The card base is Crumb Cake, with Wild Wasbi and Pretty In Pink circles. I punched the circles using the 1 3/4, 1 3/8, and 1 1/4 inch circle punches. Then I adhered them to the Chocolate Chip layer, cutting off the excess. Then I ran it through the Big shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Perfect Punches stamp set. The ribbon is the Crumb Cake seam binding.

Designer Frames Embossing Folder, Thoughts and Prayers stamp set
I am thinking I may have this as one of the cards for this Sunday's card class. What do you think? Playing with the pearls also. Just want to make sure I have enough. The concord crush cardstock is done with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder done first. Then I ran it through the Big Shot again with all the tabs open, for the Designer Frames embossing folder. I used Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz markers to ink the Thoughts and Prayers image and then punched with the Extra Large Oval and it fits perfectly! This card can be used for a Sympathy, Birthday, Thank You, or Thinking of You. I have it stamped with Happy Birthday on the inside. The ribbon is the 1/2 inch Stitched -Poly ribbon.

Santa Belt Circle Card
I am trying to come up with a card with a Santa Belt for an upcoming card class per request of some attendees. This card uses the large clear circle die, and the 3.5 inch circle die. Punches used are the scallop square, 1 inch square, and the circle from the Itty Bitty Punch pack. The sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set. The beard is made from the Scallop Oval punch and the Elegant Lines embossing folder. Love the silver glimmer paper. It is soooooo sparkly!

Gently Falling Stamp set, It's a Wrap Holidays Stamp set
Tried to take a photo that would show the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint on the leaf but it is not letting you see the sparkle. I used Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango, and More Mustard for the reinkers on a baby wipe technique. The Very Vanilla cardstock is cut at 1 inches x 3.25 inches for the wrap around the Hershey's nuggets. The Pear Pizzazz cardstock base is 3x5 inches, scored at 1 3/8, and stapled to the small filled cello bag. The soft suede cardstock is cut at 1.25 x 2 7/8, and the Spice Cake designer series paper is cut at 1 1/8 x 2 3/4 inches. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched with the word window punch with the excess behind the leaf. Wessington Club members will be making this today!

Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper gift box
Isn't this so Christmassy and elegant looking? This was a make and take that Karla Anders shared with us at my downline meeting this month. The box was simple to make, and of course the lolly on top finishes it off beautifully. The stamped image is from the Pines & Poinsettias stamp set from the Holiday Mini, page 21. The lolly is made from the Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper from page 20 of the Holiday Mini. I should use this as a hostess gift but I want to keep it. Hurry and book a workshop with me and I will make you one as your hostess gift!
Candy Corn Petal Cone Die treat holder
Isn't this just such a cute idea? Karla Anders came to my downline meeting this month and shared 2 make and takes with us. She moved to South Dakota from Wisconsin a year ago and this was my first time to meet her. She is very talented and friendly. It was a treat having her here and I hope she continues to join us every month. This treat favor is made from die cutting portions of the petal cone die three different times, and then adhering the parts together. Fill with candy corn or treat of your choice!
Another Scallop Circle dress card!
I think this is the final sample that we will go with. I used the Silver glimmer paper and the flower punch from the Itty Bitty punch pack. My daughter thinks it is perfect. The card base is Whisper White.

Scallop Circle Dress Card
My daughter called yesterday wanting some thank you's for her sorority to send out for their Red Dress Gala fundraiser donations. She wanted them simple and blank inside and Alpha Phi on the front. Their dresses they wore were all red with no other colors, but I may still add just a little bling somehow. We did change the oval to say "Thank you from Alpha Phi". I best get busy mass producing these as her boyfriend will pick them up tomorrow. I used the Scallop Circle #2 die and the large oval punch to punch out the sides of the dress. Then I ran it through the Big Shot with the Finial press embossing folder. I also used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder for the front of the Whisper White Card base.
