Hi peeps! Today I'm posting a super fun project that I've been saving to show you! I'm typing this before leaving for the convention...and when you read this, I will most likely be in my car somewhere on I-5 on the way home from LA. Since I was going to meet the Taylored Expressions Baker's Dozen crew I wanted to make them something special. I made cute goodie boxes to leave at their hotels as a little check-in surprise! I was cooking up this idea for weeks and it was hard to keep a secret.
I used tons of my favorite Taylored Expressions Cuppie stamp sets and lots of sparkly glitter. I hope you enjoy looking at this project. There are lots of pictures in this post!
Here they are all ready to get loaded into the car:
Here's a close up of my coloring before I put any glittery parts on....
I used images and saying from all of these stamp sets. I kept the palette simple - pink, aqua and black. This let me play with a lot of images but still have a clean look.
Look at all those little candies....so cute!
Here they are all spark-a-lay!
I made little matching notecards to go inside the boxes. To make my mini cards (about 3.5 inch square) I used my Cuttlebug and a large scallop square Nestie. I love making little scallop cards like this. Somehow they seem more fun!?
Here is my little stack of cards ready to go!
This is what I put inside for the gals....
Okay, these little cupcakes are the cutest thing ever! I found them at Bed, Bath and Beyond! They are meant to be little single cupcake holders....but I filled them with candy. Then the gals can use them later.
I printed the names out on my computer onto thick cardstock....
This is the back and side view....
Thanks for coming by today to check out my project! I hope you do something creative every day! Have a wonderful day....see you soon!

You put a lot of work and generosity into those gifts--so excellent! I'll bet that made their day! I like how you kept the color palette simple so it wouldn't be over-whelming. I need to work on that myself. Have an excellent time at CHA and I can't wait to hear what you have to report back.
