Christmas Treats Day #2

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Today will be a day of cardmaking for Audrey! She called me twice within 10 minutes yesterday to order her cards for December so I am going to get right on them. Saturday morning my girls are coming over for a Christmas Stamp Day with Friends and thankfully I am prepared for that! 

Today is also Ryan's 38th birthday! Going to make his favorite taco's for dinner this evening since he does not like to go out to eat. I made a card for him that I put money in so he can do some online shopping. I will share that card soon!

It is day # 2 of sharing my Christmas treats with you and this one is one of my favorites!

In the Stampin Up 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog these boxes are included in the Reindeer Days Suite Collection and I wanted to fancy them up for Christmas!

Project Details:

Stamps: To Every Season (retired), Decorative Trees (Million Dollar Sales Achiever Set)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Real Red, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Basic White, Garden Green Glimmer Paper, Take A Bow DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Decorative Trees Dies, Real Red Ribbon (retired) Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Each book box has 2 Reese's PB Trees inside. You could also add a few dollars or even a gift card inside to sweeten the deal! I made 10 of these in the 2 patterns shown. Since these boxes don't require much to assemble, they are quick & easy to whip up!

Sparkly Seasons

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I hope your staying cool in the midst of the brutal heatwave!

Bailee & I went out for a walk around the yard yesterday and it was so hot. 

There was a nice breeze but that did not make too much difference.

Last week I was sitting at my stamp table and I decided to pull out all of my Halloween stuff. Stamp sets, papers, dies and whatever was related to Halloween! I made 12 packs of cards with it and emptied out 2 packages of DSP! That felt so good to throw the empty packs away!

Today I am sharing one pack using the retired Sparkly Season from 2015 along with it's coordinating Seasonal Frame Thinlets Dies. I used several retired things so if you are familiar to Stampin Up! over the years you will probably recognize some things...

I purchased this set from Facebook second hand and I really don't remember using it much so today it got inked and used. I may even use it for some cards for Christmas since there are Christmas images in it, too! Today it's time for those happy jacks to shine....and do they ever shine! Look at those big smiles!

Card Details:

Stamps: Sparkly Seasons (2015 (pumpkin)-retired), Howl O Ween Treat (2015 (hat)-retired), To Every Season (2019 (sentiment)-retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Perfect Plum (retired)

Cardstock: Perfect Plum (retired), Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, Cast A Spell DSP (2009-retired)

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Seasonal Frame Thinlets Dies (2015-retired), Boo To You Framelits (2015-retired), Halloween Night Enamel Dots (retired), Linen Thread Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I had so much fun making these! I know I am not going to sell 12 + packs of Halloween cards this year but if & when my hands give out I have plenty to fall back on! Besides, it feels good to use this stuff up!

My thoughts today...

Spooky season is upon us but it sure does not feel like it when it's 100 degrees outside.

Hopefully soon!

Thanks for stopping by & stay cool!

Halloween Candy Bags

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope your enjoying your weekend!

It's football day again!

Here at the Aungst Pad we love when this time of the year comes around!

Today I am going to start sharing some of my Halloween Treats.

We are just a bit over a month away from Boo Day.

I got everything done, treats, cards & my projects for my Halloween Stamp Evening w Friends!

I've mentioned in another post that i'm not too keen on this year's Stampin Up! Halloween DSP.

With all the pretty colors like Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape & Highland Heather, there are none of those colors in it. I would be tickled green if we had some cool patterns in those colors. This paper seems dark & gray.

Anyways, I used this sheet with the spider web on it and followed thru with the color scheme on my tag. The sentiment & bats are from the To Every Season stamp set that has 4 coordinating mini punches. I added a pop of color with the Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon.

Project Details:

Stamps: To Every Season

Ink: Basic Gray

Cardstock: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Monster Bash DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, 3x6 Gusseted Cello Bags, Rhinestones, Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My one customer loves these bags filled with candy.

She usually buys all that I make and this year I scaled it back a bit and only made 4.

If she needs more I can always make them...

This is usually Shawn cheering on his team!

Sometimes he gets pretty loud!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy your Sunday, no matter how you spend it!
