Hello Crafty Friends!! 

We're sharing Holiday Inspiration Projects for 25 days over at Paper Sweeties from December 1st through the 25th!!  Click HERE to check out what the talented Design Teamies have created to help spark your creativity!!

Today I've created a BEAUTIFUL CAS Holiday Card!! Easy to create for any last minute Cards you might need to make, and packs a PUNCH with the White Embossed Card Panel!! It's hard to get the FULL affect in the Photos but in real life it REALLY adds alot of Texture to the otherwise Simple Card Design!! Let's get Started!! 

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the front of my Card Panel with words "Merry, Joy & Noel" from the Merry Stamp Set!! I Stamped with WoW Clear Embossing Ink using my MISTI Stamping Tool in order to just move my Card Panel up and down until the entire Panel was Inked then I used WoW Embossing Powder in Bright White and Heat Set the Panel!! Its hard to see in the Photos, but in real life it adds such an Elegant Feel to the Card!! Then I Die Cutting the Tree from the Stitched Tags #2 Die Set from the Embossed Card Panel!! I wanted to inlay the Die Cut Tree with some Plaid Patterned Paper, as I LOVE the Stitched Detailing around the edges of the Tree!! I used the NEW Photoplay 6x6 Tulla & Norbert's Christmas Party Paper Pad!! I Die Cut the Bow from the set from some Taylored Expressions Gold Glitter Felt and added a Mini Metallic Red Jingle Bell to the center of the Bow for a POP of Color using some Zots Bling Mini Glue Dots!! I LOVE them for attaching Small Elements to my Cards and I KNOW they won't go anywhere during the Shipping Process!! 

Here's another Close up look at the Card!! I just LOVE the CAS Design and I hope I've INSPIRED you today!! Make sure to join me again on Dec. 10th for another Holiday Project!!

Paper Sweeties New Release Party!!

Pin It

HELLO!!

I'm here with Paper Sweeties to share a SWEET Valentine's Treat Box!! This month the Release is just AMAZING!! I unfortunately Broke my Arm in November and had to have Surgery at the beginning of December!! Then I was in a Cast until the beginning of this Month!! Needless to say, I didn't think I'd be able to create, so I didn't have the NEW Release to play with when I realized I was able to create after all!! So my projects this Month will be using some of my FAVORITE Older Products that are PERFECT for those SPECIAL Valentine's Day Gifts, or switch out the sentiment and they'd be GREAT for Birthday's or Anniversaries too!! 

Here's my Project for today!!

I've used the Treat Box Die to create this FUN Box!! 

Here's a look at this Set!! 

This set is such a GREAT Value for all that you get in it!! Plus SO MANY occasions can be created, and you can use all of the Dies for other Projects too!! For the CUTE Tag I used the Stitched Tags #1 Die Set and the Girl Image is from the Planner Series: Checklist Stamp Set!! I paired it with the Coffee Cup Image from the You Warm My Heart Stamp Set and the Coordinating You Warm My Heart Die Set!! Colored the Images in with Copic Markers and added some Shimmer Pen for some Sparkle!! A layered Bow finished off the SWEET Treat Box that could be used for ANY Occasion!! 

I LOVE the way it turned out and Hope I've given you some Ideas on ways to use this SWEET Treat Box Set for some of those Gifts you may need to give!!
