Buttons

Unusual Sentiment (ie. not “Happy Birthday” or “Best Wishes” etc).

Here's what I came up with. I made an acetate box using this tutorial. I've been wanting to make one of these for a while now, couldn't believe how easy it was to do. Also this is a lot smaller than I thought it would be, perfect size for party favors. The items on the itinerary that I used are Not a card, Black & White, Unusual Sentiment, and No image.

Box filled with candies.

So for my project I had planned to make a card. But I found these chocolates at Target and knew I had to make a topper. I used Bella and Cubs by Spesch Stamps for the first time. I've had the image forever, so nice to finally color it in. The items on the itinerary that I used were 2. Twilight, 5. SU border punch, 6. one piece of pattern paper by Echo Park, 7. the color red, 8. no flowers, 9. swirls in paper and bling and 10. sparkle with the swirly bling. 7 out of 10 isn't bad.
