It�s my pleasure to guest host this week�s Try a New Technique Challenge. This is my first time hosting a challenge and I�m quite excited!
Since preparations for Valentine�s Day seem to be in full swing, I thought it would be fun to try another cute project � Pixie Pouches, from a VSN06 challenge presented by Anita and hosted by Joni Field (jstarbright). (Thanks, Joni!) They�re easy to make and just the right size for a little goodie for your sweetheart, friend, co-worker or a teacher. Let�s see what fabulous ideas you have, and what you decide to fill your pouches with (candy bars, lollipops, cocoa, pixie stix, pencils, pens, etc!)
Here are Anita�s directions from the VSN challenge in Nov. �06. (I made my pouch a little wider (8�) than Joni and Anita's samples to accommodate the width of the cocoa packet and added brads at the edge of the pocket top for reinforcement):
*The dimensions are: � One 7 x 7 inch piece of cardstock (think festive) [or 7 x8 inch piece for wendella247�s] � Fold this in half so it now measures 7� high x 3�� wide (or 7� high x 4� wide for wendella247�s]. � Open it up again, on the seam cut down 1� inches, score across to the cut line, and fold down. This becomes your front flap for the pouch (See example if I have confused you: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/402788?cat=500&ppuser=41472) � I used red line Sticky tape for my remaining 2 seams. _________________

My 3 grandchildren, I love being a Grandma! My profile picture is a 5 generations picture with my granddaughter. I'm the one in the pink. lol (Back Right) Too fun.
Check out my gallery https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/g...0&ppuser=71928
I was looking at the sample and though this would make a cute container for a small Thank you or birthday gift as well as for candy or Hot Chocolate.
Thanks for the great sample and for hosting this challenge.
Wow!!! This was fun and such a cute gift idea!! I'm planning on making some more of these!!! Thanks so much!! I love playing in challenges when insomnia strikes!!! LOL
Oh this was so much fun, thanks so much for this challenge. I will be using it more often, never seen it until today. Here is my: Priceless Sweet Talkin' Pixie Pocket Heart Pouch. Thats a mouth full. lol
I just uploaded my first TLC challenge card. I'm still trying to figure out how all of this works. I can successfully load to my gallery but do NOT know how to get cards linked and put them in this reply. Is there another thread I can read to show me how to do that ??!!!
Thanks so much. I LOVE this little pouch. TFS
