Admit it, you've done it, too - bought some craft item in the store because it looked really cool, then stashed it away and never used it. Well, about 6 months ago, I was looking in the paint section at my local craft store and picked up a 6-pack of Tulip Puffy Paint. Now, I was no stranger to puffy paint. I had used it long ago on various projects, but the bottles had long since dried up and been thrown away. So why did I buy more? Simple...the package said "puffs like popcorn." What a fabulous idea that I just HAD to try - but never did. Never, that is, until Pam gave me my Tuesday Treats assignment, and it was the popcorn box from TBBM! I KNEW I bought that puffy paint for a good reason!
My original idea was to make the box and attach "popcorn" all around the edges, then fill the box with movie candy, a package of microwave popcorn, and movie tickets. This idea rattled around in my brain for weeks, but I could never really picture it in a way that I thought I would like. Then I ran across a card online that was basically a sleeve with a slide-out card, and this idea was born! I'm thrilled with the outcome, and I have a few ideas to use with it, though I'm sure some of you will think of others. Please share them if you do so I can post them here and on Tuesday Treats as updates.
Here are mine:
"We go together like popcorn and movies." (borrowed this one from a stamp)
"POP on over to the theater for a night at the movies, on me." (enclose movie theater gift card)
"POP on over for a movie night and slumber party."
"Popping up a good time......"
"Popping up good wishes for you...."
From Melanie: "Popping by just to say..." (Happy birthday, thank you, congratulations, etc.)
So, pop yourself some real popcorn and pull up a seat to watch the videos. Happy crafting. Just try not to get butter on your projects!!
No, I get to be first!! LOL I think the counter is off!! Anyway, What a WONDERFUL Job!!!! With your permission I am going to have to attempt to make this card!! Gracias! I really enjoyed your videos! I am new to your blog and have immediately become a follower!
This is just absolutely cute-cute-cute!!! I love it, it almost looks real!!! I bought that paint years ago too and threw it out after it dried out, and at the time, couldn't figure out why I'd bought it in the first place and never gave it another thought. Now all the ideas you've inspired with this project... LOL!!! TFS! I just love it.
Cindy, this is so cool! years ago I did a popcorn box on a sweat shirt and used this kinda paint. I never would have thought to do it on a card! thanks for sharing this Yummy treat!
Amazingly creative. You WOW me EVERYTIME. How long did you stare at popcorn before making this? ;-). We love going to the movies and this will be a keeper for sure.
Cindy...you are wonderful!!! The popcorn box...girl...so cute!!! I may be able to do this???? Thanks soooo much for sharing. I hope to use this for teachers' gifts, birthdays..anything!!! I am sorry to hear about all the 'stuff' going on...but you will always have your crafting!!! Courtney
This is totally adorable. Our school is having a popcorn and poetry night and I wish I could make these for invitations but we have too many students for that. Not to mention, I am more of a collector of ideas. Mine never seem to look as cute. Maybe I can make it so the teachers can at least display it in their rooms. Hmmmm... Your designs are great. Thanks for being so so kind and sharing.
