7 Days to St. Patty's - Day #5: Sour Cream Container

Happy Friday Before St. Patrick's Day!!

Do you know what happens when you go to bed and realize that you haven't done your Friday blog post? That's right, you leap from your bed to your craft room in a single bound!! Okay, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration because I am definitely not Superman, or Superwoman, nor Superanything at the moment except Supertired which means that this post is likely going to be Supershort or possibly even Supersilly because that seems to be the direction in which it is heading!! Having said that, I am going to assume that you are here for my craftiness rather than my antics ... or maybe it is my antics ... or maybe it is for both ... or quite possibly maybe for neither! Whatever the reason, I am glad you are here and I will go ahead and show you today's project before you become like Nicolas Cage and are Gone in 60 Seconds roll your eyes, shake your booty head, and move on to the next blog! Today I present to you ... a sour cream container!!!

Actually, wait just a minute! Before I go showing you my stinkin' cute container, I have to tell you that my original plan was to post a picture of an ORIGINAL sour cream container in addition to my version; however, after days hours of searching, and even calling in additional researchers, a picture of an original container is nowhere to be found!! I kid you not, and I know it's hard to believe, so go ahead and search for yourself!! As a matter of fact, I challenge you to find me a picture of an original single serving sour cream container and in return, I will post the name of the first person who finds it on my blog and make you famous let the world know that you are obviously a much better researcher than I am. I will tell you that we spent close to seven hours searching everything from sour cream, to sour cream container, to single serving sour cream container, to twisted tube, to Daisy (the company that made them), and Borden (in case it wasn't Daisy), and more. We searched every possible word / combination of words we could think of and found zip, zilch, nada, nothing!! Now that I've made a big deal about it being impossible to find a container, I'm sure one of you, my dear readers, will find one in no time at all. So when you do, please post the picture (and link to where you found it) on my Facebook Page for all to see.

And now for my super simple and absolutely adorable St. Patrick's Day Sour Cream Container ...

This container was a lot of fun and exceptionally easy to make using the directions found HERE. If you decide to make a container of your own, please leave a link to your project in the comments section below - I'd love to stalk your creation see what you made.

Make sure and check back tomorrow! You won't want to miss this ...

That's all for me today!!
Until next time ... Happy Sour Cream Container Searching & Making!!! 

Hugs, Smiles, Blessings, and Happy Stamping!!

Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

What do a shamrock, the color green, the word "Lucky", and St. Patrick's Day have in common?!? That's right, they are the theme of my card for this week's MOJO Monday Sketch. Julee Tilman designed a dreamy little sketch and I thoroughly enjoyed creating this little work of he{art}.  I started off with a Basic Black card base, adhered some Gumball Green DSP to a piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock and stitched around the edge. What's that?!? I know, I know!! WHO KNEW that Wild Wasabi matched the light green polka dots on the Gumball Green DSP?!?  I sure didn't ... but they do ... and it works for me!!  Next, I embossed a piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhered it to a piece of Basic Black cardstock, cut a mat using my Perfect Layers tool  and stitched around those edges too. Then I used my square Nestabilities to cut a piece of striped Gumball Green DSP. I adhered it to a piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock, used my Perfect Layers tool to make a mat, and then stitched around the edges.  I used a smaller square die to cut out the center window and then used my Postage Stamp punch to punch a piece of Basic Black cardstock that I embossed using my Square Lattice embossing folder.  I stamped the shamrock from the Lucky Day stamp set in Wild Wasabi Classic ink and attached a Basic Jewel in the center.  I made my banner using Whisper White cardstock and used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to position the word "Lucky!". I used a ton of Dimensionals to attach each of the layers which gave my card lots of ... wait for it ... DIMENSION!!
One trick that I stole learned from, a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, was to die cut the back side of my cardstock to prevent the embossed lines from the die from showing on the front of my cardstock. Genius, if I do say so myself!!

Did you notice that I added a "Shop With Me" button on the right side of my blog as well as the Pinterest pinning buttons on my images?!? I added them at the request of one of my dear readers because I'm nice like that I aim to please. I'd love to read your feedback about them, as well as anything else that you would like to see on my blog. Please leave me a comment at the bottom of this post and stay tuned for a couple more additions that will make your social media sharing experience even easier.

I'm off to see what kind of crafty trouble I can get into goodness I can come up with to blog about next.

Stampin' Hugs & Blessings!
