Double Pocket Treat Holder

I have seen several different versions of these. They all start out with a square sheet of paper and the measurements differ from there. I have chosen the 6"x6" size since it allows you to get 4 projects out of one sheet of 12"x12" DSP. Here I have used the More Amore DSP #129309 and the Polka Dot Parade DSP #126902. The finished size fits a Ghiradelli chocolate square perfectly. Posted below is the video I used for this project by Brenda Keenan @ http://keenankreations.blogspot.com.

Valentine Glitz

These cards are for sale on Ebay.

Ok, I admit...much doesn't get by me on paper without glitter, rhinestones or embossing. For some reason it just isn't "done" until some or all of the those elements are added to a card. I think the Cuttlebug was one the best little inventions ever. Before I bought the Cuttlebug (which you can get with a % off coupon at Micheal's) I tried to use a rolling pin with an embossing folder. It didn't work...and I looked like a retard if you can imagine the scene.

I have been working on several cards over the last few day and have finally got around to photos and posting. On this card I stamped the greeting before I embossed the paper using the Cuttlebug. Another great tip...when paper is on sale at Hobby Lobby, go find the individual sheets of glitter paper (used on the two small hearts). It is a thicker paper, but you can still get it to work on a punch.

Items used:
SU Love Letter DP
SU Polka Dot Punches Stamp Set
Stamp: Happy Valentines Day...stamp bought at Micheal's or Hobby Lobby

...on ivory base

Paper Challenge

Here is my first post. This was an ugly paper challenge to myself (and to a few of my Monday card making friends). I didn't particularly like this paper or lets just say it wouldn't normally be the first I would reach for from the selection. The yellows and browns with an odd combination of teal made for an interesting mix. I have two versions using this paper from Me & My Big Ideas (Micheal's). My enabling for today...this paper was $4.99 for 140 sheets. That is 75% off so I just couldn't leave without buying four packages! Gifts for all! So run right out and get some. There are many sheets that are completely adorable. As I use them I will post the cards here. The first card below is 4"x5.5" and the second measures 4 7/8"x 4 7/8".
