Christmas "Santa" treat box

This box took a little more time to make.  It involved inking the edges of the cardstock and embossing a square scallop punch with gold.  I also included the rhinestone brads to add a little "bling".  I used the scallop edge punch for Santa's suit and inked the edges of everything for more dimension.

"Frankie" Treat Boxes

"Frankie" is here.  I had so much fun using different punches to create these very simple treat boxes.  I started with 10x5 inch card stock (you can vary to the height by using 10x4 or 10x6 etc. to go taller or shorter.  Sign up for a class and learn exactly how to score the paper and fold into a box.

I then used a couple of the circle punches to punch out the eyes, eyelids and just drew the mouth and stitches on with a marker.  The hair is cut free-hand with scissors.  Stick a cello bag inside with a couple of treats and tie with a ribbon and you have the perfect teacher, friend or co-worker gift.

Let me hear your thoughts.

Fun Frankenstein

I'm working on ideas for my halloween "Treats" class and came up with this fun Frankenstein card. 

Gold Embossing

My son was having fun playing with the gold embossing powder and he did such a nice job that I used the images for a couple of quick and easy cards.

 

Post It Note Holder

This is a cute post it note holder.  I used crushed curry cardstock as the base.  It's a 5"x8" piece and scored at 3 3/4 & 4 1/4.  I then cut three pieces of rich razzleberry cardstock to fit on the outside and one on each of the inside covers.  I used razzleberry lemonaid designer series paper to add a little texture and very vanilla ribbon to tie it all together.
The cover has a circle flower made from the scallop circle punch with the edges inked.  The center is a 1/2 inch circle punch with a square fire brad in the center.

Great as a hostess gift or a little thank you for a friend etc.  You can also add a small pencil as well.  I didn't have any at home - but there is plenty of room along the side to make a loop out of ribbon or cardstock to hold a pencil.

Ornament Punch

This is a soft suede card stock and then I used the new ornament punch from the holiday mini catalog and punch out 6 ornaments out of crushed curry.  I inked the edges and placed them in a circle.  Then I punched out melon mambo with the scallop circle punch.  I cut small cuts ever two scallops to create definition and more of a flower shape and I inked the edges of that one two.  Then to add the soft suede again - I used the 1/2' circle punch and then used the fire circle brad in the center.  For the leaves I used very vanilla ribbon cut down the center and folded over to create the leaf shape.   

Christmas Stamp-A-Stack 9/13/09

Here are all five designs for the Christmas SAS class I will be doing on 9/13 & 9/18.

Christmas Stamp-A-Stack Card #4

Here is card number 4.  I think this is my favorite so far.  It's using the Dasher stamp with whisper white and  real red card stock and real red and chocolate chip markers with real red ribbon.  Very simple but vey effective.
