September Card Club Samples

These were cards made at our September Card Club classes:

We started with a skinny card, using the new For All Things stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. The Crumb Cake base was stamped with the big leaf from the set, using Versamark ink. The edges were sponged heavily with Soft Suede ink. We tore the Naturals Ivory square to fit, and sponged the edges with Hello Honey ink. The square was stamped, also using Hello Honey, and the leaves were added with Mossy Meadow ink.

A strip of Burlap Ribbon, Newsprint Designer Series Paper and Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin ribbon add texture; a Gold Basic Metal Button, threaded with a little bow made from the burlap ribbon is stuck on with a Mini Glue Dot, and the sentiment was stamped on a skinny strip and adhered with a Dimensional.

Next up, Bonnie's card:

An elegant Christmas card, using Bright and Beautiful, and the Star Framelits. The smaller star was stamped with Versamark and embossed with Gold embossing powder; the Very Vanilla layer was stamped with the greeting and we used the larger Star Framelit to cut the star shape--when this piece is layered over Cherry Cobbler, the star is prominent. Our gold-embossed star is added with Dimensionals,and we topped it off with Gold 1/8" ribbon and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (colored with Blendabilities).

Another Christmas Card, using non-Christmas colors:

The Lost Lagoon card base was embossed with the new Filigree Frame Textured Embossing Folder. A piece of All is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper is anchored in the center. Silver Glimmer Paper was cut using the Starburst Framelits, and a tag of Pear Pizzazz was cut using Chalk Talk Framelits. The tree baubles were first embossed with Silver Embossing Powder, and then over-stamped with Lost Lagoon ink and the Festival of Trees stamp set; this was punched with the matching Tree punch. Pretty!

And finally:

Tani contributed this cute card, featuring the Fun Fall Framelits dies, the Party Pennants Bigz die and some Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.

What a fun month of cards!

Another "Got Treats" Demonstration

Thanks for coming back for another round of my "Got Treats" packaging ideas. My original post (here) showed a number of options for presenting your little goblins with their Halloween goodies:

Today we'll be taking an in-depth look at the cute little box on the right.

Once again, Stampin' UP! comes through with quick and easy ways to deliver your special gifts. These Decorative Window Gift Boxes are a snap to put together and dress up.

I first stamped some little ghosts from the Project Life Holiday Cheer set in the corners and around the edges of the box.

Craft Whisper White Ink allows my ghost to be a subtle decoration and gave me the inspiration for my tag.

How cute is that little fella? Cut with the Fun Fall Framelits dies and Bermuda Bay cardstock, all he needed was a sentiment (from Holiday Home) and some googly eyes. All tied up with White and Tangerine Tango Two-Tone Trim, this delightful box is ready for some little hands to pull it apart!

So there are the first two of my goodie-packaging ideas; in case you missed the Chevron Bag, take a look here. And stop by tomorrow for a fun way to wrap up a pack of gum.

All items can be purchased here.

And let's get creating!
