Thankful For All Things

It certainly feels like fall here in SW Missouri this morning. Makes me look forward to taking a walk on the trail while my feet swish through the leaves. Fall is absolutely my favorite season. 



All products are Stampin' Up! I just love the way the gold sequins sparkle on this card. 



Don't forget the inside, this makes your handmade card very special.

Noel & Silver Trees

The weather this past weekend has me thinking of the holidays. This card combines the Stampin' Up! Festival of Trees stamp set and one of the word dies from Wonderful Wreath Framelits. Both of those items can be found right here in the new Holiday Catalog.  I assure you this project is white, but I had such a time with these photos. My apologies...




I stamped the tree using Silver Encore ink on a base layer of Whisper White card stock. I did not emboss the trees, just let them sit for a few minutes to dry. 


I cut 3 layers of the word Noel from Whisper White cardstock. For one of the layers, I tapped Versamark on it and embossed it with the Silver Stampin' Emboss powder.   I layered them a bit off, so the middle silver layer would show. I used a toothpick to apply a tiny bit of Tombow glue to adhere them together and glue to front of card. Used the same glue to adhere the silver sequins. 

 Supply list: 

I hope you are finding time to create and enjoy our fall type weather!  If you want to get a jump start on your holiday gifts & cards, let me know if I can help. My store link is at the top of the page. Be sure to check out the new Holiday Catalog. All of you Pinterest Junkies & DIY's will love the possibilities!

Bright & Beautiful Vellum Gift Box

 As it turns out, I'm completely enamored with small boxes. Particularly the "no stick box" that UK Stampin' Up! demonstrator Sam Donald has a tutorial for over on her blog. I sized it up a bit and my measurements and instructions for scoring are here. All products used for this project are Stampin' Up! 



I made the box using the Gold Fancy Designer Vellum Foil. I made a "belly band" using the Gold 5/8 inch Satin Ribbon. The  star embellishment is made using the new stamp set Bright & Beautiful and the Star Framelits Die. The stars and linen thread is attached to the ribbon, so it will slip off of the box easily. Isn't this yummy?? 


I used Fringe Scissors to shred white tissue paper to stuff the box with. I did use one tiny glue dot near the opening of one end of the box to hold it all together and make it easier to stuff with tissue paper. 


Just wrap your tiny trinket in a bit of white tissue paper, put more of the shredded paper around it and you have a very elegant presentation for gift giving. Products used for this project are as follows:
