You wouldn't think I was talking about a card would you? But I am. In the new Holiday Mini catalog that starts September 1, there is a fun new product in there called Sweet Treat Cups.
I played around really quick like with them, and the new Nouveau Chic Designer Series paper, and I used up the rest of my fancy schmancy M&M's that match the paper. I need to get some more, they are yummy and I have another idea rolling around in my head. This is the Tri-Fold Shutter card, and I used the pattern that has the full size front, you can see how to do it here.
Stamp Set: Kind & Caring Thoughts
Ink: Basic Black, Apricot Appeal
Paper: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Nouveau Chic DSP, Apricot Appeal
Misc: Black grosgrain ribbon, My Way punch, sweet treat cups, Flower Folds Bigz Die, 1 3/4" circle punch, nestability scallop circle, Fresh Favorites I buttons
I didn't do too much decorating on the inside, a little ribbon tied with a button on it, and a simple greeting. The DSP is so pretty and I didn't want the card to be too busy…I mean heck aren't they gonna tear it up to get to the yummy goodness inside the treat cup? We will also be selling special envelopes so you can mail your little yummy goodness to your friends and family.
Here is a little better close-up of the treat cup/flower center. Neat eh? So many ideas to use with them, what do you think would be neat to go inside?

This looks really nice. can you believe I have not tried one of thes cards yet. I need to get my poop in a group!
Wonderful card, Diane! What a great idea to use the treat cups for this card.
Hugs and smiles
THose treats would become petrified because I couldn't make myself tear up that beautiful card. It would have to be displayed in my craft room forever more.
