I love finding new gift boxes and fancy card folds, and this one is called the Hershey Kiss Gift Card Holder - you can find lots of video tutorials if you search YouTube for them.   For this particular one, I followed Joyce's blog post here - she lists out the dimensions for cardstock/papers and offers a video as well.  I did switch out the image for my own drawing/digi of "Flamingo Christmas" and I used 6 Hershey Nuggets because I didn't have any kisses available at the time I created this one... so I put 2 flat backs together and got 6 nuggets in.    See pic below for my updated box after I purchased the kisses.  The papers are called " Let it Snow " from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalog, 2019. Thanks so all the crafty peeps who come up with these FUN projects to share with the rest of us.  Pop over to my store for lots more Christmas digis and papers you can use to create your own Christmas projects and cards!   Enterin

Hello and happy Sunday!  Christmas is only 9 weeks away!!  This month's Paper Pumpkin kit contains 10 beautiful cards to help us get ready for the holidays.   The card on the left is made exactly as per the kit instructions.  The white trees and snowy base are slightly sparkly and are die-cut and pop-dotted so they really stand out.  The card on the right is my alternative card made with the bird, snow and sentiment stamps from this month's PP kit, along with the new moose punch, all-around wreath dies, and buffalo check bg stamp, all from Stampin' Up!  I was inspired by a card on Pinterest by Rutabagapiedesigns Next month's Paper Pumpkin kit is 24 Christmas tags that will coordinate with this month's cards and will include some exclusive product as well.  If you'd like to order PP or any other SU! products, please send me an email and I'm happy to place an order for you!   You can view the catalogs online at stampinup.com  Have a

Hi - I tried another "new to me" fancy fold technique called a WIPER CARD!  And are these ever cute!  When you pull the sides of the card out, a "wiper" pops up revealing a sentiment!  In this case, I stamped my sentiment onto a cloud (cut with a die) and added a li'l red heart.  For this card I used my own digi set called " Love Lifts You " and the sentiments on banner and clouds are from a "Inspired Stamps" which I believe has sadly closed. Thank You for taking a look!  I hope to see you again soon - Happy INKing :)

Today's share is a card I CASE'd from an SU demonstrator, Kathie Zaban using this month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  The stamp included in this set is a beautiful 'Distinktive' stamp which is "photo-realistic"... a patent-pending process that's new to Stampin' Up, and I just LOVE it!  The kit included a Grey Granite Stampin' Spot which I used to stamp all the roses and leaves onto Whisper White cardstock.  Then I used my Copics to color it in although this was an issue of its own as the colors I wanted to use I was out of (markers ran dry and have no refills yet for them).  So they turned out darker than I wanted, but still pretty.  For the roses I used R22, R35, and R59; the leaves I used Y11 and YG25; Y11 for the centers of roses, and the blue bg is B05.  I then used a black permanent marker for the dots.  Oh, I did use a dark warm grey to outline around the images, can't recall which color that was.  The label, sentiment and twine were al

Happy Sunday everyone!
