St. Patrick's Day Treat Pouch

Hey, everyone!

I have had a great weekend and I hope you have, too. It was such a beautiful day on Sunday and I was able to be out and about and enjoy most of it! I made some more progress in my new craft space downstairs. Many of you that follow my blog know that I have moved my craft items into the basement and I have been working on organizing everything a little here and there so that I can have everything where I want it. I am excited about the progress, especially since I can see the transformation and I know it won't be long and I will be able to just hang out and create fun stuff in my craft space instead of going in spurts or just making quick and easy projects!

I absolutely love St. Patrick's Day and I have a really fun project to show you! It was so easy to make but I had a little bit of a hard time trying to decide just how to make it all work. This is a candy bar/treat holder:
The stamp is not from The Angel Company. It is a Tilda stamp and it's so much fun to color in and play with! This is the first time since I bought her that I got a chance to ink her up! I stamped her in Noir Hybrid Palette ink on watercolor paper and colored her in with my Bic Mark-It's. I loved how fun it was to do the shading! The stamp is actually called a Magnolia stamp but many people call these stamps Tilda stamps. This one was purchased in the US and I am so excited!! I love it! It is an angel company, though, meaning I could stamp this on a card and sell that card without worrying about breaking any copyright laws.
The pouch is 6"x12" and scored at 6". The paper is Willoughby from The Angel Company. I adhered the bottom and right ends together. I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch holes in the top for the ribbon. The ribbon is from Walmart and it has little clovers on it and I thought it was cute! The white cloud is just cut free hand and then I inked the edges with Reflection Blue Hybrid Palette ink and using my glue pen I traced the edge and added Prisma Glitter to make it shimmer. I also added some glitter below her feet!
As you can see, it will hold a regular size Kit Kat bar and even a card or whatever else you wanted to tuck inside. I just randomly cut some pink, blue and yellow cardstock to come out of the cloud like a rainbow and attached 4 leaf clovers from the Celtic Images stamp set to the ends.
The Prisma Glitter is absolutely my favorite glitter of all. It's ultra-fine and so sparkly!
I stamped the clovers in Viridian Leaf Hybrid Palette ink and then cut them out. I colored them in with my green Stardust Glitter Gel Pen. Then I stamped the vase from a retired stamp set and cut the top off to make my pot. The pot is stamped in Noir Hybrid Palette ink. I cut a piece of scrap paper, just random, then inked it up with Sunflower Hybrid Palette ink and then adhered it to the back of the pot. The gold shimmer comes from my yellow Stardust Glitter Gel Pen. The 4 leaf clovers and pot of gold are up on pop dots for dimension. I hope you have fun creating your own treat pouches using some of your favorite things, too!

Come back tomorrow for my StampTACular Tuesday challenge! Christina and I will have some fun St. Patrick's Day projects to share with you using The Angel Company stamps! If you'd like a chance to win a free stamp set, check out the information above this post to find out more!

Hugs,
