Every once in a while...an idea hits me

So I have an Open house on Sunday and in typical procrastination fashion I am just now figuring out what to have my customers do for a make and take...

So trying to make it easy I came up with this card. Only the card isn't so easy...see first you stamp the scallop in So Saffron...and punch out the center with a 1" circle punch...then stamp the scallop again with Rose Red...layer the Saffron inner circle on the Rose Red Scallop and add a clear button which is backed by Designer paper and threaded with some natural thread.

So to make it easier and quicker for my customers I went ahead and stamped a bunch of saffron scallops and punched out the center...

BUT that left me with a bunch of stamped scallops...so I used my scallop punch to punch them out...now I have a scallop with a hole in the center...what to do with them...what to do with them.....

Thinking thinking thinking....humm I have lollypop sticks...some Valentine Hershey Kisses and a tin bucket from the Target $1 spot bought a year ago...

So this is what I came up with...

The tin has a Rub-on (from the SU SAB rub-ons) - went down very easily and adds a very nice touch to this simple $1 tin - don't ya think?

Next I punched a 1 3/8 circle out of coordinating cardstock and a 1 1/4 circle out of designer paper...used that to back the scallop so ti showed through the hole...I attached a lollypop stick using basic tape and added a Hershey kiss in the middle (used Craft Glue Dots) - tied some wide green gingham ribbon to act as leaves...

I also had some floral foam (cause a crafter has a little bit of everything) stuck that down inthe tin and stuck my Hershey pops down into the foam at differing heights...

Covered the foam with some Green Galore paper that I ran through the crimper and then cut in small slivers...

Personally I think this is simply ADORABLE...what about you?
