I know I share a version of this matchbook treat holder every year, and they are still just as popular as the first time I shared it. So, how can I not continue to share this project? This is what it looks like closed. Here is the open treat holder. The candy is stapled inside the treat holder to make sure it stays in place. I did some math and figured out a solution to maximize how many of these you can get out of a single 8.5x11 … [Read more...] about Hocus Pocus
Annual Catalog & Idea Book
Beautiful Things
Next week, I'll start sharing new products from the September-December Catalog which just started this past Tuesday. Before I get into the Holiday projects, I'm sharing one more project using Thought Wishes Bundle from the Annual Catalog. I can't believe I missed sharing this one earlier. I love bright fun colors and this one is made using the fun pattern paper, Full of Life. To make the beautiful butterflies, I die cut an entire row of … [Read more...] about Beautiful Things
Last One, I Promise
This card is really simple in construction, but it looks so fancy. The key is to properly space the items in the bottom layer so they still look nice when the card is closed. This is my last project from the Mediterranean Suite. I debated sharing one more project, but I can't resist a good z-fold card. You can see the "hello" peeking out from the bottom layer. When you open the card, you see the entire scene across all three panels. … [Read more...] about Last One, I Promise
You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper
I went a little crazy making projects with the Mediterranean Suite and this is by far my favorite. This is a mini clipboard that I decorated with the pattern paper from the Suite and lots and lots of layers. I have a few of these mini decorated clipboards that I've decorated through the years hanging in my studio. It's a great mini canvas that I can use to decorate my space. To make this project, you definitely need the Mediterranean paper. … [Read more...] about You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper
Make It Simple
Last week I shared this lovely card in our New at SU Blog Hop. I love this card with the embossing on the white card stock. It really steps up the look of the card. But what if you don't have embossing folders or a machine with which to use them? You can still make a lovely card without the embossing layer. Today's card is almost identical but without the embossing. I did use a die cut to make the white rectangle. However, you could cut … [Read more...] about Make It Simple

Thank You
We're finishing up this week with another Sketched Butterflies card. This one actually came about using up some left over pieces from other projects.

Check back on Monday to see what's in store. Sketched Butterflies Bundle (English) - … [Read more...] about Thank You
