A Treat That's More Than A Treat

What can you put in a cute little mini treat bag besides a treat?  You can put a darling little card in it!  I confess that I've had this thinlit set for several months and didn't get around to playing with it until a few weeks ago.  Oh well... better late than never.  I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to make it and I can't wait to try making some more, using other DSP designs.

Because it was my first time making the little treat bag and because I thought the DSP was so stinkin' cute, I didn't even do anything extra to the treat bag.  When I make future treat bags, I will try out various ways to decorate them.  I used the star from the thinlit set to cut a window in the note card (after stamping the adorable stamp on the front) and then placed DSP behind the window.

There are a million ways to use this set of thinlits AND the You're So Sweet stamp set.  I've just barely gotten started:)

Cherry on Top Cute Little 3 X 3" Cards

I love our new Cherry on Top DSP.  I decided to make some cute little cards with it... 10 in all.  By getting a package of Cherry on Top CS, I worked with these 3 wonderful colors:  Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, and Bermuda Bay. 

I used a couple of greetings from my new Tin of Cards stamp set and lined each envelope to coordinate with the cards.

What a fun project!

I love the cute little Blossom Accents for each of our new In Colors!  They attach easily with Liquid Tombow adhesive.

The cards are now all up on display in my studio.  When the previous catalog retired, I took down each and every sample I had on display.  I'm creating all new displays and it's fun to see the displays grow and start to look fresh and new.  The very last card on the lower right has banners instead of greetings.  I went to stamp the greeting and the puppies bumped me and I dropped the stamp.  Ugh!  I couldn't bear to throw the card away, so I covered the smudge with banners.

By the way, I made nearly 50 different kinds of butterflies yesterday, as I continued to work on various projects.  Come back soon as I continue to share more projects.  I'm having a ball!

5 Little Bow Punch Projects

I have a whole set of cute little cards to share with you today.  They're 3 X 3" sized, have coordinating envelopes with some new DSP and there's a card for each of our 5 new In Colors.    

With the new In Colors coming out, I decided it would be fun to create a card for each color.  I added to the fun by using a brand new embossing folder and new DSP from a wonderful little paper stack called Cherry on Top. 

I love our little Bow Builder Punch and have been wanting to work with it more lately.  I've spent a ton of time the past few weeks trying to catch up and finish my MDS albums and get them printed before it all retires.  It's good to get the feel of real CS and embossing folders and punches and all back into my hands.  I love to create.

The Bow Builder Punch is like a baby version of the Gift Bow Bigz L die for the Big Shot.  By having both on hand, I'm totally covered when it comes to adding a bow to a project.  They both work with DSP and/or CS.  Love that!

Something (one of many things, actually) I really like about our new catalog is that all the DSP packs (other than the Typeset) have a coordinating package of CS that works with all the colors in the papers.  Here's what I mean...

Cherry on Top DSP colors:
Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush
Hello Honey, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White
With the DSP stack, you get 48 sheets --- 4 each of 12 double-sided designs.
They are 6 X 6" size, so they can be very versatile for lots of cards or other projects. 

Colors for Cherry on Top CS Pack:
Cucumber Crush, Bermuda Bay, and Watermelon Wonder

With the CS Pack, you get 24 sheets --- 8 each of the 3 colors.  If you made only cards (full size --- 2 per sheet), you could make 48 cards and still have DSP left over!

So... If you buy the DSP and the CS pack, you can get to designing, cutting and creating and make a zillion cards or other projects.  Thank you, Stampin' Up!, for this great new way of organizing our projects!
