January Key Ingredients Blog Hop!!

Hey everyone, and welcome to my first blog hop with the Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients team!! I am super excited, so forgive me if I messed something up, lol!!

This month's theme was to make a classroom treat for Valentine's!!



For my project, I decided to make a sucker holder/wrap!! To start, you cut a piece of card stock for the wrap to 2 5/8"x 6 1/4". I used different colors of card stock all from the January Key Ingredients Kit. You then score that piece at 1/2", 1", 3 1/2", 4". After scoring it, you punch a hole in the center of the panel between the 1/2" and 1" score lines. then, in the middle of the 1/2" you place a brad so that the flat part will be facing out.



I chose some Jolly Rancher suckers, just be sure the sucker gets a little bit of stick tape on it, so that it doesn't run away.



To finish, decorate the outside however you want!! For my decorations, I used more of the card stock in the Key Ingredients kit, as well as, some brads, ribbon from the KI kit, and the MFT Hearts Die-namics. My sentiment is from the A Year of Sweet Sentiments set.




We are excited to announce that we have LOTS of surprises and fun in store coming with the February kit!! You have until Jan. 31st to order this month's kit- still in PLENTY of time for Valentine's day!
