Peppermint Patty Boxes

Hello & Happy Thursday!

The week is moving along pretty quick!

I am up early this morning with Shawn because I have a list a mile long of things to get wrapped up today! My Holiday Hoopla Stamp Day w Friends is 2 days away and I wish I could say that I was ready! My kits are ready but that's about it!

My card lady called me twice this week to give me card orders and I have been working feverishly to get them done so I can deliver it to her over the weekend. 

I know I am pushing myself thin but after this weekend I can then start focusing on my own Christmas and getting my cards addressed and doing some shopping!

I will get there, eventually!

So, today I have a sweet Christmas treat to share.

I know not many people are fans of the York Peppermint Patties but I just love them!

My Peppermint Patty treats usually always sell so that is why I continue to make them.

I don't usually like to make candy treats ahead because I like to see how I can match up some papers to the wrappers on the treats. The York Peppermint Patties have red & green wrappers this year with snowflakes on. I found 3 sheets of this snowflake paper in my stash and used it because it matched so nicely! I took 2 peppermints of each color and stacked them inside the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes that Stampin Up carries. I then cut my paper 2 x 10. Scored each one at 2, 4, 6 & 8. Gave them a nice crease with the bone folder and wrapped them around the box. I found in my stash some red clothes pins and a variety of red buttons. I used retired twine to loop thru my buttons and glued them on under my sentiment panel. The sentiment comes from an old Hero Arts set. I use this set quite often during the holidays because it is perfect sized and a nice font.

Project Details:

Stamps: Hero Arts

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Love Nicole Paper (AC Moore)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Clothes Pins & Buttons from stash, Twine (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I had 3 bags of the candy but only made 10 treat holders.

I kept one bag to put in my candy tray for home!

Yes, out of all the treats I make, the York Peppermint Patties are my favorites!

Do you have a favorite candy for Christmas?

No Tricks, Just Treats

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Today I have the last Halloween card to share that we made last Saturday.

This one was quite easy and uses 2 brand new sets from the Stampin Up 2019 Holiday Mini Catalog called Everything Festive and Wonderfully Wicked...

I really liked this card as well as the one from yesterday!

I did most of the work ahead of time for the ladies so they did not get overwhelmed.

The orange panel under the sentiment I had already embossed with the Woodland EF ahead of time.

All they had to do was the stamping and then assemble their cards.

It worked out really well.

Card Details:

Stamps: Everything Festive, Wonderfully Wicked (inside)

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Only Orange (retired), Basic Black, Whisper White, Love Nicole DSP from AC Moore

Accessories: Woodland EF, Circle Layering Framelits, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The cardbase for this one uses Only Orange cardstock.

Anyone remember that color??

I only had a few sheets left of it so I decided to use it up.

I am down to just scraps now which is a good thing!

That's all for today!

Halloween Pumpkins

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your all enjoying the weekend!

It was a busy day yesterday for us as the car had an appointment for an oil change then a quick trip to Sam's Club and AC Moore. 

Glad that's all done so today we can watch football!

It's the Baltimore Ravens first home game so we're excited to watch!

This past week I have been at my table as much as I could be.

I have Halloween treats just about finished. Waiting on ribbon to finish the last of it.

I will soon start sharing them!

I worked on more Halloween cards, too!

I have a pack to share that I whipped up the other day using up some cute pumpkin paper that was in my stash. It came from AC Moore.

Isn't that paper adorable?

I paired it up with Tangelo Twist which was an In Color several years ago.

I still have alot of it in my stash!

My sentiment comes from the Stampin Up Spooktacular Bash stamp set and I used the Ornate Frames Dies to cut it out. 

I left the paper do all the work!

Card Details:

Stamps: Spooktacular Bash

Ink: Tangelo Twist

Cardstock: Tangelo Twist, Whisper White, Love Nicole from AC Moore

Accessories: Ornate Frames Dies, Granny Apple Green Glittered Enamel Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Are you getting those Halloween cards made?

I know some people do not send them.

 I love Halloween and sinceI make my own cards....I always send them!
