Gum Slider


Oooh..time is running short on linking up with this week's Ink It Pink Challenge.
Make that stocking stuffer...and link up!
( A gift certificate is the prize for one lucky participant 
if they post the Ink It Pink badge on their blog!)

Here's a fun treat for the teen in your life!
A gum slider!





Cut your paper and wrap it around your gum package.  Adhere the last edge on to itself.
Use ribbon to create the slide as shown below.  I used a slit punch for the ribbon.
Of course, you can make this using all sorts of candy bars!

Here I used Rubber Ducky Paper from The Robin's Nest. 
These ducks have a wonderful coppery sparkles!
Super fun!!
Throw some dew drops into that shopping cart as well....super fun and easy to add to projects! 
Can you spy the dew drops I used?

Glue Dots © Lines are a great way to keep these gum wrappers closed tightly!




When pulled up, the ribbon slides out the gum.

Now, to get these teens to put the wrappers in the waste paper basket and 
not on the side of their beds.
**Moms of teens...you SO know what I'm talking about!!**

 Did you know that the designers are having a contest to host the most participants for the 
Ink It Pink Challenge? 
Make a stocking stuffer this week and link up...it will help my team!!


Ooh..fun...POPCORN!
This stocking stuffer is great for teens with big appetites...
Bus drivers who get your kids to school safely each day...
Coworkers with the munchies...
Yes, you see where I'm going with this...
Everyone enjoys popcorn!

So...flutter on over to the store and pick up some JIFFY Popcorns.
Cut out a circle that is 6.75 inches in diameter. 
Decorate as wish...


Here, I used the new "Hubba Hubba" set from Pink by Design that will be released today.
I double embossed Classified  paper from The Robin's Nest, as well as the dew drops.
Ribbons, stickles....always needed...especially on the handle.

Gently pull up the edges of the aluminum foil packaging. Slide in your decorated circle panel.
Then, press down the edges...
and you have a stocking stuff that everyone is going to be raving about!

So...swim on over to Melisa's blog for another fun example using the new sets!

Tag it!

As you are all now wrapping gifts, take a quick break and make some tags for those gifties!



I used Groovy Santa from Gel-a-tins.  Kraft paper was perfect for these vintage images.
