Eat well, laugh often, love much

Happy Monday! All my errands are done, house is half way cleaned and now I am getting to play. YEA!  Last week the boys and I went to the local country mercantile looking for a few gift ideas for some friends of mine. There was so many new things from jarred goodies, candies and packaged food I thought I was going to be there all day. However I found exactly what I was hoping to find! These awesome little spice packets are perfect. The only thing is they looked rather drab so I spruced it up a little with papers, ink and ribbon.
First I stamped the tomatoes from Italian Garden onto classic white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.

Colored them with copic collections:

 

After I cut the tomatoes out I added dimensionals to the back and set them aside. Grabbed some of our Color Made Easy Poppy cardstock and made a belly band around the seasoning packet. Before I secured it I added a scalloped edge using the Color Made Easy Pistachio cardstock.

Die cut some classic white cardstock using Perfectly Pierced Classic Window die and sponged some soft green color before I removed the die and adhered it to the center of the belly band. Wrapped my gingham ribbon around and secured into a bow. Added the tomatoes and some stickles on the leaves. A simple white crystal heart and voila! The red half circle is to cover where I took the silly tag off the top. However works great for pulling out the seasoning packet from the belly band. YEA!!!  Hope you are enjoying your day.
