Homemade Treats

Posted on by

It’s that time of year and I’m baking! I love to bake this time of year and listening to Bing croon. Baking Christmas cookies has been a life long tradition that started with my mom and grandma when I was a child. I’ve passed that tradition on to my children when they were young. My children started by sitting on the counter next to me and helping to pour in the ingredients and of course decorate the cookies. They are all grown up now of course, but my son still loves to stop in and help me with his favorites. lol

So today’s Homemade Treats Bundle (Online Exclusive 166017) brings back special memories for me.

Check out today’s card using the bundle. The sentiment has been stamped in Gray Granite and die cut using the Peace on Earth Dies (Last Chance 165924) and then layered on to the dry embossed Old Olive panel using the coordinating embossing folder, Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (165928) that adds interest to the background.

The cookie sheet has a fun sheen to it that has been created with packing tape that has been added to the card stock before it has been cut out. And of course a little pop of color ahs been added with the Dear Dots (165848) sprinkled around the card.

Fun, right? If you haven’t already checked out our Online Exclusive products be sure to stop by my Online Store since you won’t find these products in any of our catalogs.

Lights & Wonder

Posted on by

Lights in the Sky, the magical Northern Lights have been seen recently as far as North Georgia where I live. Something I thought I’d never get to experience unless I went to Alaska, now I can’t wait to see them in all their glory next year!

The Lights of Aurora Suite (Last Chance 165758) has a wonderful pack of 6×6 Designer Series Paper in it

called the Lights of Aurora 6×6 Designer Series Paper (165755) that is filled with images of the northern lights that is perfect for your projects.

Today’s card uses that Designer Series Paper and teams it up with the Peace on Earth Stamp set (Last Chance 165918) to make a wonderful card of encouragement for a friend.

This card not only shows off this beautiful paper but is also a fun fold, called the Fold Back Card. You open the card by folding back the right edge, which allows the sentiment to swing back and the card to open.

The inside shows off more of the lovely paper. This card uses one full sheet of the 6×6 since the two larger panels are 3″ x 5 1/4″ and the small panel is the last little bit from the top 3/4″ “waste” piece and measures 3/4″ x 5 1/4″.

How do you make this fun fold? It’s so simple, simply score your 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card base in the center like normal at the 4 1/4″ mark and then score again at the 7 1/2″. Decorate the panels as desired and then add the sentiment (or another element) that creates the closure. You’ll want to pop this element up on the 1″ section only to create a bit of height so it swings easily. That’s it! So simple but definitely a wow kind of card. Why not give it a try?
