For the Simply Sunday Challenge this week at Getting Cricky with K. Andrews we want to see your wedding theme creations.
Since Spring Weddings are already being planned, I decided to make simple but elegant wedding favors out of sour cream containers. It's to bad there isn't a better name for these little treat containers, the word "sour" just doesn't sound that elegant but that's what they look like.
When I got married, 13 years ago, I had the big church, big dress wedding. If I had to do it again (not that I'm planning on getting married again...LOL), I'd totally do a shabby chic, barefoot, beach wedding and make these favors!
To tell the guest thank you, I stamped K. Andrew Designs Fashionable Friends and Winter Wishes sentiments together. When you invest in a few of Kristal's stamps sets it's really easy to find ways to combine the sentiments together.

Here's how to make these containers:
Strong adhesive
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card stock (I embossed mine with dots)
Tape 3 sides only
Roll and adhere into cylinder.
Pinch and adhere at each end, opposite directions.
For the tag, I cut a 2 inch scalloped circle (Alphalicious cartridge) out of Core Paper which I then sanded and texture embossed. Have you ever used this color Core paper? It's awesome.....looks totally like denim when distressed, right?
I then gave it at Shabby Chic look by adding burlap, raffia ribbon and these cute little Shabby Chic roses that I found in the dollar bin at Michael's.

Hi Holly
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. I am coming to Vegas for a week on Feb 28th, do you need me to bring you a can of Timmys coffee? You don't have them there yet do you? LOL! Great wedding favors and I must agree, a beach weeding sounds so much better.
These are so awesome, Holly!! I love, love the touch of burlap!! I'm going to have to remember that...I love the look of it paired with raffia!! And those roses are so beautiful!! Gorgeous project!! :)

WOW Holly! They look awesome. I love that you didn't use the paper crimper. I don't have one so I thought I couldn't make sour cream containers but you showed me I can. I may use this for the next classroom giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love these Holly. The possibilities are endless!
