Love the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes for making Halloween treats! They will hold 6 Ghirardelli Squares perfectly! I only have 5 in this one because, well, they are delicious! I have my scarecrow punched twice so that both front and back are the same. I was inspired by treats made by Janet Wakeland. I used the Spooky Fun bundle for the pumpkins and the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the post. Now, if I was making these for trick or treaters, I would scale it down a bit and make less work for me, but this is still pretty quick and easy! I also would use cheaper candy if making for little kids! I thought this would make a special thank you for our mail carrier or my hair stylist! I used various markers but you wouldn't even have to color if you didn't want to. Supplies are shown below. Just click and order!

Yes, this is the spooky tree from the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies but I think it makes for a very sparkly Christmas Card! The tree is die cut from the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. The same paper is used for the stars that are punched with the Confettie Stars Border Punch. My blues for the background were done by swiping 3 different hues of blue ink pads randomly across the Whisper White cardstock. I thought the Star of Light stamp set works perfectly with this card! Supplies are shown below.

How about a Fall card? I just had to play with this bundle! I could have made it Halloween and jack o lanterns but kept it all fall. I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the hint of "wood grain" on the fence posts and the scarecrow pole. The sentient is from the Tin of Cards stamp set and love how it looks on this card! Supplies are shown below. Just click and order!

Love, love, love the new Dynamic Cable Knit Textured Embossing Folder. I googled cable knit sweaters and most every one has the knit design going vertically. I tweaked this idea from Tami White and Sue Parker. Their cards are gorgeous but do have the "ribbing" going horizontally. My sentiment is hard to see but it says "IT'S YOUR BIG DAY!" You could use whatever you like for your buttons. I used the Metal Rimmed Pearls and/or the Metallic Enamel Shapes. You could punch small circles and make them look like buttons or use your own retired stash of buttons. We will be making one of these cards for September Clubs! Remember you do not have to be local to participate in our clubs, and one month you get to be hostess and receive the hostess freebies! Supplies are listed below. Just click and order.
Here are more pictures of how I did this card. My card base is 4.25" x 11", scored at 5.5". I used Thick White Cardstock so that is why I used the Circles Framelits for the neck opening. If you use, the regular Whisper White or Very Vanilla, you may be able to punch a 2" circle. My sweater layer is 5.5" x 4.25'". My strips I did using a larger scrap piece of cardstock, and then scored on every groove with the Simply Scored. Then I cut in 1/2" strips. You need two strips that are 4.25" long, and two that are maybe 2.25", and one smaller strip that you will also trim for the pocket. If you have a crimper, you could also use this. Spritz your cardstock with water or alcohol before running through the Big Shot with the embossing folder. My neckline of the sweater was created by making a tick mark 1 1/8" inch from each side (shoulder), and then a tick mark in the top center at 2 1/8", then straight down from that center tick mark, make another tick mark about 1.5" down. Cut from the two outer tick marks to the lower center mark. I also trimmed the pocket piece to match up to my embossing.

This is the best organization of Washi Tape that I really like! I use book rings, a 1 3/4" Circle Punch, and a hole punch. I took the end packaging off of the Washi Tape on some and adhered it to Whisper White cardstock, then punched with the circle punch. I like to put the colors on the back side of this circle so I know what cardstock colors to use. I bought my book rings at Walmart in the Office section but they may have them in the craft section, too. I just keep them on the rings and my club members use right from that. I do not want my washi tape mixed with the other selections! Some I did not use the packaging at all but wrote the name, and order number on one side and the colors on the other. Now go organize your washi tape!

Look at the detail on this card! See all the new product? I used the Christmas Pines stamp set and coordinating Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies which can be purchased as a bundle saving you 10%. Then I used the Pine Bough Textured Embossing Folder, and the Presents & Pinecones Designer Washi Tape. It is hard to see but I stamped on the pinecones after die cutting them. Check out the Stampin'Up! supply list below and just click and order! Easy peasy!
