Amuse Studio Bird Party Favor

This is one of Amuse Studio's Ready to Roll Party projects for April.  It was fun to make and could easily be adapted for any occasion.

Stamps:  You're Too Kind

Cardstock:  Bermuda, Sugar, Amethyst

Ink:  Memento Rich Cocoa, Navy

Other:  Navy Satin Ribbon, YR21 Cream Copic marker, small cellophane bag, Nestabilities Oval, You're Too Kind die set, Scallop border die set, Crop-a-dile

Cutting instructions:  

Bermuda cardstock:  3" x 10 ½" scored at 4 ½", 5", 9 ½"

Amethyst cardstock:  3" x 1 ¼"

Sugar cardstock:  3" x 2 ½" for bird die cut

Use the scallop borders die to cut the flap edge of the Bermuda card stock.  Use the scallop borders die to cut the edge of the Amethyst card stock piece.  Attach to the inside of the Bermuda flap.  Position the oval die and cut to create a window opening under the top flap.  (allow room for the sentiment at top)

Stamp sentiment in Navy ink above oval window.  Stamp the bird on Sugar card stock in Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  Use the positioning plate to place the bird die over the stamped image and cut.  Color the bird image using YR21 Copic marker.  

Adhere the bird die cut to the front in the lower right corner.  Fill a small cellophane bag with candy and fold Bermuda card stock around bag.  Use the crop-a-dile to punch two holes in the top flap.  Tie the Navy satin ribbon through the holes at top.  

Amuse Studio Paper Carrot Treat

Look at the darling idea from Amuse Studio to make the sour cream containers for carrot Easter treats!  I'll show you a few tips!

You can make 4 sour cream containers out of one sheet of 8 ½" x11" card stock.  I used Amuse Studio's Orange Petite Polka Dot to get started and cut the card stock into 4 equal pieces.  Each piece measures 4 ¼" x 5 ½". 

Apply red sticky tape to both long sides and one short side.  

Remove the plastic liner from the sticky tape.  Adhere the short ends of the paper together to form a cylinder.  

Remove the plastic liner from the sticky tape and press the two sides together. Don't forget to add your treats!  

If you have a paper crimper this will help to reinforce the adhesive.  Slide the taped end into your crimper and slowly add two crimped lines. 

Remove the plastic liner from the sticky tape, then push the sides together in the opposite direction from the other end.  Crimp the edge of the container.

Decorate the container!

I love our new Crepe paper to make the little carrot top on the container.  This color is the Lime Crepe Paper Item #EAST502.  Our new Green Baker's cording is perfect for attaching a cute circle tag.  I die cut bunnies from our new Bunny Die Set and added die cut grass and/or a flower die.

Cute treats ready for some bunnies Easter basket!

Amuse Studio Mini Notes for Valentine's Day

Mini notes are so fun and make a great gift tag, calling card, lunch-box note or a simple love note!  Amuse Studio's small glassine envelopes are the perfect size (2 1/4" x 3 1/2").  Linda made the mini notes 2 1/8" x 3 3/8" to easily fit inside.  You can get 4 mini notes from one sheet of cardstock.

Here's a cutting diagram for you.  The solid lines are where you cut, the dashed lines are where you score & fold. (Click on the image to see it full size)

You can use scraps to make these little mini-notes.   The mini-note is sitting on one of our glassine envelopes.

Amuse Studio Valentine Treats!

I created these cute little Valentine treat boxes with Amuse Studio products.  I used a retired stamp set that was offered during our Cyber Monday Sale before Christmas.  Hopefully you also have it in your collection!

Amuse Studio Treat Bags

I saw this cool technique on the internet & thought I had to share it!  This is a neat trick to turn your flat treat bags into a gusset bottom bag with a few simple steps.  

I started with an Amuse Studio Medium Sized {5" x 7 1/2"} Orange Polka Dot Treat Bag and converted it to a gusset bottom bag to give you even more versatility for using these bags for all your parties.  Some times you have treats that don't work the best in the flat type of bag.  So here you go...

I added a piece of cardstock in the bottom of the bag to make it more sturdy.
