Jolly Santa

 

Happy Friday!!! Today I'm playing along with Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge :) 

Here's my card featuring Happy Santa from Pretty Pink Posh (Gosh! Lots of "HAPPY" around here today, right?!?!!! *wink)

Not too long ago I was at a crafty retreat and my sweet friend, Dana, let me borrow this set. (Thanks so much, Dana!!!) He's got to be one of the cutest Santas I've ever seen! I love him!
 

My layout was inspired by a technique I saw Lynn Dunn use. I believe she calls it the "Scrappy Strip Technique." Such a super fun way to use patterned paper! You can check out her post HERE.

Thanks for visiting!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

Happy Fall Neighbor Gifts

Hello there! Today I'm playing along with The Four Seasons Challenge: November Anything Goes Fall :)

I recently put together some festive little gift bags to deliver to our neighbor friends.

Here are the tags I made using the Pumpkin Treat Wrap Dies from Taylored Expressions:

I stamped a simple sentiment from Tiny Tagalongs (Concord and 9th), die-cut it using Tasteful Labels (Stampin' Up), and adhered it to the back:

I made 15 tags...5 of each color:

 

 

I found some cute white and kraft striped bags in my stash (I've had them for so long I can't even remember where I bought them) and filled them with chocolates and other candies. I closed the bags up with a strip of ribbon, the pumpkin tags and some clothespins. I think they turned out super cute!!!

 

And here they are...all ready to be delivered to our neighbors' mailboxes!!! Fun!!!

I love making little packages like this and sharing them with neighbor friends! It brings so much joy!!!

Thank you for visiting :)

Have a wonderful day!!!

Happy Saturday! Today I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Thanks/Thanksgiving. This was my first attempt at a Z-Fold card, a fun fold technique that I learned from one of Rachel Tessman's YouTube videos (you can check that video out HERE).

Here are a couple of more views to give you a better idea of what the "Z-Fold" looks like:
 

I had so much fun trying out this new-to-me fun fold and creating this card!
