One of the ladies on staff of the agency I work for is getting married this month and I told her for my wedding gift to her I would make favors. She had seen the sour cream containers before and did like them.
Stacie's wedding colors are black, ivory, red and pink.
When Linda and I were in Tulsa on Thursday I looked at Michaels and didn't find anything. Then at Hobby Lobby I did find some papers *okie so prefers HL over M's any day of the week*. I couldn't decide what color I should go with for the container. I first picked out some pink striped paper, and it was very pretty but I decided it might be too much pink. I then found some black and ivory paper but Linda and I decided the print was probably too big. So I settled on this smaller print of black and ivory.I used MS word to print the circle sentiment. The circles and scallop circle are done with paper punches.
If you haven't seen it I did do a video tutorial on the sour cream containers and it can be found here -----> VIDEO TUTORIAL SOUR CREAM CONTAINERS.
Sooo pretty! I just love doing these! I did a bunch last Halloween and the trick/treaters seemed to like them. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I love the paper and the colors. Shari (cricutrookie)
ReplyDeletePerfect choice! I really like the paper! I've always wanted to try some??
ReplyDeleteOkie, I love them!!! They are too pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteThe smaller print worked out perfectly on these. Every time I see these containers I want to get a crimper! I'll bet the bride is going to really like them.

I love the choice of paper!! My question is what are they filled with?? I have a hard time deciding what to fill them with.
ReplyDeleteSharon in the past I have used M&M's but since this is for a wedding I used those butter mint things that you get at weddings and showers. Hobby Lobby had the candy on sale 50% off last week when I was there!
ReplyDeleteBRAVO ... another gorgeous creation by the sour cream container MASTER! =) What a sweet gift to give to your co-worker ... she is going to be delighted by these special little treasures!

I so love these little favors and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna shock Okie by saying.... "I've NEVER Made these"!!! LOL I know whats wrong with me???? I will watch your tutorial and try and make some.... Yours looks great, I love the paper! :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love to make these too. Love the paper used. Very elegant looking. Left you some blog love over on my site if you want it, check it out. :)
ReplyDeleteOkie-I went out yesterday and got a paper crimper to make several of these containers. I bought the one made by Fiskars and it broke at the first twist. So I returned it to only have the same problem happen again!! What kind of paper crimper are you using? Also, are you using cardstock or just scrapbook paper?

Kerri I am using a Marvy. A friend of mine wasn't using it so she sent it to me so have no idea where she got it. I only use scrapbook PAPER not cardstock or designer paper (ie Basic Grey, Bo Bunny, etc.) The paper that Hobby Lobby has in open stock is a good thickness. Any thicker and it doesn't seem to hold together well. I have also used paper from the DCWV 180 stack before and it does well.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteLoved this idea Okie! I made 40 for a wedding just in June. Although, I didn't use pattern paper, I simple used plain bright white cardstock ran it through the textile cuttlebug folder and distressed in the brides colors. They were beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI made some of these filled with dark chocolate M&Ms for all of my co-workers at the end of a particularly difficult week. I handed them out at our staff meeting. I put a tag on them that send "open in case of emergency" (created on the computer & punched out like you did). Now I'm the official "maker of good things" @ work! I couldn't have done it without your video tutorial!
