Even though the Scottie stamp set is advertised as a Christmas set, you can definitely use it for non-Holiday cards. My card below is a recent version of one of my Customer Thank You cards that I send out. For the bow on the pup, I used a white ribbon and colored it with one of our Blends markers. Then I let it dry for a bit before glueing it down with a glue dot. This would be an easy card to replicate when you need a number of them … [Read more...] about Woof!

A Box In A Bag
Last week I shared our adorable Christmas Scottie with our Peekaboo Treat bags. This week, I'm sharing him with a treat bag that you can make in almost any size to suit your needs. My bag below is approximately 3" x 3" tall and 1" across on the bottom. So, what is a box in a bag? This is a gift bag that you make with a box bottom. You can see the bottom below. It has squared off sides just like a box. But the top and sides are rounded like … [Read more...] about A Box In A Bag
Christmas Scottie
Happy Friday! What could be better than a Friday? A Friday with a cute pup! This little dog is the sweetest little guy. He's decked out for the holidays with a fabulous red bow. The Christmas Scottie has three different pups posing in different positions. The coordinating Scottie punch punches out this standing pup. This is one of the Peekaboo Treat Bags. These bags are food safe and the package comes with both white and Kraft colored bags. … [Read more...] about Christmas Scottie
Happy Halloween
In the US, today is the day we dress our kids up in costumes and send them out into the world to knock on strangers doors and ask for candy. Don't worry, we tell them not to talk to strangers or take candy from strangers the other 364 days of the year. I know I said I was sharing the Christmas Scottie set this week, and I am. But, I'm starting with a Halloween Scottie since today is the day. Okay, the witch hat is a bit big for the … [Read more...] about Happy Halloween
You Gnome Me So Well
Happy Friday! I'm back today with the last of my gnome cards for now. But don't be surprised if I drag them back out for more projects later. I love the smile on this guy. He looks so happy to be here today. He probably is because it's Friday! I'm really happy with how this one turned out. The snowflake vellum paper goes so well with the blue snowflake pattern paper. The three larger snowflakes are cut out from the pattern paper. Next … [Read more...] about You Gnome Me So Well
Warm Wishes
I'm back with more gnomes today. This time I'm using the itty bitty gnome from the pattern paper. And this time he has a friend, Mr. Moose. I like how they are greeting each other on a beautiful Winter day. The gnome and the moose were punched out from the pattern paper. This saves so much time when making cards. I could have just cut out the rectangle, but I like the look of the punched edge. It gives it a little something extra. I'll … [Read more...] about Warm Wishes
Kindest Gnomes
Every time we come out with a Gnome set, I have a really hard time resisting it. I don't know why I think these long-haired little old men are so cute, but they are. Specially when you pair them with an adorable mushroom home. These little guys really are just the cutest! The mushroom house and the tiny fox are cut from the matching pattern paper. The gnome is stamped and colored in using our Blends alcohol markers. I loved this Suite so … [Read more...] about Kindest Gnomes
