Lots of Joy Treat Bag

Here's a fun Holiday Treat for You!!

I had so much fun putting these bags together using the Gift Bag Punch Board - this Punch Board makes it so simple to create cute bags in minutes!!

Each person that came to my Customer Appreciation Event last month received one of these cute treat bags as a "thank you" for being such an awesome customer!!

Gift Bag Punch Board  135862  $20.00

Here are all the features of the Gift Bag Punch Board: 

Instead of buying bags for small treats and gifts, create them in a variety of sizes using the cardstock or Designer Series Paper of your choice. The Gift Bag Punch Board makes it super simple to create gift bags in varying sizes. All you have to do is punch, score, and adhere.

* Makes bags 2" deep in heights from 3" to 10" tall
* Makes bags in 3 widths: 2-5/8", 3-1/8", 3-5/8"
* Lightweight and portable
* Has a fold-away score extender and a scoring tool that tucks into a convenient storage slot
* Measurements printed on the board
* Instructions included

I used a 5"x11" piece of card stock and made the small (2 5/8" width) treat bag.  This gave me a bag that was about 3 1/2" tall once it was completed - the directions are so easy to follow!!  And they are so cute!!

I also made fun banners for each gift bag using the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper, Real Red Card Stock and the Banner Framelits.

Next, I stamped "Noel" from the Lots of Joy Stamp Set and punched it out with a 1 3/8" Circle Punch.  This piece was layered on top of a Real Red piece punched with the Label Bracket Punch.

Finally, I added a little Real Red Pom Pom Trim clipped on with a Mini Metallic Clothes Pin to the banner.  What fun!!

A Happy Hello... Into the Woods

This is such a fun card!!  Owls are one of my favorite things!! 

I wanted to show the versatility of this stamp set and framelits, too - it's not just for Halloween, you know!!

We start our card with an Old Olive card base, then added a layer of the Into the Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the front of the card.  I also added a couple of small banners to the top of the card using 2 other prints found in the Into the Woods DSP.

A little Old Olive candy dot in the corner of one of the banners completes this part of the card!

Sending you a Flurry of Wishes

Everyone loved the snowflakes paired with the Christmas trees (I did, too!).

We start our card with a Lost Lagoon card base, then added a layer of Whisper White card stock.

Next, we stamped those beautiful snowflakes from the Flurry of Wishes Stamp Set in Lost Lagoon ink.  The sentiment "Sending you a Flurry of Warm Christmas Wishes" is also from the Flurry of Wishes Stamp Set

That's all it takes to add gleaming dots of shine to your projects!
