Tic Tac Baby Shower Favor

I needed to do a "quick and easy" baby shower favor and saw this idea on Splitcoaststampers. My mentor and friend, Kathy Hamrick has also done something like this so all of the credit is going to her :)



First off, let me apologize that it is crooked - I didn't get it in the scanner straight! This was done using the following cardstock: Pink Pirouette which is retiring but you could use Pretty in Pink and get the same affect, Whisper White and Certainly Celery.
Ink: Black Stazon, Pretty In Pink, Close to Cocoa and Barely Banana.
Stamp Set: Very Punny.
Round Scallop Punch, 1 1/4" Round Punch, Signo Gel Pen.

Cut cardstock at 2 3/4 x 4. Score at 1 3/4 from each end. Run the base through the Big Shot to texturize. Decorate as you wish. I put Glue Dots on one side of the Tic Tac container so that it would stay in place and I think I will also wrap ribbon around the favor just to give it a little extra "umph" and to help hold the Tic Tacs in place! Completed one in just under 15 minutes.

I purchased the Tic Tacs at Sam's for just under $10 for 24. I also stopped by Kroger's this evening and they had 8 for less that $3.

Thanks for Looking!

Greetings!

Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about the Blog. Have been extremely busy, went to NC to see my nephew graduate and then I came down with some kind of bug and haven't felt like stamping. So, therefore, I hope to get something up here in the next couple of days.

Have a good weekend everyone!
