This week on Create with Connie and Mary we are having a “Tropical Party”! Every day during this week the team has created a project using the items that coordinate with the tropical set, die and paper! Mary found the footnote flip flops at a local store and just KNEW they would be PERFECT for a special project! And since we just HAD to do something with them…we are sharing them with YOU!
Today is my day to give away Blog Candy on my blog so I have created a little Tropical Treat project to share with you.
I made these little treats for all of my friends at our STARZ retreat this past weekend. I filled 1×8 clear bags with rainbow skittles! Don’t they match the colors in our new Island Oasis paper just perfectly?
I made a tag to tie to the top of each treat by first punching a 1-3/4″ circle from Tempting Turquoise card stock. Then I stamped the palm tree and coconut image on Whisper White card stock. The palm tree is inked with Stampin’ Write Markers – Chocolate Chip for the tree trunk and Old Olive for the leaves. The coconut is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink and then I used my markers to color in the straw and the umbrella. I cut both of these out – the palm tree is attached flat with snail and the coconut is attached with a dimensional. And I did stamp the word “friends” on each one. That stamp comes from the Tiny Tags stamp set. Last punch a 1/8″ hole in the top of the tag and tie it around the top of the bag with some white crochet thread.
Besides the cutting out these are quick and easy little treats.

These treat bags are really cute – and I have some of the bags left over from Easter – guess I’ll have to make some “luau” ones. And….I LOVE the photos of your baby birds. We have a robin return again this year who has built a nest on the flat upper portion of a downspout near our front door. Last year there were 4 baby robins, but I found three of them dead on the ground. I hope more make it this year!
What cute blog candy!! I love the flip flops 🙂 Your blog is so much fun to visit.
