Good Cheer Paper Bag Gift Keeper

I'd say that this paper lunch bag never looked so good! I love the 'rustic' colors in the 'Deck the Halls' designer series paper and have used them in the color scheme of this easy 'paper bag' gift bag. I have included a short photo step-by-step of how this bag was made (click images for larger view): Cut the paper down to 5 3/4 inches high.  Line the back of the paper bag with ... View Post

Day of Gratitude Thanksgiving Card

This lovely and simple Thanksgiving card is made from one of the many 'Day of Gratitude' stamp sets that have fallen in my lap this month. Not only is this a 'must have' limited edition set from the Holiday Mini Catalog, but I've been to two Stampin' Up!

Simple Birthday Gift Card Holder

This gift card holder is so easy to make and so much fun to look at--it almost makes me hungry! The 'card' part of it is actually only 5x7 to allow the giant cupcake to peek over the edge.  I used the 'Perfect Polka Dots' embossing folder on the Real Red background. I stamped the giant cupcake stamp twice, once on Regal Rose and once on Chocolate Chip, and cut the top out of one--and the ... View Post
