Hogs and Kisses

Hello and Happy Thursday!!

Today I have a cute little project to share with you.

Yesterday was my 14th Anniversary.

Since I have been laid up with my foot surgery,

I was unable to shop to get something for my hubby.

I decided to make him a yummy box of treats!!

My inspiration for this project was

the cute little KISS die from

My Creative Time. 

Chocolate Greetings Die and Stamp set.

I started with a box that I recycled.

This box was perfect for what I had in mind.

It was a black box with a red lid.

I just needed to decorate it.

My cute little HOG is a morphed character!!

The head is from Animal Kingdom and

her body is from Teddy Bear Parade.

Her cute little face is from

Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed.

I attached the head with an Action Wobble.

My HOG is hugging a chocolate kiss that I cut

from a foil paper that I have had for ages

and have never used!!  I crumbled it up

a bit to give it the look of a real kiss!!

The flags and sentiments are from

the same set.

This sentiment is from Just Because Cards

and the Hearts are from My Creative Time

Stitched-Scallop-Heart-Die-Set

and

Stitched-Heart-Layering-Dies.

I finished my bos off my added some

My Craft Spot crinkle ribbon around the

edge of the box.

And here is a picture of the inside!!

I covered the inside with some red tissue paper.

I made my hubby some yummy chocolate

covered strawberriesand chocolate brownie

cake pops!!  This was the first time I ever

made anything like this. I had bought a cake pop

maker almost a year ago and have never used it!! 

 I made my brownie cake pops with a

boxed chocolate  cake mix and a can of

canned pumpkin.  I added some chopped

 pecans for crunch.  I popped the batter into my

cake pop maker and they came out almost

perfect on the first try!!  I the chocolate coating for

 both the strawberries and cake pops waas a whole

different matter...lol.  I ruined the first two batches

but the 3rd time was a charm!!

I was really proud of my little treat box

and my husband loved it!!

Now my son wants me to make one

for his "girlfriend" for Valentine's Day

but he already paid $30.00 and ordered

them online.  Next time he will

know to ask mom first!!

I will be entering this project in the following challenges:

Hello all my crafty friends,

today is Theme Day Thursday

at My Cricut Craft Room.

 

The theme today is

"Perky Penguins"

 

Today I decided to do something

a little different.  A few months ago

I found this great idea HERE

Nadia shows how you can use

Teddy Bear Parade and other cartridges

to make morphed characters.

Today, I made a morphed penguin!!

I used the penguin head from

Animal Kingdom and the body

and outfit from Teddy Bear Parade.

Here is my morphed Penguin Elf!!

 

I scraplifted the idea and color scheme from HERE

The penguin and body are cut at 3".

The pink layer was cut with

Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles.

I also layered a Nestabling on top.

The white layer was cut

using my paper trimmer and the

corners were punched with a

Martha Stewart punch, then

embossed with the Swiss Dots folder.

The Penguin was

mounted using an action wobble.

I also added some designer trim

from Webster's Pages.

 



 

The eyes were stamped using

Peachy Keen's Bird Faces.

 

The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's

Mistletoe Stamp Set and stamped

onto Tiny Doilies Metal Dies.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Please be sure to stop by
