Halloween gift notes!

I rarely give 'gifts' for Halloween, but I really wanted to do something with these cute boxes that are in the Holiday Mini! Kraft boxes 2.95

I decorated the outside with the designer paper

Inside is 6 cards just for gifting! It includes envelopes! I am giving this to one of my downline who always purchases kits for my Stamp a Stacks and other card classes....

it's a gift to say..."THANK YOU!"...

love you Issy! :)

Love-Dianne

Christmas Stamp a Stack

Now...this isn't a typical Christmas card that I would normally do...but it has the colors and feel of Christmas and yet can be a card to give out at Thanksgiving. The designer paper has the roses for the holiday flower instead of poinsettias, and

using the pine trees makes it more simple.

The tri-fold was accomplished using the Simply Scored tool! Quick and easy to use, and can make your card making easier!

Holiday 2011 Mini Catalog Kick-off! Projects

These were the 3 projects we completed yesterday at the Kick off!

The fall leaves were a BIG Hit! What a beautiful stamp set, and the combination of 2 step stamping is a simple way to make it look even more spectacular!

The Stocking card was another fun way to show how to use a Sizzix die and still make it into a card by folding it and placing the fold away from the edge of the die......

The last one was the cute stocking punched card and the pennant die doily. I think they are going to need to come up with more doily dies..don't you??

Stocking Card

Another stocking card, but this time...it is one large enough to really put in a treat! I love this stocking. I Have to find other seasons to use a stocking for...can we create a seasonal stocking like a Easter Stocking, Thanksgiving stocking, and Halloween stocking?? Maybe Valentines too?

Sweet Treat boxes

Beyond the Garden treat boxes are elegant when the wrapped candies not only show off the beautiful papers, but show off the new Candy Wrappers! I stamped the 4 YOU on a ordinary address label sticker, cut it out and placed it over the designer paper.

Be sure to read the HERSHEY's disclosure on their website for restrictions on wrapping candy. (yes, there are restrictions) If you're giving away the candy boxes to people as favors, then it probably isn't so restrictive, but if you're planning on selling what you've made, please be sure to follow the guidelines, so you won't get into any legal problems!

I wrapped the candies using designer paper which is stuck to itself, and can be removed by sliding it off. The label is stuck to the paper....

The flowers were die cut and run through the texture folders, and I just love the sponged effect on the edges...

If you're coming to the class on Sunday, this is what you'll receive... hint -wink! :D

Hang up those stockings!

Hang up those stockings because Christmas is only 122 days away! I love the new sets in the NEW HOLIDAY Mini! I think the punches and the stamps are soo cute!


This new punch coordinates with the stocking punch. The Merry Christmas is from the new Hand Penned Holidays stamp set of 4 words, all elegantly scribed!

YOU can order from the New mini starting Sept 1st. Be sure to look through the current Mini to be sure there isn't something that you want from that book before it is all gone!
