Cards sent, gifts under the tree, lights up, and cookies baked...right? Now it's time to get the dies out and make little treat jars for the holidays. Arrange them on your prettiest cake plate or cupcake tower as a centerpiece - or add guests' names to create placecards and party favors. A set of them would also be a sweet surprise for a gift exchange. Co-workers or carpoolers would love them too!
Here are just a few ideas - featuring Memory Box and Poppystamps Dies - with felt, cardstock and printed papers. I had such a great time designing these - hope you like them!
The dies, left-to-right and top-to-bottom, are:
Poppystamps Tilda Swirl 804, Small Scalloped Circle 98204, Whimsy Circle 98154, Bianca Snowflake 98193, La Rue Flourish 98218, Tivoli Snowflake 98163, Classic Tags 98105, Amana Circle 98215, Poppystamps Small Tilda Swirl 808, Poppystamps Anna Snowflake 811, Simple Buckles 98185, Poppystamps Meadow Leaf 806, Blooming Rosette and Center 98121. (I just used the rosette center - but rosettes are great jar toppers too!)
