Halloween Matchbook Treats

I have lots of Halloween dsp left over from last year, so I decided to make a few matchbox treats for this year. Here is one of them with a Memory Box die-cut spider and I dotted his eyes with a white gel pen to make him creepier. When you open this up, here's what's inside...

The photo on the left shows the inside with the double-sided paper found at Tuesday Morning years ago. The Trick or Treat sentiment is by Lawn Fawn, and I added a little IO die-cut ghost that was embossed with Lawn Fawn glow-in-the-dark ep. The photo on the right is the inside of another matchbook that was made with SU! dsp, a Unity white-embossed sentiment punched with an EK ticket punch, and what these treats are filled with - a WAWA coffee thin! I wish I'd never discovered these wafer-thin coffee/chocolate bites of deliciousness because they are a bite of heaven!! If I enjoy them this much, I'm sure other coffee/chocolate lovers will too, so those are my treats for this Halloween. I'm grateful they are sold individually and NOT sold in bags, or I'd be in a sugar coma by now!

Here is the assortment I've made using all stamps, dies, stickers and elements from my Halloween stash. These are SO much fun to make and a great way to use up those little bits of dsp and cardstock too! 

If you need any specifics for products used, just email me with your questions. My email address is on the sidebar. I used the Splitcoaststampers tutorial for making these.

A Merry Little Wish

I seem to overlook using this pretty flowering tree die by Memory Box more often than I should, but I've pulled it out and played with it for my card today. I die cut the tree from heavy green cardstock, adding red gemstones to each flower on the tree. The snow-embossed background and white-embossed sentiment are both from SU!. The card base is cherry cobbler.

I'm sharing this over at the Memory Box Challenge #7 which is Seasons Greetings.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Black and White Prim Poppy

My card today was made for the Memory Box Challenge #5 "Black & White." I used the Memory Box Prim Poppy die, cutting it 3 times from black, and 3 times on the white panel. I placed the black poppies inside the white panel for an inlaid design. I added a tiny SU! die cut butterfly, along with some black Pizzazz Aplenty gemstones and a small snippet of gingham ribbon. The sentiment is from Lily of the Valley.

That's going to do it for me today, but thanks for stopping by and I wish you a great weekend!

Red and White Christmas

Today I have a Christmas card using the Memory Box Arboscello tree die that I popped up on a piece of white cardstock cut with a SB Nestabilities labels 18. I cut two of the labels 18 panels, and trimmed one with a Lawn Fawn stitched hills die to create the pocket in which to place the tree. I was going to add some glitter to the tree and hills, but decided it looked fine without it. The tiny bird came from a retired SU! set and was fussy cut and popped up on foam tape. I added a piece of red satin ribbon, along with a SNSS sentiment, and lastly did the card base and red panels with stitched rectangle dies. That's another one added to my stash for Christmas :)

I'm entering this into the Memory Box #4 challenge which is " terrific trees."

I'm also taking this over to Pixie's Snippets Playground #194.

Thanks for stopping by and do have yourself a wonderful day!

Cool Thoughts for a Warm Day

The Memory Box Challenge #3 is "cool thoughts for a warm day" so that was my inspiration for making this Christmas card.

I cut a Memory Box Frostyville border die with white and layered it onto a cool blue panel of card stock. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and added some narrow silver ribbon for the finishing touch. What I really like about this card is that it won't require extra postage to mail! Winner!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Red, White, and Blue Love You

I have a card today that might be the last one going into my final OWH box of cards. With July 4th being just 2 days away, I'm in a very patriotic frame of mind and have made quite a few cards using red, white, and blue.

I used a sheet of Pebbles dsp for the background, and the strip of navy stars on the tag was the edge of the 12x12 dsp. I cut 3 feathers with a Memory Box wild feathers die, and tied them together with some red, white, and blue twisted twine. The tag was done with a SU! scalloped tag punch, and I added 2 mini star brads, along with some white satin ribbon. The red panel was done with a Lil Inker stitched diagonal die, and I added some random heart pieces from my doo-dad box. The sentiment was done with a SSS small "love you" die.

I'm entering this into the Memory Box Challenge #2 - use a MB stamp or die (I used Wild Feathers die) and use the colors red, white, and blue.

I'm also sharing this at the Snippets Playground #183 - use snippets

I'll have something else to share later on this afternoon, so stay tuned. Make it a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Mosaic Top Note

I enjoy making mosaic panels for my cards when I have lots of small left-over snippets of dsp, so here's one I made and cut with a Top Note die. I randomly snipped tiny pieces of MB dsp and placed them in a pile. I took a piece of scrap A2 cardstock (those stamping mishaps are good for this), and ran it through the Xyron to lay adhesive on the entire piece, then randomly placed the snippets on the sticky side, leaving spaces between them which I sprinkled with white ep and heat embossed afterward. After it was embossed, I cut it with the Top Note die. This looks great with dark cardstock and gold or sliver ep as well. It takes time but I find it extremely relaxing, so every now and then I make one to use my snippets. The butterfly is from MB using the vivienne and darla dies, and the sentiment is SU! I embossed the background dsp with a SU! square lattice ef and I'm pleased with the way this feminine card turned out.

I'm sharing this one over at the Snippets Playground #183

Thanks to Bonnie for her comment letting me know about the new Memory Box Challenge #1 which is "butterflies" where I'll be linking this too.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a great Sunday!
