Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Another favorite thing of mine from the Holiday Catalog is the Festival of Trees Bundle. I had a class last month and we made two Gift Card Enclosures using this bundle and two Christmas Cards. I'll post the card over the next two blog post.

I stamped the trees in versa mark and then embossed with clear embossing powder, I also created the same enclosure but embossed with white embossing powder. The belly band was created using the All is Calm DSP paper. I also embossed a few trees on the inside and added a few more snowflakes.

I am in love with the new Gift Card Enclosures. They are so quick and easy to decorate and fit any occasion, weddings, birthday, anniversary graduations, etc. This one I created for Christmas but you could easy change the inside greeting to fit your special occasion.

I used the Star Mask and daubed Real Red ink on the out side of the Enclosure, so fast and very cute don't you think.

The inside is just as easy to decorate and I love the little slits that are already cut just waiting for your gift card. Really it doesn't get much easier then this.

Freaky Friends

This set "Freaky Friends" remind me of Monsters Inc., I love that movie! I use to watch it a lot with my 2 year old granddaughter; cuddle time. She is now 7 and still loves to cuddle her with Grandma. :o))

I made my own little banners for this card, I wanted a different size then the Banner Framelits make. Check out the inside of the card.

I need to design a second card using this idea. I won this set at the Annual Catalog Premier in Orlando. This is the first time I used it, I just couldn't figure out what to do with.

Gift Box Punch Board

Oh my goodness, I love this punch board!

The first thing I did when I received my Gift Box Punch Board was to make every box sizes out of all the different papers that Stampin' Up! offers. 

DSP

Heavy Kraft Paper

Vellum

Card Stock

Window Sheets

Foil Paper

This weekend I work on a few new projects. It feels like forever since I really spent the whole weekend playing with paper and it really has refreshed my spirit.

With Halloween right around the corner I decided to play with the Gift Box Punch Board and the new holiday bundle "Fall Fest" & "Fun Fall Framelits Dies. 

If you bundle and use the item #137628 you'll save 15%. Why wouldn't you want those wonderful framelits to cut out all the cute stamps, no fussy cutting: love framelits! I made this cute little Halloween Box, the pumpkin faces make me smile and I wish for cooler weather here in Florida.

I made a 2.5" x 2.5" x 4" box using the Box Punch Board which made this quick and easy. I only used the corner rounder on two of the opposite top tabs and then punched a 1/4" whole in the other two tabs to run the ribbon through. 

I decorated the box using the Fringe Scissors to make the grass and then the Fall Fest stamp set and Fun Fall Framelits to cut all the pumpkins and leaves; so quick and easy. The tag was made with the new "Note Tag Punch" which is also offered in a bundle on page 13 of your Holiday Catalog. The sentiment comes for the new set called "And Many More" page 20 of the Annual Catalog. Take a good look at this set, it has a sentiment for everything, a must have on my list.

"Autumn Wooden Elements" are great little embellishments perfect for all your fall cards and gifts.

I decorated all 4 sides of the box. Use the Fall Bundle for your Thanksgiving items, just leave the face off the pumpkins.

Here are the items that I used to create this fun little box.

AUTUMN WOODEN ELEMENTS Price: $4.95

FALL FEST PHOTOPOLYMER BUNDLE Price: $34.75 GIFT BOX PUNCH BOARD Price: $19.95 NOTE TAG PUNCH Price: $16.95 FRINGE SCISSORS Price: $9.95 LINEN THREAD Price: $4.50 HELLO HONEY 3/8" SATIN STITCHED RIBBON Price: $8.95 AND MANY MORE CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET Price: $26.95
