It never ceases to surprise me where I can find ‘inspiration’ for my crafting projects.
For this project, I found a pack of aniseed flavoured lollies (candy).
And, when you see the word HUMBUG what else would you do? Buy the pack and make a Ebenezer Scrooge inspired gift – perfect for Secret Santa, if Santa thinks Christmas is a fraud, perhaps.
The ROUND TINS were the perfect choice for this little treat, as is the BLACK GLITTERED ORGANDY RIBBON.
NOTE – I did try to adhere some Designer Series Paper around the side of the tin but the lid would fit back on – oops!
To be honest, I was disapponted when LETTERS FOR YOU were retired. I used them SO much. Happily, the PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES are filling that void. Their size is better proportioned for most projects that I make, so I am pleased to have a great replacement.
Before I die cut each of the letters needed, I attached ADHESIVE SHEETS to the back of the card stock.
To coordinate with the sweets, I cut the letters from Basic Black and attached them to a 1″ wide piece of Whisper White. To create the banner, I used the BANNER PICK A PUNCH.
And, in true miserly Scrooge form, I did not add any embellishments.
This was such a fun project to make and so, so simple. I hope whoever receives this has a good laugh.
Who would you give it to? Who do know, who likes aniseed?
Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
These are the products I used to make this project. If you live in Australia, I would be very pleased to help you with your order.
