A Fitting Occasion

I need some treats for my youngest sorority dinner (a lot of treats, actually) so I came up with this – a sucker holder.  This little treat box is easy to make.  Cut your paper (Soft Sky) 2 x 11 and score at 4 1/2, 5 1/2, 7 1/2 and 8 1/2, 

Fold it up as shown.  Before you adhere the top together, punch a small hole for the sucker stick to go through.  I used a Crop a dile and it lined up perfectly.  Adhere the top two pieces together and punch it with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  Insert the sucker through the side and tie a ribbon to the stick (midnight Muse.)

The front is a 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 piece of Midnight Muse with a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 piece of Whisper White, stamped in Soft Sky using the circle design from Bright Blossoms.  I stamped the images from A Fitting Occasion on Whisper White and punched it out with a 1″ circle punch and matted it with a 1 1/4″ circle punch.  Done!

Sweet Magnet Board

It’s sorority time!  My youngest is now in a sorority and I made her a magnet for her dorm room.  Using the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper and A Fitting Occasion stamp set, a cute owl die and the Pennant Parade die – here’s her magnet board.

I used the Pennant Parade die and the Timeless Type Alphabet to make the banner.  Remember those keys from a few “mini’s” ago?  Just what I needed for this.

Soda Pop Top magnets!  I bought galvanized steel for the backing under the DSP and cut it fit.  (Be careful, it’s sharp!)

And the cute little owl (Sizzix Owl #2) was the perfect finishing touch.  That’s it – Owl, Key and Fleur de Lis.  Got it covered.  Hugs, Fran
