Halloween Treats!

  Happy Halloween!!

Today's project is for my daughter's classmates.  I made 32 of these little candy wrapper boxes!  They are quick and easy to do with the Big Shot.  Each one has two bite size candies... More than enough for 3 year olds.  

I used 12x12 card stock and cut it into 4 - 6x6 pieces. Then I used Stampin'Up's candy wrapper die and ran it through the Big Shot.  You  can run 2 sheets at a time to save time.  Next, I adhered a little piece of DSP 2" by 5.5" down the middle.  Then I used sticky strip to put the boxes together.  I sealed the ends with 1/8" silver mini brads and my paper piercer.  I was going to leave them with that, but decided to add a little more embellishment, so I added ribbon and a stamped image from the hostess set Mixed Medley.  

Happy Halloween!! Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Cards -- Sign Up Today!!

Greetings!

This Saturday is my Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack!  Here are 3 of the 6 cards we'll be making!  I love them all and I'm excited to create them with my attendees!! There's still time to sign up!

  Every month, I get together with my demonstrator group to create, share ideas, and talk about everything Stampin'Up!  Every few months, we get together for a "shoebox swap."  Each person brings a card and the supplies for us to create our own.  At our last shoebox swap, we created about 16 different Christmas cards.  The cards we'll create at my Stamp-A-Stack are all CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) cards from the shoebox swap!! The monthly meetings are one very nice perk of being a demonstrator -- I get so many ideas and inspiration from the talented group of women!  Ask me for more information about being a demonstrator! 

More information about this class and others can be found here.
