Makeover Monday- Red, White, and Blue Treats

July-4th-treat-stampin-up-thoughtful-banners-bundle-video-tutorialLet's look at a makeover before Monday is over...how about it?

We are expecting the Brown family for the weekend for our annual Fourth of July Family Reunion.  With the grandbaby here, we are getting in lots of play and snuggling time!  Today, I managed to sneak away to my studio to work on a few projects.

With the Fourth quickly approaching, here's one more easy idea for your own celebrations.  The video from the past features a Thanksgiving favor which I easily transformed to the Independence Day treat.

Lisa's Inklings:

  • The makeover was constructed from the Brights Collection and the 2016-2018 In Color DSP Stack.
  • Whisper White Organza Ribbon substituted for the fabric.
  • Floral Boutique Washi Tape makes for a cute border along the bottom.

Both hobby and business demonstrators love the craft and sharing the how-to and/or their completed projects with others.
