For my treat box today, I've taken one of my previous fold-flat boxes and used current fall products to make this beautiful box you could use at your Thanksgiving table as a place holder or treat to take home. It's a mash up of several bundles used to achieve a very unique look. I do love how it turned out don't you!? You will find a video tutorial on how to put this box together over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Happy Thanksgiving Scalloped rectangle shaped card with hot foil
This card came about during a phone call to my friend when this idea popped into my head. I wrote it down, finished my phone call, then came inside and went to work on the idea which involved a foiled brick wall, the little mouse, and leaves. This is the final result. During the working phase I decided to try to make a scalloped rectangle card...I will definitely be making more of those. It's so easy to put together and it's something different than your every day card.
Be sure to watch the video tutorial for the scented pumpkin technique, inspired by Lisa Bowden, and how to put this card together. You can find it over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

A seaside birthday card with hot foil!
Hello all! I'm introducing the brand new Stampin' Hot Foil system by Stampin' Up! today! This system will be available to customers beginning Friday, July 10th (yes, in just two more days!) I love this system and have been wanting to try hot foiling for quite some time. I'm so glad I waited since Stampin' Up! has introduced any easy-to-use machine that doesn't take up a bunch of space and works with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine I already own. It's a win-win for me and for you! In my video tutorial this week you will find an introduction to the machine, a small demonstration on how it works and a card tutorial for a seaside birthday card.

Hugs botanical card
For my card today, I've combined the Bordered in Beauty bundle with Fern & Flora. I am a sucker for foliage and for fancy borders so these bundles caught my eye right away. When I was looking for a sentiment for this card, I immediately thought it would make a perfect sympathy card. Of course, it will work for many occasions, but especially for someone going through a rough patch and who wouldn't love to receive a card like this in the mail?

You're gold pop-out diamond fun fold card
I've made another pop-out diamond fun fold card for you today. I love this fold, it looks like it should be so hard but comes together so easily! It adds an additional wow factor to your handmade card. I wanted to showcase the Good Luck stamp set as Stampin' Up! rarely gives us a stamp set for St. Patrick's Day. I suggest you get it as soon as possible before it sales out. Once Valentine's Day is over, it will start to sell quickly.
