Snowflake Series #2 - and TUTORIAL!

Hello, and welcome to Day 2 of my Snowflake Series!

Each day with a new project, featuring Stampin' Up's stamp set, Serene Snowflakes!

It all started with the 'secret project' I was working on for Ruth (see bottom of post). One card to make turned into 3, then I got inspired and made several projects to match, using the same materials!

So here we are with a super-duper easy gift...

Day #2 - Party Favor Treat


















Okay, so this is sooo super easy you're gonna be shakin' your head! :)  What I love, is that it uses a semi-common household product!  Can you guess what it is???

Step 1 - Find a bite-sized candy to share. :)
My choice - M&Ms

Step 2 - Take a coffee filter (did you guess correct?)










Step 3 - Lay it out flat, pile candy in middle










Step 4 - Gather filter and secure it closed (I used an unused clear ponytail holder)













Step 5 - Decorate!









VOILA!
Super-easy little gift at each person's plate! :)

To decorate, I stamped out the snowflake with Marina Mist ink onto Whisper White, punched it out, then added a punched layer of Bashful Blue behind it. Added a scalloped circle Marina Mist layer, and then applied dazzling diamonds to the snowflake. Attached with Marina Mist taffeta.

Well, what do you think of this project?
