More Treats!

How about some more treats today?  These are mostly zero calorie, too!  I have cider mixes, coffee mixes and Halloween pencils --- treats for all ages.  These were all made with the Petite Pocket die and Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP. 




The fun thing about making these is that you can embellish them however you would like... and for any holiday or special occasion.  I even added my ghoulish mummy to one of them.

The owl peeking out is one I made with the Top Note die.  It is a topper to a cello treat bag of candy corn. 
Come back soon and I'll share how I made this cute little packet.  It's so fun and easy!

Also coming soon... sneak peeks for upcoming Holiday classes!

Treats!

How about some treats to start off your busy day?  Here are some ideas for treats --- all with our gorgeous cherry cobbler!  




Whether a bag, a box or a jar, there's no better way to make someone's day than to share a treat with them --- especially when it's hand made.

Be creative in what you put into your treat container, too.  Here, I've used chocolate, peppermint kisses and tags.  So, it doesn't always have to be food or candy.

For more ideas, check out these Fancy Favor Boxes for gift containers.  You can also go to the search box and type in gifts, gift boxes, gift card holders, etc., to find lots more ideas here on my blog.

Come back soon for even more gift giving ideas.  Have a great day and a great week.

Sharing Chattanooga, Part 4

Here we go with my 4th and final part of sharing from the Stampin' Up! Regionals in Chattanooga.

These are more of the card ideas shown during presentations, for clean, quick, simple and fun cards.  These 4 would make a nice note card set for a gift.  We even learned how to make a really pretty vellum envelope that would hold them all.
Here's a slightly stepped up version, using layered pieces (stamped and punched) and a special background (spritzing with doilies as a mask).

This is a quick and simple card that's a little on the wild side.  Streak a layer of VersaMark ink across your card (You must use the Embossing Buddy first!!!) and sprinkle on some EP.  Repeat a second 'streak' of VersaMark and add a different color of EP.  Repeat once more, with a 3rd color of EP.  Heat and emboss all three colors at the same time.  Add a greeting over the top.
Note:
This is a messy process and one that is better to do at home, on an individual basis, so you may not see it in one of my classes.  It is super fun though, so I still wanted to share it with you.
...QUICK AND EASY NOTE CARDS...
...AN MDS PROJECT...  FRAMEABLE ART...
...2 VERSIONS OF CARDS WITH FRAMELITS AND DSP...

Well... that's it for the Regionals.  I hope you learned something that you'll try at home during your creative time.  Have a great day!
