Tiny Treats: Birthday

It's that time of the month when the Papertrey Ink design team gets together to share a group post focusing on one of the new sets coming out during the next release.  Tonight, for our first group post , we're sharing ideas and sneak peeks using the new Tiny Treats: Birthday stamp set (available January 15th).



The new lunchbox die gave me the idea to create a little package that could be used as a surprise treat for the birthday boy or girl's lunchbox.  The 4 oz round clear top tins that Papertrey carries work perfectly with the Limitless Layers Dies and the new Tiny Treats: Birthday stamp set to create adorable, quick and easy treat packaging.  I cut a small strip of patterned paper from the 2008 Bitty Dot Basics paper pad and adhered it to the bottom of my tin. Then, I die cut a kraft circle and a scalloped white circle using from the Limitless Layers 1.75" circle set.  I stamped my sentiment, border, and bird image and colored the image with copic markers.  My diecut circles fit perfectly on top the tin like they were made for each other.



Since I was using the little bird image, I filled my tin with gummy worms for the bird-day boy or girl (because birds love worms, right? lol), but you could fill it with lots for different treats.  Wouldn't these make a cute surprise in the birthday girl or boy's lunchbox?  They would also work great for quick and easy party favors for any occassion.

Check out the other designers' blogs for lots more amazing inspiration using the new Tiny Treats: Birthday stamp set: Nichole, Betsy, Dawn, Debbie, Erin, Heather, Jessica, Lisa, Maile, Melissa, and Michelle.

Have a great night and thanks for visiting!
