Hello Stampers! Just had a fun Stampin' Up! bingo night at my house where the prizes were items from the new Holiday Catalog. I always like to greet each participant with a welcome gift treat packet. This one was so easy to to put together, and I think it really has the cute factor. And, of course, chocolate. I started with Crumb Cake card stock and punched the end with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch (which, by the way, is featured on the Weekly Deals and can be purchased for $17.25). I trimmed the bottom corners with the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch. I used the You're So Sweet Stamp set and with the Stampin' Write Markers (Real Red and...

Hello Stampers! I hope you aren't tiring of all of these cute bags! I just love them! I think I've mentioned this before, but they are so reasonably priced and you can dress them up in so many ways. You get ten Kraft Tag a  Bag Gift Bags for $3.50. I embossed this one with the Fluttering Embossing Folder before decorating it. Again, I love the Tea Lace Paper Doilies and I added a silver metallic doily as well. I created this bag as a treat for those who attended my Butterfly Frenzy class a few weeks ago. You'll notice the butterfly -- stamped with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant and cropped with the Bold Butterfly Framelits. It's...

Hello Stampers! Just a few days ago it was National Dog Day. Even though we no longer have a dog (our special basset hound Max died about six years ago), I love to make doggie cards. I spotted this card on the video Tami White produced showing her swap cards from the recent Stampin' Up! convention. I just love how the dog's face is peeking out all of the windows. I'm sorry I don't know which stamper created this card, but here's a link to Tami's post where she shared a version of this card. The featured stamp set is Hot Diggity Dog. Cute, cute, cute! With a 1 3/8-inch circle punch, I punched holes in the Pumpkin Pie sheet from the Brights...
