Here’s a fun project for this time of year, this Tiny Treat Box So Hoppy Together Frog! Isn’t that little frog so cute? It’s part of a cute stamp set you can earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration! After you spend $50, you can choose a free product in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. This stamp set is one you can choose and I think will be very popular!
If you have any leftover Christmas candy, it would be fun to use the green candies with this frog. If you don’t have any, go buy some Christmas candy on clearance now and stock up on green candies to use with this frog stamp set! How fun!
I started with one of the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I think everyone should have a package of these on hand because they are so easy and fun to use! They come flat so it’s easy storage. Just assemble when you are ready with a project. You can wrap paper around the box, ribbon, add stamped images or embellishments for any occasion!
The frog from So Hoppy Together is stamped with Memento Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I used Old Olive and Granny Apple Green markers with a touch of Pineapple Punch. Also, a little Smoky Slate just to give him some grounding. An artistic friend told me one time that you should always use a little yellow when you use green. I punched out the frog with the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch just to make it easy. The saying is in the set. It is punched out with the Classic Label Punch and just trimmed it to fit.
Around the box, I tied the 3/16″ Braided Linen Thread. The regular Linen Thread had always been one of my favorites to have on hand and I’m adding this Braided Linen Thread to the list. It’s useful as a neutral but lovely being braided.
Here’s a similar Clear Tiny Treat Box decorated for Christmas with Santa!
