Monthly Class Treats

Some sweet and oh-so-incredibly-simple treat holders for my August Breslau class attendees. Ready for these quick instructions? Take a piece of 6” x 6” patterned paper. Score on one side at 2 7/8” and 3 1/8”. Turn 90 degrees and cut into three 2” wide pieces. Place some tear and tape along the inside to hold your candy in place (in this case I used peppermint patties) and fold up. To keep them closed, I used the Hole Punch Assortment through both the front and back at the same time then ran some ribbon through tying it together with baker’s twine. Added one of my fave punches of all time – the medium Daisy – and some leaves with an embellishment in the centre. They loved them!

Party Banner Dies card base

Let me introduce you to the Party Banner Dies. This set is a hidden gem with 20 nesting dies. At first blush, you think, hmm….will I be making a banner? No, I’m a card maker…so why not use them to make a card base as on today’s project?   What?  Then layer them with the smaller nesting dies. Tip: Cut your card base to the usual 4 ¼” x 11” score in the middle and fold in half. Cut with the extending above the top fold. And yeah – you have a cool banner cut card front. Also on this card, I used one of the smallest Every Day Arches dies as a label. Fits the greeting to a T. Enjoy!

Sanding Two-Tone Cardstock

In this month’s team tutorial, I shared a variety of ways to use our two-tone cardstock. To achieve this look with an embossing folder on several colours, I glued 1” x 3 ¾” strips of coordinating two-tone colours onto a matte of Granny Apple Green measuring 3 7/8” x 4 1/8”. Then it all went through the Stone & Vine embossing together currently on Last Chance so get it before it’s gone. Distressed it a bit to show off the white core and added it to a card base with a greeting and embellishments. Simple yet effective. Have you tried our two-tone cardstock yet? Tip: but in a multi-pack of colours.

Balloon Festoon meets Moonlit Flora

Busy card? Yes, maybe a bit….but I was trying a couple of fun techniques. For one of the balloons, I embossed onto two-tone Peaceful Pine cardstock then distressed with a sanding block (new ones available September 1). On the leaf image I used a blending brush to add Peaceful Pine ink over the black and white paper. Had this bit of Moonlit Flora patterned paper left over for the balloon and strip along the left side. The greeting is from Words & Wishes. Enjoy!
