Halloween Pillow Box Treat Holders

Halloween Pillow Box Treat Holders are today's AWESOME craft!
     I did something fairly simple today as I had lots of other things happening today too! I hadn't gotten to my card room in weeks and it was KILLING me! I had to get in here and do something...
     I am very excited today in the midst of my craziness, I met with a new customer and got a beginner order ready for her. I am hoping to get a workshop going for her in September to hopefully got her the Big Shot for FREE... I'm hoping! I am always so excited when I get to share my passion for Stampin' Up! with someone new 😃
     But... before she came, I was working on these really cute (...and sooo easy) pillow boxes for Halloween. I know... it is still a little ways away but wanting to do so many things with all the amazing things in the new Holiday Catalog, I wanted to get an early start.
     I am a pretty big fan of Christmas as my Daughter was born on Boxing Day... missing Christmas by only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Christmas Day 1999 was a very long day that year, but I got the best gift ever!! Christmas is pretty special to me... for many reasons 😊 That said... My Daughter's favorite time of year is Halloween... go figure! 😂  With all the beautiful Christmas bundles this year, I wanted to do something for Halloween before I get in the grove for Christmas.
     These are extremely simple! They are colored cheater style... Cut out of the Toil & Trouble DSP. One of the girls can be cut out with the die that comes in the bundle, the rest of them, I did fussy cut. The Cauldron and the cat can also be cut with dies from the bundle. Like I said, I wanted to do something that showed how easy it can be to make something so cute! The Spider Web is also a die in the bundle... Bundles are so worth it!
The pillow boxes come in a pack of 10 and are in the annual catalog so it really doesn't take much at all to whip up a bunch of these! I can see me cutting all the little girls out so I have them ready the next time I want to do something with them, the cauldrons and the kitties too for that matter. I will have multiple packages of the DSP by the end of the catalog 😉
     I am really finding that I love the Stitched All Around bundle too as I love that piece in the background. I have used it a few times now and it has become my go to for that "it just needs something" piece. It's funny how something you really had no urge to get that at all till I seen a few things on Pinterest using it.
Well... I hope you like what you see and can find time to craft up something on your own or using my design! I am a CASEr so am always posting to give someone else the same inspiration I got 😊


I am adding the Stitched All Around bundle to my product list as it is a much better value but I didn't use any of the stamps for this project... Very little stamping with this project actually, but still so cute!

Christmas (Domino) Ornaments

Decorate with these simple Domino Ornaments! They are very easy! All you need is a set of dominos, Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406), Sharpie markers, some Crystal Effects (#101055) & stamps that will fit on the domino! Some of the images are not Stampin' Up! but most of them are. The sets from Stampin' Up! are Best of Snow & Polar Party so far. I also used some Stickles for the snow and glitter on some images.  

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

     Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead.  It was a great idea, it was a hit!      Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families.  She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good!  I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think?      I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
