SPD December ProjectPea Blog Hop

Scroll Down Below to see my AJVD Post

Welcome to SugarPea Designs December 
ProjectPea Blog Hop
Each month we challenge our fabulous team of ProjectPea Designers to create FUN & CREATIVE projects that are sure to make you look at your stamp sets with brand new eyes!

I made winter Hershey Nugget wraps. 

Here are the supplies I used. 
I took all the snowflakes from four SugarPea Designs stamp sets, Frosty Friends, Have An Ice Day, Merry Christmoose, Sweet Treats - Christmasand put them on a clear acrylic block.


I stamped the snowflakes using just one ink pad 
turning and stamping on the address label a few times then reinking and repeating. 
 It worked great.  
Then I just wrapped the label around the Hershey nugget. 
Really quite simple. 
 I placed 12 of them in this tin. 
This tin was given to all of us at a crafty get together at Amy Tsurata's as homework for the next time we met.  Well it snowed that day and I chose not to drive in it. So Amy, here is my finished homework.

I made the tag using Layered Treat Label - Sugar Cuts Die.
I cut the silver paper using the largest circle die then embossed using it and the matching dotted embossing die.  Then I cut the white with the smallest circle die and embossed the edge with it.  I stamped my sentiment twice to get a shadow look.

Here's a close up of the wrapped nuggets in the open tin.

Featured Stamper - Perfect Pair

 Congratulations to Natalie Dever aka dougnat,
this week's Featured Stamper #412 on Splitcoaststampers
 I cased Natalie's card Perfect Pair
My Changes
Circle Window
CAS
Curved Sentiment
Clothes Line
Enamel dots
 I used this adorable set from SugarPea Designs Take A Load Off
I curved the sentiment along the inside of the die on my acrylic grid block.
Here's the inside. 
I paper pieced on the inside too and drew my clothes line just like on the front.  Chose to use this playful sentiment to go with the front.  It will make a great Valentine, Anniversary card or just a fun surprise to put in my husband's lunch I think. 

This is also for this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge
