Bookmarks using DSP scraps

Welcome to my blog. I always end up with lots of scraps when making my cards. I use some of them to make Bookmarks for craft fairs and friends. I made the above bookmarks using scraps of Magic in This Night DSP,Gilded Autumn Speciality DSP and Poinsettia Place DSP. I have a bookmark die set I used for the above bookmarks. If you don’t have the die set you can still make them. Here is one I made using the Delightful Tag Topper punch from Stampin Up.

Materials and Directions 
- Start with a piece of cardstock of your color choice 6 x 2 “ Punch 1 end using the Delightful Tag Topper punch.
-Layering piece of DSP 5-1/2x 1-3/4 you need 2 for each bookmark ( front and back). Glue to the cardstock . Finish with ribbon of your choice.
You can order the punch from my website.

Have a Hoot Bundle with Plaid Tidings DSP

Welcome to my blog. Bundles can help you create fantastic projects! You also save 10% when you buy a bundle. For these cards I used Have a Hoot bundle . I’ll love the owls. These cute owls make Halloween and Christmas cards. I paired this bundle with the Plaid Tidings DSP.  I cut the DSP using a 6x 6 one sheet wonder template.
-Here is the template for the 6 x 6 one sheet wonder template:

I used 1 piece of the DSP and both sides to make the 4 cards. I adhered these pieces to the card bases as in the photos.

-The card base is 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 . I used Crumb Cake and Shaded Spruce.
- I used Whisper White cut using layering square die. I then stamped the image and colored. I layered them on Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade Cardstock die cut  using the larger layering square die. I then adhered to the card as in the photos.

Little Treat Box Dies

Welcome to my blog. Sorry I’ve been absent but I had a family emergency. I’ve started working on some craft fair projects in case we have some this year. These Little Treat Boxes will be great for craft fairs or for little gifts. You can cut them out and store flat for later use. The two boxes above will be great for the beginning of the school year and Halloween.
I cut them out using Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade cardstock. The layering pieces come from the Plaid Tidings DSP cut 1-3/4 x 2-1/4. The pumpkin and apple is punched out of the cardstock using the Apple Builder punch. I used the sentiments from the Harvest Hellos stamp set.  The ribbon is from the Basket Weave Metalic Pack and All the Trimmings Ribbon combo pack.
Here are some more I made:
1 Halloween/ Fall

2. Winter /Christmas
