Each month I hold a Suite Surprise class — this is a class focused on one of the many fabulous Suites in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs, we make cards and projects using the products in the suite. This month’s Suite was the Painted Autumn Suite which includes the Painted Harvest stamp set, Leaf Punch, Painted Autumn designer paper, 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon and Touches of Nature Elements. One of the fun parts of the Suite Surprise is the little treat item they each get. Here’s what they each received last night.
I love making little 3-D treats — I made larger versions of this tote years ago and had forgotten all about them. I saw these cuties that Dawn Griffith made and knew they were PERFECT for this month’s Suite Surprise. They whipped up pretty quick. I was able to get four totes from one 12″ x 12″ piece of designer paper and two pieces of cardstock — love it!!! Here is is up close — so cute — I put some Trail Mix in each tote.
Once everyone received their little tote we started on the cards — again, this is such a fun stamp set and the stamp set makes it so easy to make fabulous cards.
