Christmas Candy

In thinking about what to do for next week's workshop, Brittney, Linda and I were playing with some ideas and here is what we came up with.  We're all super excited with how it came out!

If you're thinking... hey, I've seen this before... you'd be right!  I did a card similarl to this earlier with apples inside, but now, we're thinking Christmas and Christmas Candy!  Yum!

Stamp Sets:  Perfectly Preserved (w-126690 / c-126692), Greetings of the Season (w-128030 / c-128033), Sweet Essentials (w-126455 / c-126457) and Sweets for the Sweet (w-122510 / c-122512)
Cardstock:  Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Gumball Green, Staz On Black,
Tools:  Cannery Set Framelits Dies (127822), 3/4" Circle Punch, Big Shot
Extras:  Window Sheets (114323), Linen Thread (104199), Dimensionals

Stamp the "peppermint" stamp from Sweet Essentials stamp set and then, instead of punching with a 1" circle punch, we used the 3/4" circle punch to make them more like peppermint candies without a white border around them.

To make the window, decide where you want the jar to be on the card and decide what DSP you want to use inside.  Cut the DSP to 5 1/4" x 4" and attach it ever so slightly with a temporary adhesive like Dotto.  Place it on the Big Shot and use the jar framelit to cut through both layers at the same time.  Stamp the jar onto a piece of Window Sheet 2 1/4" x 3" (do not cut with framelit!).  The window sheet will be adhered in between the cardstock and the DSP.

BEFORE attaching the window sheet, close the card and attach the candies inside the window onto the Whisper White (5 1/4" x 4") attached to the inside (right hand side) of the card.  Pop up the top candy with a Dimensional.

Thanks for looking in.  Looking forward to making more of these adorable cards!

Have a great weekend!
