Look at this cute bucket made with the pillow box die! You can find the tutorial on Spiltcoast.
It is pretty easy to make and really fun to decorate and fill with a special gift. I used the Throughly Modern DSP. Love the bright and fun colors in this paper, plus it has cute polka dot patterns in it! I also used the Wings of Friendship Hostess Stamp Set for my label. What you can not see is that I have white jumbo brads holding the handle on, too cute.
So, after seeing the buckets, I saw that someone made a mug! Oh, now I had to make that one as well...
I will fill this one later with some cocoa and candy canes, maybe some chocolate. I also used the thoroughly modern paper on this one (see POLKA DOTS!). I made the label with the Christmas Punches Hostess Set.The poinsettia is made with the Five Petal Flower punch. You score each petal in half and give it a little fold, layer that on another one with a dimensional. I also, snipped a little triangle out of each side of each petal to make it a little more 3D. And, lastly added a pretty half pearl to the center.
Now, you have to go try it. If you need the pillow box die or any of the other supplies used here email me at [email protected]or shop now on my website: www.carrierhoades.stampinup.net .
Happy Stampin'

Carrie,
The bucket and cup are sooo cute. You're going to make me order the pillow die now, huh? :) I really like how they look.
I also made the ball ornament you had on..... it will be the ONLY ornament of that kind I will make; I'm sure you know what I mean. I have gone as far as telling everyone how to make one petal and said when they get 60 of them, I will help them put them together :)
It is really cute and I got lots of raves about it. I know "when I get my pillow die" and make these cute items, I will get the same fun comments. Thanks for your ideas and instructions!
