I saw a really cool project linked from Jen's blog, but I wanted to make it my own way.
I printed off some digi paper onto an ink jet transparency from ShabbyPrincess.com. I cut it in half the long way, having 2 pieces that measured 4.25 X 11. I used sticky strip to attach a CS bottom and a top strip from bashful blue. The top , I scalloped with my SU corner rounder punch.
I punched a scallop, and a 1 3/8 circle out of bashful and chocolate chip CS, gluing them together. I stamped the candies from Lulu's Sweet Delights on white and colored them in with my Atyou Glitter pens and my SU markers. I glued the candy cane and jujube right onto the circles, but added the chocolate with a dimensional. I then used my white gel pen to dot in each scallop.
I inked the sentiment with bashful blue and wild wasabi, stamping it on white. I punched it out with the tag punch, matting it onto another chocolate tag. I added a silver eyelet with my crop-a-dile and threaded it with silver cord (SU- retired).
My handle is this AWESOME double sided ribbon from All That Scraps, that I put through two eyelets on each side. I tied on the tag, and stamped the bottom with the candies. This was an after thought, since it looked a bit plain. Next time, I will stamp it before I stick it on...LOL.
I added some tissue paper, so you could see the awesome printing, but it still isn't as prominent in the picture, as it is a real life. You could add A LOT of sweets to this, and it would make a great gift bag. Have and happy stamping!!
Very cute container! What did you use for the bottom of the container?

Very nice! I'm not sure what digi paper is but I'll check out her site because I just bought some transparencies to make the clear tops for the nugget boxes. Maybe this will be another project I could try. Thanks for sharing.
