanks for sharing all your creativeness! I have a load of the tea canisters I can now decorate!
Oh my gosh-the milk cartons are fabulous! The penguin makes it perfect :)
I love the milk carton set! It’s soooo cute!
Love them all Sarah but I am partial to tea so my favorite is the altered tea tin. Great job!
I love all of your projects, so much that I can’t even pick a favorite. The tea tin is so perfect for a small gift.
Those 3×3 cards are adorable, especially with the matching envelopes! Great work!
I loved all of the projects, but since I have to choose a favorite, I’ll go with the note cards in the cute little box. When I taught school, I always needed note cards, so I know that is a much appreciated gift…but so is the chocolate in the cute cartons and the surprises in the tea tin!!! Where did you get the tea tin? Same place as the nugget box? Thanks for sharing great projects!
Great projects. I love the mini milk carton and carrier.
Wow, loved all of your projects. The milk cartons and holder are great! I loved your box and the cards — very, very nice. Looking forward to the tutorials. TFS
The milk carton is the BEST. I want to use it for teacher gifts. What a great idea!
Love the projects, the tea tin especially!
How can one choose? Must say love that little penguin, the note cards are wonderful, perfect to pop in someone’s lunch kit. Great Projects
Your work is just lovely. So hard to choose a favorite, but I am really drawn to the sweet little cards. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes, same place as the nugget tins :-)
You do beautiful work Sarah! I really enjoyed all of your projects especially the little note cards. They are just so cute!
Adorable! I love the decorated tea tin too stinkin cute :)
I love love love the tall tin, what an absolutely great gift idea! The little penguin as adorable.
All your projects are awesome! Thanks so much for sharing
Too cute! I love the penguin and those 3×3 cards!
Those penguins are so cute!
I think the 3×3’s would be great as a hostess gift too.
Wow, Sarah, you did a wonderful job! Love the penguin idea, and the bling on the snowflakes on the milk cartons. The box is BEAUTIFUL and the cards with matching envies are SO cute! I’m with Kim, I think that would make a great hostess gift!
LOVE the penguin! I will have to come back and check out your tutorial!!
It was hard to choose, but I think the mini milk carton caddy has to be my favorite. Anything containing chocolate will win every time!!! TFS & looking forward to the tuts on Monday.
Oh my goodness! That box with notecards is too cute! Can’t wait to see how you made that!
Incredible cutie pie projects Sara! TFS!!
Still lovin’ the penguin!
Fab projects, Sarah–they’re all darling, but the perky pengiun pushes the milk carton caddy over the top!
Love the note cards!
Wow, how cute are your projects! I love them all, but if I had to choose.. the notecards and holder are probably my fav!
