Snailed It Sour Patch Kids Treat Box - Treat Week 2021 Day 6 ~ Rick Adkins

Hello and welcome to my blog; today is day sixth of Treat Week 2021, and I have a super cute project for you today. Today's project features products from the Snail Mail Suite in the Stampin' Up! January-June Mini Catalog.

Day 6 of Treat Week 2021 - Snailed It Sour Patch Kids Treat Box Click here to learn more!

This cute little treat holder features one of my favorite suites in the January-June Mini Catalog.

This is a fun way to take a simple Valentine's Day candy and dress it up a little bit. You could do this to any candy that's the same size as the box of Sour Patch Kids. I have made this same box before and used the Brach's Valentine's candy hearts as the treat on the inside. It's a simple easy design that you can make a lot of in one sitting with few supplies.

Tips & Tricks:

It's a great thing to stamp your images first and sit them aside for a little bit before you color them with your Stampin' Blends. By doing this you give the Tuxedo Black Ink just a little bit of time to dry and soak back into the Basic White Cardstock just a little bit. This also helps to not get any unwanted black ink into your coloring. I find to be particularly helpful if I have just reinked my Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.

I kept the coloring on this image super simple not a lot of shading. Just very light shading around the outline of the image. For projects that you are making more than one of this is a great way to add color but not spend a ton of time on. If you are making these for say your kids classroom, or for co-workers simple coloring would be the way to go.

Video Tutorial:

To finish this treat box I added some of the White Baker's Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack and tied it into a bow, and then sprinkled around some of the Heart Resign Embellishments.
