My Timeless Templates - All Boxed Up

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! I have a My Timeless Templates project to share with you today. A while back, I purchased the All Boxed Up template from PAPERTREYink. Then, I saw THIS post of Lauren's and couldn't WAIT to try out her One Sheet Wonder. Her One Sheet Wonder allows you to make four different cards; two of each design. I knew exactly what piece of patterned paper I wanted to use too. The patterned paper is called Ava-Aqua Floral and is from the Making Memories Noteworthy Collection. Isn't it pretty? And, it matches the Blush Red Dark & Baby Pink Medium Prism cardstock perfectly. The dark red satin ribbon is from Taylored Expressions and the Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon is from Stampin' UP!. I used the "L" from my JustRite Curlz Kit and stamped it in Close to Cocoa and Ruby Red ink. Now for the pics:

There are also eight matching envelopes in the set. I stamped all of the envelope flaps with an "L" using Ruby Red ink.

Thanks for stopping and I hope you all have a WONDERFUL day!

Many Thanks Set

One of the "To Do" items on my list this week was to make a set of six thank you cards as a Christmas gift for one of my Daughter's teachers. With so much that still needs to be done for Christmas, I wanted (I NEEDED) the cards to be very quick and easy. Recently, I purchased Taylor's newest Taylored Kit and really liked the simple layout she used for the cards, so I decided to use the same layout. I found this patterned paper in my stash and thought is was just PERFECT. The paper is called "A Is For Apple" and it's from the Scribble Scrabble Autumn Afternoon Collection. I used Bazzill Old Flame and Bazzill Hillary cardstock to match and stamped the sentiment on SU! Naturals Ivory cardstock in Bravo Burgundy ink. The stamp is from the SU! Lots of Thoughts set. I got the idea to use just the "Many Thanks" part from hudsonhannah on SCS and you can view her cards that inspired me here. I used Bravo Burgundy ink to stamp the sentiment and the polka dot ribbon is from Taylored Expressions. I also stamped matching envelopes using the Teacher's Apple set from PAPERTREYink. The apple is stamped in Bravo Burgundy, the stem in Close to Cocoa, and the leaf in Old Olive. I actually made three different cards with different ribbon (two of each), but I'm just showing you one of them here. I packaged the cards and envelopes in a Clearly Creative Card Box from PAPERTREYink and tied the same ribbon around the box. Thanks for stopping by. I hope everyone is having a GREAT day!!!

M&M's Treat Bags

Good Morning!!! My youngest Daughter goes to story time at the library every Monday morning, so I made 15 of these little treat bags for her to take with her this week. I was inspired by these treat bags of Taylor's. I used Bazzill Carrot Cake cardstock for the bag toppers and Bazzill Sweet Lacy, Bazzill Blackbird, and Bazzill Parakeet for the scallop punches (I made 5 of each color). The pumpkins were stamped in Palette Noir ink and colored in with Prismacolor Pencils. The bats and Trick-or-Treat sentiment were also stamped in Palette Noir ink and I used my round corner punch for the bottom of the bag toppers. The bags are the small glassine bags from PAPERTREYink. That's it; super easy. It only took me about 45 minutes to make all 15 bags and my Daughter loved them. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!!!

WCMDSC08 - Full Fluffles

Good Morning! I hope all of you had a chance to do a little stamping on Saturday for World Card Making Day. I decided to participate in some of the challenges over at SCS. I made this card for their first challenge (a sketch challenge) which you can view here. But before I go on, I just have to tell you that this card (and others that I have posted recently) really do look better IRL. I am having issues with my digital camera. The main issue being that I would like to take it out in the middle of a field and smash it with a baseball bat like they did with the fax machine in the movie Office Space....LOL!!! Any who, I used the Full Fluffles stamp by Stampendous for this card and colored it in with Primacolor Pencils. I added some white Liquid Applique to the cake and some StarDust Stickles to the balloon and cake plate. The cardstock colors are Real Red and Lovely Lilac and the patterned paper is from the Rubber Soul Hoop-La Collection. Thanks for stopping by today. Hope everyone has a great Monday... :)
