Gold Mini Pizza box project

This is one of the projects they made at my Fall Creative Escape Retreat a few weeks ago. 

It's our Mini Gold Pizza Box decorated with the Perfectly Plaid bundle. 

I cased the project on page 12 of the Holiday Catalog. You can find these pizza boxes on page 13.

I chose to use Cherry Cobbler and Call Me Clover with White. These boxes are 3 1/2" X 3 1/2" and hold quite a bit of candy, 3 X 3" cards, tags or lots of other things. 

You get 8 of these in a package for $7.  And they're food safe and can hold a 3" cookie! 

I used the Perfectly Plaid bundle here.  It includes the stamp set and the Pine Tree punch.  It's 10% off when you purchase it as a bundle.  See it here. 

I used this bundle on my October card kit.  The stamps and greetings are fabulous; I find I'm using them a lot this year.

You can see the Wrapped in Plaid specialty designer paper on the cards below. The plaid and other patterns in the designer paper are wonderful and quite versatile.  The're perfect on masculine cards too! 

You can get the details on this cards kit to go here.  But don't wait!  Order it by Saturday, October 19th. 

Let it Snow Embellishment kit; perfect Snowman parts!

The Let is Snow Embellishment kit was out of stock for quite awhile and unorderable.  But it's back and available!  

My friend Susie Wood sent me this cute card that she embellished with the kit's pieces.  

This kit comes in a cute box that fits our A2 size cards too!  It includes stitched felt accent pieces that are adorable! Stamp a snowman, then dress it up with the accents in the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit. Or use the pieces to make your own snowy creations. It contains the following:

• 60 stitched felt accents
• 96 enamel shapes 
• 36 felt snowballs
• 1/4" glitter washi tape

See it here in my store.

I added the cute enamel shapes to my Mini Curvy Keepsake box below:

Tidings All Around for Fall

I made this pretty fall themed card for a recent Facebook Live showcasing the Tidings All Around and Gathered Leaves dies.  See the video herel

The colors here are Terracotta Tile, Old Olive, Cajun Craze and my recent favorite color Pretty Peacock.  I am loving this color for Fall projects lately. 

Do you see how the inside of the leaves are a darker hue of color?  Well that's done by pressing the actual die itself onto the ink pad 'before' you run it through your die-cutting machine.  Easy and very cool!

Wrapped in Plaid for the October Kit to Go

Some of us love plaids and the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Paper is awesome.  You know how there is usually one or two patterns in a pack of paper that you don't like?  Well there's none of them in this pack!  Seriously; they're all awesome and it also has wonderful patterns besides the plaids. Even though one side of each paper has Gold Foil accents it's not just for Christmas!  

We featured it at our Fall Creative Escape Retreat last month and everyone LOVED their projects.  So I decided to feature it for my October Class Kit to Go projects.  

Here's a peek at most of the cards in this month's kit.  They're bold, colorful and awesome!

You'll receive a 10 cards pre-cut kit that includes die-cuts and textured pieces. 

The kit includes approximately $20 in Holiday catalog product (before tax & shipping) including the following:

• a pre-cut kit for 10 cards including all pre-cut, punched circles and die-cut pieces
• 1/2 package of the 6 X 6" Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper
• 1/2 spool of the 3/8" Shaded Spruce/Gold ribbon
• Two 6 X 6" sheets of Gold Foil paper
• a full package of Holiday Rhinestones
• A complete written pdf tutorial with photos, directions, measurements and supplies list (sent via email)
• It does not include stamped images punched trees.
• It also includes a bonus tutorial for the Gold Mini Pizza box project! 

I used the Perfectly Plaid bundle for most of the stamping on these cards.  

You will need a tree punch or a die to finish your cards like mine.  If you'd like to add on this bundle for an additional 10% off let me know.  I'll send you a PayPal invoice for it. 

You can get this kit mailed to you by subscribing to my monthly card kits or message me and I'll send you a PayPal invoice.  You can cancel or suspend your kits at any time.
