St. Patty’s Day Ferrero Roche Gift Box Video Tutorial

I recently attending a DIY Retreat and received these yummy little Ferrero Roche Chocolates at dinner. Of course everyone at the table was on a diet right now, so I ended up with a little pile of them. LOL! As I lined them up on my table they made me think of little pots of gold – so I couldn’t resist making a little box for them for St. Patrick’s Day!

Of course I couldn’t resist adding a little shine to this project, so I pulled out the fabulous Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper. The light green was perfect for this project!

These boxes are quick and easy to make so I whipped up a video tutorial for you in case you wanted to make some too!

So what do you think? Do you want to spread a little luck of the Irish and a little chocolate of course?!

If so I’ve also made a printable PDF tutorial with the supply list and measurements for you to go along with the video.

I taught two groups the Barn Door Slider Card in Class

and we also made some Lots of Lavender Sachets that I shared with you HERE.

The dining hall was decorated lovely and the tables had coordinating theme center pieces.

The weekend was filled with good food, great fellowship, fun, and friends.

Heartfelt Bloom Thank You

Today’s card is one that I’ve created using the Heartfelt Bloom stamp set (147197/147202) that I earned for FREE during Sale-a-bration. I’ve made a bunch of these cards to send out as Thank You’s for February – so you might be receiving one soon in your mail box!

Party Pandas Valentine Nugget Treats

Want a quick and easy treat for Valentine’s Day? How about this chocolate filled treat made with the two of our Sale-a-bration items? Just one pack of the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper will make quite a few of these goodies. So why not grab a bag of Nuggets and get started?

Here are the instructions – the supply list is below for you.

  1. Cut 5 strips of Designer Series Paper 1″ x 3″ (make sure the pattern is going the direction you want. For mine I lined the hearts up along the top edge and cut 1″ strips that then I cut into 4 3 inch sections.)
  2. Using your Glue Dots add one to each end of the Designer Series Paper and place one against the Nugget and wrap the Designer Series Paper all the way around. The second Glue Dot will seal the other end down.
  3. Slide the nuggets into cello bag.
  4. Cut a piece of Blushing Bride Card stock 2 1/4″ x 4 1/2″; score at 2 1/4″
  5. Stamp your sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink along the bottom of card stock.
  6. Fold the sentiment piece in half and slip over the top of the cello bag and staple. (Your scallop circle will hide the staple on the front.)
  7. Run a piece of Calypso Coral card stock through the Big Shot using the scallop circle Framelits die.
  8. Attach the scallop circle to the nugget topper, leaving it hang a bit above the top.
  9. Stamp your panda image onto Whisper White card stock using Basic Black Archival Ink.
  10. Color in heart using your Powder Pink Stampin’ Write Marker.
  11. Cut panda out using the circle Framelits die.
  12. Adhere the panda image to the scallop circle card stock using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

That’s it! Quick and easy – now you just need to share your treat!
