Totally Terrific Thursday

I Heart Ippity project.

Time to fire up the Zig Markers and dust off that jar of glitter!

I love lollipops...they're whimsical and remind me of an old-fashioned game of Candy Land :) 

My daughter gets invited to a lot of birthday parties...and I'm usually the last to know.  It's great to have handmade cards, gift wrap, bags and boxes on hand at all times.  So, I decided to create a little gifting box that's the perfect size for those 'best friends' necklaces, which my daughter loves to give.

I used the 

sucks to get old 

Itty Bitty Stamp Set IPPITY-IB-010

 For my gifting box, I used a premade container by Martha Stewart (got them on clearance at Wal-Mart).

I stamped the lollipop image with Staz-On Black ink onto a scrap of October Afternoon (Modern Homemaker) patterned paper.  I then colored in the dotted portion of the image with a Basic Red ZIG marker.  For the non-dotted portion, I glittered with a bit of iridescent glitter.  I trimmed the lolli part of the pop out and glued on a plastic candy stick (but you could use the paper sticks from actual lolli pops).  I then glued on a cute ribbon bow and pearl for the center of the lolli!  Wrap a strip of patterned paper trimmed in ric-rac around the box and wallah...you're done!

 What little girl wouldn't love getting this sweet box with a gift tucked inside?  What little girl wouldn't love giving this?

Have a totally terrific Thursday...see you next week :)
