Here is the other side where we stamped a sentiment from the Seasonal Sentiments stamp set. I also put together a quick video tutorial to help you create your own flip flip card.

Top Note Gift Card Wallet


We made these beautiful Top Note Gift Card Wallets at our demonstrator meeting last month. Donna shared this project with us from UStamp. We cut out a lot of flowers, but it was worth all the cutting.
Here is the inside with the card to put in one pocket and then a pocket for a gift card on the other side. Forget the gift card, I love this wallet without anything in it!

Recipe:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Flower Fancy
Cardstock: Kraft, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist
Ink: Certainly Celery, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist

Happy Birthday Cards


I took a little break from Halloween projects to make these birthday cards. For the first card I used the Style Beautiful stamp set. I stamped the same image twice in baja breeze and then punched it out with the decorative label punch and sponged the edges and used dimensionals to make the sentiment stand out. I crinkled up a dotted scallop ribbon border and added it down the side and well as some 1/4" circles to mimic brads.

For the second birthday card I used the finial press and perfect polka dots embossing folders with pretty in pink paper and layered them on certainly celery. I added a scallop flower created with two large scallop punches folded and placed together and added a brad to the middle. I used one of my favorite stamp sets, Perfect Punches because it is so easy to punch out the sentiment!! I layered it on some certainly celery cut out with the lots of tags sizzix die.

Halloween Tag Treat Box


I saw these cute Two Tag Treat Boxes on Joanna's blog and decided to make a Halloween Tag Treat Box. To make the boxes, I used Stampin' Up!'s Two Tags Sizzix die and cut out two of the rounded tags to create the front and back of the box. Then I used a 3" x 6-3/4" piece of old olive cardstock scored at 2" from each edge lengthwise and 1/2" from each edge widthwise. I used sticky strip to adhere the sides and bottom of the box to the tags and added a 1/2" x 8-1/2" handle secured with some brads.

I added some embellishments to the front and back of the treat box using the Wicked Cool stamp set. On the front I created a layer for the label punch by punching out two more pieces and cutting the middles out of them and then layering them behind the top layer.



For the back, I used whisper white craft ink for the spider web and added the sentiment with dimensionals on top.

More Wicked Cool

Here is another fun card made with the Wicked Cool stamp set inspired by Lynn's card. I tried sponging the spiderweb with black ink this time for a different effect. I hope you're enjoying the Halloween projects because I have more to show you!
