Today's project is a card and candy holder for one of my middle daughter's teachers. Usually teacher gifts are easy for me because most of the teachers we have had have been female-so anything pretty much goes, flowers, cutesie images, etc. It took me a little while to figure out what to make that was masculine.
I started out with a WW card base, added a strip of retired Ski Slope DSP with some Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon wrapped around it and stamped the apple from the Tart and Tangy set using my SU Markers. I punched the apple out with my 1 1/4" Circle punch and layered it on some Close to Cocoa cardstock punched with the 1 3/8" Circle Punch. That was layered on some Old Olive punched with the Scallop Circle Punch and adhered with a Dimensional. The sentiment is from the One Smart Cookie stamp set and is stamped in Basic Black.
The gift is a giant Hershey's Chocolate bar wrapped in some more retired Ski Slope DSP. Hey, men like chocolate too, right?I learned how to make this candy bar slider from the fabulous Queen of Purple, Dawn Griffith. Click HERE to see her awesome tutorial. To decorate the candy bar slider I stamped "A Little Yummy for Your Tummy" from the retired Yummy stamp set from Sale-A-Bration and layered it on a mat of Old Olive cardstock after using my Ticket Corner Punch to notch out the corners.
I'm sure he'll like it-who can resist chocolate?!
Hope you have a terrific day!
Hugs,
Elizabeth
