Enjoy Takeout

I just love the little Takeout boxes that can be created with the Takeout Thinlits dies and recently put together 50 of them to use as gifts for use at an upcoming retreat.  For the boxes, I used the Dashing Along designer series paper and some of the Joyous Noel glimmer paper.

The "enjoy" comes from the stamp set that coordinates and bundles with the Takeout thinlits called Takeout treats and I punched it out with the 1" circle punch.

Supplies:

Takeout Treats

Cherry Cobbler ink

Whisper White card stock

Dashing Along dsp

Joyous Noel Glimmer paper

1" circle punch

1 1/8" scallop circle punch

Cupcake Alphabet

 

Awhile back, I was on a roll using the Alphabet press folder and this is another creation that came out of it.  It is very simple, but cute, using the Sketched Birthday stamp set and Birthday Basics designer series paper.

 

I think this would be a fun card for just about anyone :) 

 

Supplies:

Sketched Birthday

Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate, Very Vanilla card stock

Birthday Basics designer series paper

Gumball Green ink

scallop circle punch

 Raspberry Ripple stitched satin ribbon

Alphabet press folder

Creative Happiness

This card uses some Orchard Harvest designer series paper, I must like that huh?  I have also used the Pursuit of Happiness and Creative Elements stamp sets and my ink colors are Wild Wasabi, Basic Black and Bravo Burgundy. 

 

 

Around the edge of the scallop circle, I use the paper piercing tool and a template.

 

Hope you enjoy the card!

 

 

Live in the Sunshine...

This is a hybrid project that I entered for the Artisan Award contest.   The base is a piece of board covered with fabric.  The center was printed with My Digital Studio and then stamped and the scallop circles are made from the wood sheets and then stamped.

The whole thing was covered with Vanilla Shimmer smooch spritz after I put it together.

This one would have been fun to have back but maybe it will make one of the displays at convention.

Scallop Circle

Our weekly challenge at Late Night Stampers this week is to make a card without using a square or rectangle.  For my first sample I chose the scallop circle shape.

I used the scallop circle die and the big shot to get my shape, if you fold over a piece of card stock and lay it onto the die so that the fold is slightly below the top edge of the cutting area, it will create a card for you.  There is a layer of dsp on top which is a sneak peek of the Sale-a-bration Everyday Enchantment designer series paper.

The stamp set is another sneak peek for you of an upcoming Sale-a-bration item called Fresh Vintage.

I added a sentiment from Bring on the Cake to the inside.

Bring on the Cake, Fresh Vintage

Very Vanilla, Peach Parfait, Lucky Limeade card stock

Felt ornaments

I made a bunch of these ornaments this year after Sarah and Charissa's retreat, they work great for adding to packages too. 

I used the Scallop Circle and Island Floral bigz Dies, felt, embroidery floss and some of our big Designer Series buttons. 

More mini notebooks

I always seem to come back to these when I need little items for gifts or vendor events, they are so fun to make and everyone needs note pads, right?

These were made with the top note and scallop circle dies, but I have also used the scallop square in the past.  The top note fits the best when you want to use the least amount of paper because you can fit 4 of them on one sheet of copy paper for the inside pages.
