Lollipop Land

Getting ready for my Stampin' Up party

next week.  I needed an idea for

hostess gifts and my friend, Nancy

(also my SU rep) had

made one of these adorable

lollipop bouquets as a door prize

at the last party! 

VOILA!!!  There was my idea...

 

They are so fun and easy to make.

I used small terracotta pots, a small

foam ball inside to hold the lollipop

sticks, some "grass", the SU Posie punch

for the leaves and the SU Sizzix Spiral

Flower die for the flowers.

Add a bag of dum dum lollipops and

they're good to go.

 

There are several examples you can find

on-line, but the one I looked at didn't

use any kind of adhesive on them.

I opted for some Helmark Craft Glue

just to hold them together better.

 

 

I ended up making 21 of these, but gave

my friend, Patti one as part of her

retirement gift.   She loved it.

 

Here's a close-up of the top.

 

This one and the one below

are even closer  and

show the pots.

 

Here are the two basic tools you need.

 

Hope you enjoyed a visit to lollipop land :)

 

 



 

 

Gift Card Purses

Here are a couple of gift card purses for holding

either a gift card, candy or other small gift.

 Check under my Templates section to see the instructions for the purses.

They are so easy to make and look so elegant when finished.

 

I'm off to do my Black Friday shopping to find some things to fill these up!

 

I used the "bow maker" die from Sizzix - so so so so simple!!!

Just love the polka dot CS and the pretty lime green color. 

The bow and other parts are done with glitter paper from Recollections.

 

 

This one has a few different elements.  

Beautiful ribbon from SU

a Darice embossing folder

A pretty SU border punch

Dies from SU

Scor-tape and microfine glitter

and a silver star from an old stash recently found!

 

Hope you like them.
