ITTY BITTY FAVOR:

Hello there! Here's the sweet little favor I made for the attendees at Card Buffet last week using the set Itty Bitty Greetings. I added color to a toothpick with a Sponge Dauber and Call Me Clover ink. Once it dried I wrapped a 3" piece of Leaf Ribbon around it. I'm not gonna lie, those leaves aren't the easiest to work with, so it might be helpful to snip a couple of them off in the center before you try to tie it:)

Next I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the toothpick and tied a bow. I then stuck the toothpick into a small Reeses Peanut Butter Cup, or a Rolo would probably work too. I punched the center of the flower with a 1" Circle Punch using Early Espresso Cardstock. I punched the flower from Crushed Curry Cardstock using the 1 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch. I adhered them together with a Dimensional and stuck it onto the end of the toothpick.

I had a Workshop a couple of weeks ago and one of the guests added a few items to her order after she got home. She texted me and asked if the 1" Circle Punch and 1 1/8" Scallop Circle Punch worked together? I wanted to make sure they layered well before I answered her so I went up to my stamp room and tried them together and got this adorable little sunflower! When paired together they also make a perfect little sun. I don't know if I would have ever thought to pair them together, so thank you Mari for the wonderful idea!!!

Finally I stamped the cute little sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings with Early Espresso ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. I punched it out with the Classic Label Punch, and used the end of the punch to flag the end of the cardstock. I attached the tag to the flower with a Glue Dot.
