I am so darn excited about our upcoming stamp release that I just couldn’t wait to show you at least a little something before the official countdown starts on the 10th! Do you remember how I gave you the hint that there would be a new candy to wrap for those of you who are tired of nuggets?
Well how about my personal favorite, miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
I stamped these specially designed circular labels onto white cardstock.
Then added two mini words to the blank centers of the labels (there are nine mini words total in this set!)
Next I used a 1-1/8" circle punch (EK Success) to punch out the labels.
I then adhered them to the top of the Reese’s Cups. I decided they needed a bit of glam, so I included mini rhinestones in appropriate areas.
I knew I wanted to contain these in our 4oz. square clear top tin, but I felt that the inside needed a little pizazz to set the color of the labels off. So I cut a strip of cardstock measuring 1.25 x 8.25 and stamped it with this fun flourish stamp from one of the new sets that will be revealed next week.
I adhered the strip inside the tin. It really adds a great detail to this piece.
These tins fit four Reese’s Cups perfectly.
Once the inside is completed, you can add a quick box band to the tin created from white cardstock and ribbon. The Kindred Spirits image is on behalf of my love affair with the spirit of friendship celebrated in Anne of Green Gables.
Now this will have to hold you over for a bit! I still have quite a bit of work to do to prepare for our upcoming reveal, but who knows. Perhaps I will be hit by another wave of creativity that just can’t wait till the 10th?!?!??
SUPPLIES:
Ink- purely pomegranate classic ink (SU!)
stamps- Papertrey Ink
cardstock- Purely Pomegranate SU!, Stamper’s Select White from Papertrey
other- stitched pomegranate ribbon from SU, scalloped scissors from Hobby Lobby, large oval punch from SU!, foam dimensional.

Sweet!!! I already know one person I’d like to give these to. Love your tutorials. They are always so helpful. Thank you!
Kirsten Smith says
I am so glad you could not wait. I am like that. If I buy gifts too early I either end up giving them before Christmas or telling the person, becuase I am so excited and childlike!
I love the creations, I have bought so many tins and stamps but I am proud to say…
My husband bought my Christmas present from here and I did not even peek in the box when it came!!!
Laurie We says
I can see I will be gifting myself this Christmas- you are so inspiring- I am having a love affair with your swirls!

Nichole you have done it again. These are great and Reeses Peanutbutter cups are my all time favorite candy. Can’t wait to see the rest.
Denise Rose says
Great! I can’t wait to see more.
Question…what do you use to adhere the paper inside the tins? I tried doing this the other day with a round tin from the stationery set and made a huge mess with it! I used Modge Podge and ended up tearing it because it was too wet when I was trying to smooth out the bubbles. Any suggestions?
Christine Villacarlos says
that is simply divine, Nichole!!! oh oh i am just so glad you decided to give us a sneaky peeky just before the 10th!!!

Nichole I just LOVE your project and I just LOVE the fact your stamp set was inspried by the movie “Anne of Green Gables”. It happens to be one of my favorite movies and I have now got my 12 year old daughter hooked on it.

your style is so unique and wonderful…thanks for the early tease!
Nancy says
I love this sneak peek and can tell that this is another set I could easily purchase without even seeing any more!! Also, my daughter and I have loved Anne of Green Gables for quite some time now… so your ‘kindred spirits’ conjures up those sweet images for me, too… I am so glad I popped over to your blog tonight – even though, as I clicked, I realized it wasn’t the 10th yet! Thanks for the early preview.
Jennifer S says
just toooooooo precious! but the biggest question is how do I resist the lure of the Reese’s while I’m decorating them?!?! huh?! I’m afraid that the few that fit in the box will be all that’s left from an entire bag by the time I get done!! 😀
Joy Kennedy says
You are a Creative Genius!!!!! I can’t wait for the new sets! 🙂

Kris Tolman says
BTW I too LOVE Anne Of Green Gables and the term, “kindred spirits”. I use it frequently and sometimes I get the blank stare. Only a True Kindred spirit would understand…
NancyJones says
