Shimmer & Frost

Hi Friends,

I have a new obsession and it's called Shimmer White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  The shimmer & sparkle from this embossing is gorgeous! It's so disappointing that a photo can't capture the beauty, you're just going to have to take my word for it!


Colors are Night of Navy, Seaside Spray & Whisper White.  The stamp sets are Still Scenes & Itty Bitty Christmas.


This is a flip-flop fold, CASE'd from one I did a few weeks ago - you can get the measurements HERE.


Nice & simple on the inside - thanks for looking!

Easiest Halloween Treat Holders Ever - Photo Tutorial

Hi Friends,

Here's a quick & easy treat holder for Halloween.  Thank you to Vicki Shaffer for sharing this fold at our last get together!



Here are the steps to create it:


You'll need a  piece of double-sided 6 x 6 Designer Paper for this fold.  


Crease all the folds with a Bone Folder.  No adhesives are required - this treat holder stays together without any glue or tape!  Of course, you'll probably want to add some embellishments:


You can go anywhere your imagination takes you to embellish these!  I mounted my black cat on a 2" circle of Mango Melody.  The Designer Paper is Gorgeous Grape, as is the stamped "Happy Halloween".  

Pro Tip:

Paper Pumpkin stamps are the perfect size for small treat holders like this.  The stamp I used here is from the September 2019 kit.

Nature's Beauty

Hello Friends,

Mr. Brown came last week with a new box of goodies for me and here's the result:


Oh my goodness, I love the Nature's Beauty stamps!  I can see so many uses for this set, particularly for the guys.  This is a very special set for Stampin' Up, as they are using it to raise funds - $3 of every purchase goes toward mental health organizations.

I'm submitting my card to these challenge blogs -




About those leaves...


Aren't they gorgeous?!  Here's the trick to get this look -


The die (Gathered Leaves dies) cuts & embosses at the same time.  If you ink the die before cutting with it, the veins really stand out.  The die comes perfectly clean under running water when you're finished.


I combined Nature's Beauty with the Gather Together Bundle for this card.  I love everything Fall, so I purchased the entire Come to Gather Suite, which includes the Cajun Craze Linen Thread (and a whole lot more!)
