The Fable Friends stamp set brings me back to childhood days and time spent reading wonderful books like those written by Beatrice Potter. This set is so sweet, and can be used for baby cards or Easter. Or, how about a treat holder? In addition to Fable Friends, I've used Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I love not only the stitching on these but how about those frilly edges on the rectangles. This is a set you will want for your stash. Here is the treat holder:
SUPPLIES:
PAPER: Thick Whisper White card stock. Balmy Blue or Blushing Bride card stock.
STAMP SET: Fable Friends
INK: Black Memento Ink, Balmy Blue or Blushing Bride.
TOOLS: Die cutting machine, Stitched so Sweetly Dies, Stampin' Blends (Balmy Blue or Blushing Bride, Dark and Light Crumb Cake, Ivory), glue dots, liquid adhesive, tear and tape, sponge.
EMBELLISHMENTS: Champagne Rhinestones, White Baker's Twine
DIRECTIONS:
Die cut using the largest die from Stitched so Sweetly Dies (see video). Die cut two Whisper White pieces, and two of the contrasting color. Die cut Whisper White rectangle using smallest rectangle. Cut bottom of colored pieces and glue to back whisper white piece so top edges stick up above white piece (see video). Stamp bunny and color. Add a touch of Balmy Blue ink or Blushing Bride ink on edges with a stampin' sponge.
Bend bottom tab on bottom of Whisper White pieces and adhere to small rectangle (see video).
Using glue dots, add Hershey Nuggets to inside of treat holder, stacking on top of each other.
Close at top using Tear and Tape.
Add bow made with White Baker's twine on front. Add Champagne Rhinestones to buttons.
Enjoy!
