Owl be thinking of you with Christmas Friends

 Happy Sunday everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your day.  For my card today, I’ve used a technique new to me.  Sara Douglas, Stampin’ Up!®️ CEO showed this technique during her live this past week.  She said it was her concept artists who told her about it.  Did you know you can heat emboss on the Stampin’ Up!®️ glimmer paper?  Well, once I saw it I just had to see how it would work out.  I used the Merriest Trees stamp set to emboss “snow” on my Garden Green glimmer paper, then cut it out with the coordinating die from the Merriest Trees dies.  Wow!  It is so beautiful when done that way.  If you would like to see how I put this card together, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Triangle Treat box using Hearts & Hugs

 For my final project this week using the Hearts & Hugs bundle by Stampin' Up!, I created this triangle treat box.  I cased the box template from Marisa Alvarez.  I loved how easy and unique this box is.  You can get three boxes from one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock.  Not only is it quick and easy, it's very affordable to make multiples.  I put 6 Dark Chocolate kisses in mine, but there are a lot of other small candies (or jewelry) you could put in them.  To see how I put my treat box together, you can watch the replay over on YouTube here.

    Mark at 2" (center) of both 4" sides, score from the 2" center mark diagonally to the 3" center                     mark on the 6" side.  Repeat three (3) times until your cardstock looks like the template above.
