I scream, You scream...

Gift baskets are so fun to create, and they make fabulous gifts. For one of my best friends and her children, I made an icecream sundae basket. Her children and small - 6 & 3, but I didn't want to get them toys since I know they will be showered with them already this Christmas. Sometimes, consumables are the way to go... :) And besides, what is better than icecream?

I found a fun metal bucket and some cute polkadot bowls and then gathered up my toppings. To dress things up, I made tags using Papertrey Ink's Sweet as Can Be Stamp Set and Tag Sale #1 die. For the bucket tag, I used Winter Penguin, the Damask Snowflakes Dies, and the tiny icecream cone from Tag Its #4.









Supplies:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Sweet as Can Be, Winter Penguin, Tag Its #4, Paper Smooches Sugar Rush (for sprinkles on the icecream cones)
Paper: PTI Stampers Select White, Kraft, Raspberry Fizz, Hawaiian Shores, Royal Velvet
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa, PTI Berry Sorbet, Lemon Tart, Pure Poppy, Tea Dye Dyo

Gift Card Holders

I will be including some giftcards as gifts for the boys' teachers and my best friend for Christmas, and I made these little envelopes to put them in. I used PTI's Seed Packet die, their Winter Penguin Stamp set to make the patterned paper, and for the cup immage and sentiment, one of my favorite sets from Paper Smooches, Hot Concoctions.



These 2 are for the boys' teachers, and I will be entering these in the Colour Q - #114 Challenge.









The last one is for my best friend. She is not a Starbucks girl, and loves Dunkin Donuts, so that's what's going in her gift card envelope! :) I used the Paper Smooches Sugar Rush set for this one (for the donut) :)
