This Owl Goodie Bag was made using the Top Note Die a small Cellophane Bag and a few Circle Punches. The beak is just one of the petals cut from the 5-Petal Flower Punch...very simple! I made a bunch of these last year for a holiday mart and they were very popular :)

The Spice Cake Designer Series Paper is so pretty! We used these beautiful designer patterns along with the Triple Treat Flower stamp to make this Thanksgiving card at Stamp Club last night. The "Happy Thanksgiving" sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set. There are 24 different sentiments to choose from in this set, so my club girls got to choose one for their cards. I think the colored rhinestone adds a beautiful touch! You can see how I made this card and learn how to color the Basic Rhinestones in my video below.

I don't think I've shared this little pig from the Button Buddies stamp set yet. He's very cute! The wording is from the Perfect Words hostess set. This is a 3x3" card.
Sorry for the quick post...it's been a busy day, and I have to run again. Have a great weekend!

This Thanksgiving card is the first chance I've had to use the Spice Cake Designer Paper, and I really like it! The colors and patterns are perfect for Fall, and the Triple Treat Flower stamp coordinates perfectly with it. It's one of the À la Carte stamps...just $8.95. This stamp coordinates with the Fancy Flower, 5-Petal Flower and 1/2" Circle Punches, all were used here.
Check out all the Spice Cake patterns in the Holiday Mini Catalog on page 17.

Here's a quick, little thank you card for Fall. I used the Falling Leaves Stamp Set with Cajun Craze, Old Olive and More Mustard. This is the size of our note cards, 5 x 3 1/2".

Such a beautiful flower...LOVE the color! This idea was inspired by my son's girlfriend, who loves vintage style. I made this card for her 21st birthday...the sentiment was stamped on the inside. I hope she liked it :)
To make the flower, I die cut Concord Crush and Wisteria Wonder Card Stock with the Fun Flowers die. After die cutting, I sponged the edges of the petals with Concord Crush ink. Then I ran the flowers through the the crimper a couple times in opposite directions, then crumpled them in my hand and peeled the layers of card stock apart to get a thin layer, then I crumpled it again. All this distressing gives it a vintage look. I used the 5-Petal Flower Punch for the center and layered all the petals before securing with an Antique Brad. And yes, then I crumpled it again :) Added a little shimmer by spritzing with diluted Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.
The Timeless Portrait Designer Paper is the perfect frame to really set off the flower. The finished size is 4 1/2" square. Email me if you have questions.

Today's cool weather has me thinking Fall, so I decided to break out my new Warmest Wishes stamp set. It's the hostess set in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I confess I've been fighting an awful head cold this week and it has drained all my energy...and creativity...so I copied the sample on page 5. I did at least change the colors :)
For the wreath, I inked the stamp with the More Mustard Ink Pad first and then used markers to color a few of the leaves. The 1 1/4" Circle Punch was used to punch out the center of the wreath and the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch fits perfectly around the outside edge of the image. I popped it up with dimensionals and added the little bow with a glue dot.
This discounted stamp set can only be purchased with free hostess dollars. A minimum order of $150 qualifies you for hostess benefits. And trust me...there's easily $150 in "gotta-have-it" holiday items in the new mini :) Click to shop the Holiday Mini Catalog now.
Happy Friday :)

Today's thank you card was stamped with one of 8 cute images from the Easy Events Stamp Set. I used the new In Color Pear Pizzazz Designer Paper and So Saffron Taffeta Ribbon. The flowers were colored with Bashful Blue, Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz & So Saffron markers. I used a blender pen with the Rose Red ink to give it a softer color.
This is the Free card I'll be sending everyone who places an online order with me during September. Shop online here.
