Snowman with Scarf

I made this snowmans head with the Clear Circle die then used the Pennant Punch for his nose & standard hole punch for his eyes. Cute little guy isn't he?

Envelope Liner Framelits Gift Card Holder

What a fun way to present a"ho hum" gift card!! And what a great way to use your DSPs!!! Use the middle envelope liner framelits & cut 2. The crazier the DSP patterns the better!!! Add a strip of white with a message & ribbon & you're done. The nice thing is that these fit in a regular notecard envelope. Have fun!!!

Christmas Ornaments

Here's a card that teams up the 11/4" circle punch with the Modern Label punch to make the cutest ornaments!!!

Great way to use up your DSP scraps!!! Finish off with some silver ribbon & your favorite greeting.

Super simple Christmas card idea especially if you're considering doing mass Christmas cards for the first time.

Bride & Groom Happiness Always

You remember I posted a similar card in August that I did for my neices' wedding...? Well here's a smaller version but just as elegant!! Love this card!!!

Leaf "Give Thanks"

This sweet card is pretty much self explanatory. I used the script embossing folder on the leaf (from Autumn Accents Bigz die) and sponged it with Cajun Craze & Crushed Curry. The DSP is "Sweater Weather"'. So fun!! 

Square Joyful Tidings

How simple is THIS???  Using your 11/4" square punch & your Christmas paper scraps you can whip out this awesome card!! Add a greeting, ribbon & stitch a little with a marker & there you have it!!! ENJOY!!

Embossed Pumpkin

Hope you are having a delightful Day Of Rest today!!  Here's a sweet pumpkin to send your Thanksgiving greetings to a friend or two!! Simply use the scallop oval Framelit (the largest) & run thro the Big Shot using a folded Pumpkin Pie card, making sure the fold is within the left side of the scalloped edge. Then emboss with your favorite folder.  Add leaves (Fall Accents) embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder. I added curly wire & raffia too. Soooo cute!!!

Winter Frost Merry Christmas

USAF One of the Good Guys

My friend wanted a Air Force "appropriate" card for a celebration event for her brother who was in the Air Force many years ago. Here's what I came up with. I ran it by my nephew who is in the Air Force and HE APPROVED! Whew!!  

Here's the inside:

Sunflower So Grateful

Another great way to use your treat cups!!  The only trick to this card is making sure you stamp the sunflower closer to the right side so your punch will reach!!  Try this card with another bug flower or a huge snowflake!! Happy Stamping!!!

Money/Gift Card Coffee Cup

Here's a fun card we did at card class last month. I made the template then we just traced & cut. What a fun way to give a gift card or money this Christmas. This card wouldn't have to be Christmas necessarily... Switch it up & make it a birthday or thinking of you and it'd be adorable!! 

Little Gobbler

The original card I saw online had stamped feathers. I didn't have that set so I improvised! I used the Blossom Builder Punch to create his tail feathers from Sweater Weather DSP. 

Punch your 1 3/4" circle in white card stock 1st then arrange & adhere feathers around hole. Use punch again to re punch 1 3/4" circle in order to trim off the tag ends of feathers in hole.  Apply adhesive to bottom ONLY of BACK of white CS.  Fit to front of Tangerine Tango CS & press to stuck down. Fill treat cup, take of paper strip that covers the sticky edge & drop in hole from back of white that's adhered to Tangerine Tango on bottom. Press down. Adhere top of white CS to Tangerine Tango CS. Using 1" square punch & 1 1/4" circle punch , create face on treat cup. Add wiggle eyes. Don't create face til after treat cup is adhered in the place it's spoze to be. If you create it before and aren't paying careful attention, you may have a turkey with an upside or sideways face!:)
