Sweet Treat!

Hey, everyone!

I have always loved the saying, "You make my heart smile!" What a compliment, huh? To me that is one of the nicest things I think you can say to someone. So, I have this stamp with that sentiment on it and I am not even sure where I got it now, (any of you recognize it?), but I love it and decided to make a cute little nugget gift set! It's all blinged out with stickles and my stardust glitter gel pens, along with a white gel pen for more detail. The little flower is from one of the first stamp sets I ever bought. I purchased it from Memoirs in Caramel, IN, a while back now with an alphabet set and it had a bee, a butterfly, swirly flower and I can't remember what all for only $9.99! So I snagged it and have used that set a lot!

If you have ever wondered how to make these cute little nugget gift sets, it's really simple, just take your designer paper and stamp it, if you want, after cutting it to 1"x3" and then just adhere it around the nugget. The belly band was 1"x8½" and then I just punched a circle, inked the edges, stamped my sentiment and adhered it to a scalloped circle that I embellished with my white gel pen. I tied a ribbon at the top of my little container and it's good to go! I love these little clam shell cases that you get with your FREE GWP stamps for every $30 you spend with The Angel Company! The card uses the same elements with a couple "extras" for more charm. I just adhered the paper flowers to the designer paper with glue dots and secured a button to the center with a mini glue dot. The flowers and sentiment are glammed up with some Stickles and one of my Star Dust Glitter Gel Pens. I love those pens! Can you tell? LOL

I'd love to see your nugget gift sets. Leave me a comment and link it back to your project so I can check it out! Have an awesome day!!!


Hugs,
