Cuttlebug holiday folders

WOO HOO! Folders will begin arriving Nov. 6!!! I will be processing preorders starting Friday evening and over the weekend. Look for your shipment notification SOON!!!

Cards submitted by customers

Stephanne Hoover submitted this card she used make the Witch Tilda and Pumpkins. This is one of those stamps that, even though it is from a Halloween collection, can be used for other occasions. This card is perfect for any fall or Thanksgiving theme. Tilda can be a witch for Halloween, but she can also be a pilgrim. Another stamp that is versatile is So Spooky Tilda. She can certainly be used year round. Beautiful card Stephanne!

Linda Cummings made this card for her son for his 29th birthday using a High Hopes dragon stamp. Linda knows that kids are never too old to get a hand stamped card from mom!!!

Cocoa Time Gift Set

So today I've created a fun lil' gift set using one of the CC Designs "Coffee KiKi LaRue" sold HERE--I adore these lil' stamps, so very cute (see my other set HERE)! I decided that I'd make a cocoa gift set with this stamp--I don't drink tea or coffee so I used hot chocolate for my gift pack! (I designed this lil' hot cocoa packet especially for these Land O' Lakes hot chocolate packets that I buy in bulk from Costco--oh so yummy--directions below). The patterned paper is Basic Grey "Lemonade."

KiKi La Rue was colored with Copics and then I paper pieced her robe with some matching DP, added diamond glaze to her mug of cocoa and then stardust stickles to her rollers, flowers & belt! The flowers are all Prima that I layered & topped buttons. I used 2 of my Cuttlebug embossing folders on the background.

This is the front of my gift pack that holds the cocoa--more Basic Grey DP and Primas. I used my Nestabilities Labels 1 to cut the sentiment & background layers out and the packet ties closed with this fun dotted ribbon.


This is what it looks like inside. I just decorated the pockets with more dp and used double-sided tape to seal the edges off tightly! Fun & easy to make--great gifts for the upcoming holiday too---I will be making ALOT of these!

(Dimensions of this packet are 7.75 x 8.5"--scored at 3.5" & 4.25" vertically--the side fold is scored at 6" across horizontally which creates the pockets)

I also created a fun Hot Chocolate Box Template last year (of my own design that fits up to 6 of these packets) and the template is on my sidebar or HERE if you're interested (feel free to use the template just give credit to me please)!
