Now, we'd like to inspire you a bit more and show you just how awesome these sets are, so I hope you will hop along with the team today and check out what everyone has created!!  This is quite the creative bunch!!
If you've arrived here from Teresa's blog, your hopping right along.  If not, start at Claire's blog for a complete list of the the Waltzers.


I wanted to make some candy bag toppers for 4th of July this year since I've found some fun patriotic themed candies.  I used the USA 1776 set, and started by making a rosette, for this first package of Gummy Bears, and included a mini-star embossed background and one of my favorite sentiments in this set.  I love what it stands for and how Claire fonted it.



Okay, aren't these candles just the sweetest!!!  I LOVE them, and thought they would go beautifully on the packaging of these super fun twizzlers.  I framed them with the star frame image and added the "Happy 4th" sentiment along the side.  I also added a bit of sparkle cause that's what this holiday has a lot of.  :)

Tip:  If you'd like the staples hidden, as I have on this package, just staple the base (Mine is white), then adhere a decorative panel to the top to hide them.

That's it for me today.   Next up on the Waltz is the sweet, and oh so inspirational, Becca.

I am unsure if I left a post, though I did try, I got an error. So if this is duplicate, I apologize.
I said words to the effect of:
oooh those are super.
Wonderful!

These are SO CUTE!!! A creative way of using the red white and blue-- I could see a float in a 4th of July parade with people tossing these to the crowd, if it wouldn't make someone crazy making enough. Darling!
