Hi everyone !
It’s Pooja back with another TGIF post !
I hope u had a good week and are gearing up for the weekend ahead !
Today I have a tutorial for you !
I made something CAS (Clean And Simple) this time.
Some gift cones !
Let’s check it out
I just made some Gift cones for my friends with some tasty Indian toffies inside.
People here really love those sweet and sour Indian Imli toffies. {Me included!}
So I decided to pack them in some cute cones!
As you can see they are Clean and Simple (CAS) this time.
I have stamped and coloured the image for the flowers on two of the cones.
And I have used some itsy bitsy butterflies on the other two!
I really love how they turned out!
So lets see how I made them.
· Take a 12 x 12 pattern paper and cut it into 4 equal squares. Each square gives you 1 cone.
· Keep the paper as shown above (Right side down) and fold over the left side.
· Glue on the right side of the paper as shown. You can use a tape runner too but I am using a wet glue .
· Now glue over the right side of the paper over the left and form your cone.
· Think about how u want to embellish your cones. I decided to use the Sizzix Framlits Die & Stamp Set – Garden flowers . This is a wonderful die set which contains lovely cling rubber stamps with coordinating dies.
· After I stamped my flower image I coloured it using alcohol markers , Itsy bitsy has a good variety of alcohol markers if you want to check them out.
· Once coloured just die cut your stamped image! J
· My next step was to fill the cone with my Imli candies.
· Once done flip the cones over and stick the die cut images on the top corner with glue.
· Again flip the cone over again and close the flap over to see how it looks.
· Now add a glue dot underneath the die cut and secure the flap.
· After that add the sentiment banner. Here I have used left over banners from a Pattern paper I had.
· Meanwhile with the same technique I made 2 more cones but with the lovely butterflies from the Gardenia Party .
Here are some more pictures
Isn’t that a wonderful way to share some love?
I always enjoy packing my gifts however small they are with innovative tricks.
Which is always fun to receive!
Hope that I have inspired you enough to try your hands on this simple technique.
See u on another Friday!
Cheers!
