Candy cane lane

                           

I know I have already said I LOVE this Candy Cane Lane dsp but I have to say it again.  I LOVE this paper!!! It is so pretty and so easy to make such a beautiful card.  That's probably the number one thing I love about Stampin' Up! They come up with papers and stamp sets that coordinate so well it makes me look brilliantly creative even when I'm not. 

This card uses a crumb cake card base, real red background layer and then a 3 3/4x 5 white layer with a strip of 2 1/2x 5 dsp layered on the top half.  I cut two houses from the dsp to add to my scene and stamped a greeting in early espresso from the Tin of Tags stamp set. I added a piece of white to the inside so I could write and stamped a little candy.   After I added some dazzling details to the snow on the roofs I was done.  

Don't forget that there is a great sale going on right now at Stampin' Up! on

Easy Holiday Treat Containers

My friend and fellow demo are doing FREE card making classes at the local community center on Mondays and this week I brought samples in to show them how they can make easy little treat containers for kids parties or just for fun.  

Many of you have made or at least seen the sour cream containers before, but just encase you haven't, here are the ones I made. 

Of course these use some of my favorite stamps from the Holiday Catalog. I just can't stop using that Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and the Cookie Cutter halloween set is just as cute! Just by changing the paper and the little person on the front you can have treats for all the different upcoming holidays. I was going to add a bat to that Mummy one but I forgot, lol. 

I will put directions on later but you can find many on Pinterest. 

The paper size is 4 1/2x 6 for these which makes them a tad bit smaller but they still hold a decent amount of candy and there is not much wasted paper.

A card and a contest! 

I am certainly starting to get in the Christmas spirit. Yes, I know it is only October and we have quite a few holidays between now and then but when you have to prepare for craft shows and Christmas Card classes, you start working pretty early on Christmas cards.  The card today came from another demonstrator on Pinterest and reminds me of one of my favorite Christmas movies. Bet you can't guess what it is...............

If you couldn't guess, the movie is Elf, but that is not the contest lol. Bet you thought you were going to get off easy. 

So what is the contest? Well I have a Christmas giveaway going on and it will end October 7th.  All you need to do to win is comment and tell me how many times I used the word Christmas in this blog post and what your favorite Christmas movie is.  How simple is that? 

Don't forget that there is a great sale going on right now at Stampin' Up! on designer series paper and some other great things for World Card making day (which was yesterday!) Did you know that?

If you are anything like me, then you will LOVE this sale on paper!! I don't know about you, but I don't think I could ever have enough paper. I think my husband and kids would disagree though, lol. 

Seriously, I think I could buy 50 packs of the Candy Cane Lane paper just so I could still have some after I make all the adorable cards I see on Pinterest using it.
