When I first saw the popcorn box I put it on my wishlist, but after seeing this Stampin’ Up! video, I was sold and ordered it immediately! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc0IY2IEXpM&w=560&h=315] The popcorn box is really cute and the perfect size at 3-1/2″ tall to add cello bags filled with treats or surprises.

Annual Catalog
Trick or Treat, shadowy trees..oh my…SGGWWC card
This past weekend’s SGGW-WC template just had to be a Halloween card for me. I used last year’s Happy Haunting DSP (I love that one!) to create the base of my card, Then using the new Halloween Scenes edgelit dies (available September 1 in the new Holiday catalog) for the tree. I used the matching […]

FMS251 – Badges and Banners, a great stamp set

But when I flipped the paper, the other side was perfect. But I couldn’t let that beautiful yellow petals side go to waste. Since […]
Swirly Scribbles fall card just for you
Yesterday’s card (see here) was a bright birthday card using the SGGW-WC 8-19-16 template. And I promised to share another card using this template. I wanted to do a fall card before I jumped into my Halloween ideas and this template seemed like the perfect one to do just that. I have lots of retired DSP […]
Marquee Messages for your birthday
I was up bright and early last Friday morning which is very unusual for me on my days off! But I spent Thursday dealing with possible medical issues with my dad and I was ready for Connie Stewart’s SGGW weekend template challenge as a diversion of creativity. This past weekend’s template was a little more challenging […]
Another simple card makes a big statement
After finishing all my gift box ideas, I’ve been playing with my new BigShot dies from Stampin’ Up! (since I finally got my big order!).
