Friendship Preserves Fall pocket holder/card!!

Wanted to share a cute way to present a candy bar/treat!! I used the Friendship Preserves stamp set, Mixed Medley hostess stamp set,  Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper, Early Espresso cardstock for the base, Adorning Accents Edgelits,  and Early Espresso Scalloped Tulle Ribbon.
 
Start with an 81/2"x11"piece of Early Espresso cardstock. Cut to 5 1/4" wide by 9 1/2" long. Score at 5 3/4" mark.
Using the Big Shot & the Adorning Accents Edgelits die at one of the 5 1/4" sides and cut. Do the same with a piece of DSP (cut at 5 1/4"x3 3/4").

  Place red backed Sticky Strip on both sides of the "pocket" you created as shown below.
 Cut an additional piece of DSP for the back/inside of your pocket (cut @ 5 1/4"x 3 1/2"). (If you are going to use ribbon or tulle be sure to tie on/around before you continue to the next step!!)Adhere your DSP to the front and inside/back portions of your pocket and then fold bottom half (red sticky tape) up and adhere down. This is what your pocket should look like!!

Now just decorate with your stamped image/s and embellishments!! Slip a candy bar inside as I did in the completed picture!! For the sentiment I used the Window Frames Collection Famelits Dies, Festive Paper-Piercing Pack. The little tag hanging on the candy bar was made with the 3/4" Circle Punch and 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch.

Autumn Acorn Fun!!;)

 This little treat/card box, matching card, and treat bag using the NEW Autumn Accents Bigz die (item# 127812) and Wonderfall stamp set (item#128087). The pumpkin was inspired by a designer from Ustamp with Dawn & Friends. I used the 2 1/2" Circle punch (item#120906) to make/form the little pumpkin on the front of the holder using the Orchard Harvest DSP (item#126895). I embellished the pumpkin with our NEW In Color Dahlias (item#127556) and Baker's Twine in Early Espresso (item#123124). So FUN to make!! The treat bag is filled with some YUMMY Maple Malted Milk Balls and Chocolate covered Toasted Corn Nuts!!

Sweet Baby Layout!!

Thank goodness GRADUATION is OVER!! What a lot of work!! Now I will have more time to work on my crafts!!!

Made this baby layout & matching cards with my up line/friend. She gave hers to her Niece for a baby shower. I love it but I don't have anyone to give it to right now!! It will be nice to have on hand if/when I may need it!! We used the new Baby Prints stamp set, Occasions Alphabet (sentiment), Sweet Shoppe Alphabet Lower (retired), and various punches/sizzix dies.

You can insert the layout in a nice frame and you have a beautiful matching card!! This was pretty simple to make and I love it!!

Hope all is well & will post again soon!!
