Having four kids, Summer is as much about the fun "treats" as it is about the weather! :-) One of those special Summer treats that our family especially enjoys is smores! We even have a small fire pit on our property near our house (we live waaaay out in the country) and love to have campfires several times a week. It never fails, that when we have company over for dinner...we somehow end up out by the fire! LOL! Well, I thought it would be fun to "plan" for it...and made up these cute little "smore kits"!
I started by stamping some large glassine bags using one of the decorative stamps in the Relax set and some Palette ink (it will dry and not smear on the glossy bag surface). I then filled the bags with everything needed for several delicious smores - graham crackers, marshmallows, and of course a Hershey bar!!
For the "tags", I combined stamps from the Relax and Happy Days sets with some left over patterned paper (by Stampin' Up!) that I found in my stash.
On each of the tags, I added a punched bottom border, a wooden heart, and some satin ribbon.
Here's a close-up picture of the stamped glassine bags.
So, what do you think? What fabulous projects have you been using your new Verve stamps for? There's still time for you to play along with us (Psssst, there's prizes involved if you do)! But hurry, because the deadline is approaching fast! Here's some more info on how to enter...
