November Stamp Club

Well hello chicas! Sneak peak at tonight's stamp club! Time to get ready for the holidays!! This first project would make a great little treat to put at each person's place setting for the holidays! Even if you aren't hosting the holidays, what a great treat to bring for the hostess! The bags I purchased at Hobby Lobby - they are 3 1/2 x 2 x 6 3/4. Fill it with a little candy, maybe those little pumpkins made out of pure sugar...?

This next card makes me smile - who doesn't love Santa this time of year? And how fun to have a card that is Santa's suit? The Tinsel trim is about the best ribbon ever - sparkly, irredescent! Yummy! There is no sentiment inside this card - but you could easily put your favorite holiday greeting!

And this last card has got to be my favorite! I am LOVING making these origami Christmas Trees. There could be a lot of these cards being sent from our house this year! I used 4 squares that measure 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5. FUN!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all! What a great day to thank all those wonderful people in your life! Today the meal is at my house. (come on by, I'm sure there will be lots of extra food!)

Hopefully these cards made it to everyone on time - they get mailed out a little late since we were out of town last weekend.

Shot of the inside. I rarely do the greeting on the inside, but think this works!

November Club

It's club time again! We have a great Thanksgiving card, and 2 cards that go with home-made gifts. Nothing better than a home-made gift these days!

Okay, so this first card really makes me smile. I just LOVE the 3-d pumpkin. I am not sure that it will mail well, but pop an extra stamp on it, and I bet it would! The bottom edges of each layer is torn (great therapy to tear paper) and sponged.


Here is a close up of the 3-d pumpkin. It is made up of 8 scallop oval punches that are sponged on the edges. And a litle piece of scrap Old Olive curled up for the stem. :)

Anyone make home-made salsa, jelly, bread, cookies, pasta? Anything that you make and give as a gift would look great topped with this cute little apron, don't you think? Write the recipe on the card and makes a great gift topper. Make sure you fill in the yum factor! :)
