Today is my first TIOT!

TIOT, or Try It Out Tuesday, is a fun challenge from SCACD and it helps the DT come up with some really awesome ideas! For this one, the challenge was to create a Father's Day card and gift and I thought about this one for a few days, trying to figure out what I wanted to make. I was scouring the craft isles and came across a 4x7 photo cube and I figured I could fill it with something other than photos. Then, BINGO! I knew which Victoria Case stamp I wanted to use...Forever Friends! After gathering what I needed I came up with this S'mores gift ensemble:



See that sparkle? I used Shimmerz Spritz Baby's Breath...YES! The same makers of those wonderful Shimmerz paint pots that we all know and love! I also cut a small piece of Sticky Strips, sponged it with some brown ink, attached it to a small strip of brown Karen Foster Scrapper Floss and there you have a marshmallow!

The photo cube didn't have a lid so I created one using my Scor-Pal (that's another Must Have tool!).

I covered the chocolate bars with coordinating papers and printed "Chocolate" on address labels.

I don't throw away old containers, especially clear ones like this American Crafts plastic jar that held felt shapes. I just cleaned it out and poured in some miniature marshmallows.
I put some graham crackers in a cellophane envelope and wrapped that with the same designer papers. Color coordinating everything is easy when you use double-sided designer papers!
