Sweet as a Bug Hershey Kiss Treat Holder

I'm away at a Crop for this weekend in Stratford with 48 of my favourite scrappers. Most of the gang that attends does scrapbooking/memory keeping. I'm seated with my little band of merry card makers. This is one of the little gifties I made to share with my tablemates complete with a bag of Hershey kisses because who doesn't NEED chocolate when they craft? The box is simple: 6 x 6 inch square scored on all four sides at 1 inch. Then on one side score also at 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches. Fold up the bottoms and fold down the inside at the top. Like a said...super simple!

Exploring Nature Slim Line Card

Nothing like a slim line card to display coordinating patterned papers! This layout really uses up those scraps by displaying them beautifully. The greeting is from the Exploring Nature stamp set. That one comes with large greetings that are perfect for memory keeping and on large card fronts like this one. I think this would be an awesome card for someone striking out on their own, going on an adventure, leaving for College or University. Lots of possibilities. What do you think?

Everyday Arches with Framed All Around

Featuring my Team member Wendy's Creative Ambassador card CASEd from JilliBling. She started by choosing a patterned paper from Lovely and Beautiful and was inspired to use a coordinating card stock colour palette from there. For layers, Wendy used the Everyday Arches dies, embossing the outer arch. The floral image and sentiment are done in gold embossing powder and she coloured the flower with Stampin' Blends. These embellishments are retired but very much like the current Flower Accents. Beautiful card, Wendy!

Faux Tile featuring Paradise Garden

Tried the Faux Tile look for today's card by cutting my Basic White layer to 4 inches by 5 inches providing even 1 inch segments. Who says a card needs to be 4.25 inches by 5.5 inches? To achieve this look, I scored the white first at 1 inch on all sides. Next I stamped the image o the debossed side using this gorgeous Blueberry Bushel ink. The score lines creating the faux tile peek through. The flower, greeing and die are from the Paradise Garden bundle. Paired with Lemon Lime Twist cardstock it sure pops. Enjoy!

Welcome Baby Peek-a-Boo card with circles

Look at this adorable layout with a circle cut out of another for a peek-a-boo featre. Love it! Today's card was designed by my daughter, Michelle, with the Welcome Baby Stamp Set. This is a new idea to me and I'm going to be CASE-ing it for sure. The stamp set and rectangular Textured Notes Dies are on the Last Chance list to pop those into your cart before they're gone. Enjoy!
