Adorable tin full of RAK!

Happy "Random Act of Kindness" week!  It's always so much fun giving friends and family little gifts, for no reason at all.  We get so busy at times in our lives, that sometimes we forget to just say "Thanks" for being YOU.  So this week, do something special for someone unexpectedly...it will make their day!  You just never know how far that little gift will go.  It might be just what they need to get through a rough time!

While shopping the other day, I came across these cute little tins and knew I had to pick a couple up, knowing I wanted to fill them up with the little candy.  However, that night while browsing Pinterest, you know that website that a lot of us have a love/hate relationship with....because 10 minutes become an hour!  I had seen the little hidden pouch in the tin, and knew I had to "steal" this idea.  I wish I could remember who shared this idea, but I can't...but it is an awesome idea and one I want to pass on to you!  Here is the cute little tin, all together...

And then here is the inside of the tin...

Isn't that just absolutely ADORABLE?!?!?  It is just a toilet paper tube that I put pattern paper around and then attached it to the bottom of the tin with some glue dots.  Proceed to fill the outside with candy, this is the tricky part, and then you can put whatever you want in the little hidden pouch!  These would be adorable to make into "mini Easter Baskets".

If you are looking for an Easter or Spring stamp set that is full of FUN, AJVD Hello Spring is the way to go!  I get so many compliments when I use this stamp set and have inspired others to add it to their collection!  So hop to it and get yours....you won't be disappointed!

Here are some additional photos...

Also, the paper that I used is PERFECT for these cute little RAK...so BRIGHT and CHEERY!  This is the "Easter-rific" collection by Moxxie.  This paper goes great with this stamp set and I couldn't have found candy to match any better either!  You will definitely get some HIGH marks for this little gift!



 Thanks for stopping by and I hope your enjoying RAK week!

Valetine Combo!

Hello everyone!  It's Misty here with an ADORABLE gift cardholder, along with a CUTE Valentine's card.  I know sometimes I dislike giving "just" a gift card to someone, but why not make one of these quick and easy gift card holders.   Some of you might have already seen my gift card holder, but make sure you checkout the matching card I created to go with it!

 

 

 

Anyone would LOVE to get one of these little creations, along with a gift card from there favorite LSS!  This cute little envelope die, tag dies and stamps are all from A Jillian Vance Designs.  l highly recommend taking some time and checking out their website if you are a stamp and die lover...there are some CUTE ones!!  

 

I also created a card to go with this gift card holder.  I used one of the NEW sketches from Simple Sketches:

 

 

 Here is my card that I created:

 

 

This card is so fun and simple!  Both the card and the gift card holder was made using Moxxie's "How I Love Thee" Valentine collection.  I love the bright and bold colors and how that black makes the pattern paper POP!!  The white stitching, swirls and dots, are all doodling that I did with a white pen!  I LOVE the way doodling looks but sometimes I forget to do it!

 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope this inspires you how to creatively give your loved one or friends their next gift card!

 

Blessings & Hope...
