Christmas Box with Matching Candle

Hello I saw this and had to try and make one. I have used retired Christmas papers and ribbon. The new jumbo snowflake punch (116628) was used as well. Took a bit of figuring out but it looks fine with the matching candle.. Hope to find time to make a few more for a up coming craft sale. Makes a perfect small gift for teacher, neighbour or just a friend.

Isn't it hard to believe that September is almost over. The weather here has turned and it now does feel like fall. Thanks for stopping by.

Ornament Punch Merry Christmas

I saw a similar card to this and had to do it too. Think this will be one of my stamp a stack cards... I used the Stampin'Up! textured impressions folder Petals-A-Plenty (116824) love this folder.. then cut it out with the Ornament punch (116794) colored in with the uni-ball Signo Gel Pen (105021). the stamp set Four the Holidays (116921) was used for the Merry Christmas..
This picture is a little blurry sorry for that.

Candy Kisses Boxes

Made these little triangle boxes and put Candy kisses inside. Uses a couple of wheels one is Christmas Chatter (109686) the other I think is retired. Used the Jumbo Snowflake punch (116628) and the stamp set Delightful Decorations (116517) with the matching punch Ornament(116794)
These are quick and easy. Could be used as name placements at the table. or attached to a present for the tag.
Thanks for stopping by feel free to leave comments if you like..

Monster treat box

Hello stampers. This little box was one of BJ Peters convention swaps. Isn't he cute. Last year I made him a girl friend she was done the same with pink hair and a bow. Cute for those special children on your Halloween list.
I must say we are having nice warm days but fall is in the air,especially early mornings.
The My Digital Studio that I won at convention has been shipped so I am patiently waiting. Then I will try my hand at this new avenue that Stampin"Up! has given us. I was on the fence about it. But the more I see the more I think I will incorporate this into my business. I as many of you know am not a wizard at the computer but I think I may just get the hang of this new product and if I can ANYONE can.... till next time
