Dots of Joy

Today's card is just FUN!!
The dots are so bright and joyful.
I love the plaid look on the Cucumber Crush circles.
Dots of Joy
For the plaid technique — use the diagonal stripe rectangle stamp from
Your Presents.  This card used Cucumber Crush card stock and ink.
Stamp the stripes on the card stock, re ink the stamp and turn
it 90 degrees and stamp again over the first image.
There you have it — punch out with a circle punch.
Scatter the circles on the card front — look there's even
a circle under the top red layer.
The little silver star is the finishing touch.
Love it and simple to make.

Penguin Kisses

It's time for some penguin kisses.
Last night was my yearly Christmas Buffet (Santa's Workshop).
I designed (or case) projects that works great for
Christmas gift giving.
I saw this fabulous item that fellow demonstrator, Kelly, had made — LOVE IT!!!
You know how much I love this penguin — I could use this stamp all year long.
But what's better than the penguin — this beauty holds chocolate treats
AND a gift card.  Who wouldn't love to receive this.
Penguin Kisses Gift Card HolderIt's made from Bermuda Bay cardstock.
Start with a 6 1/4" x 9 3/4" piece — score it down the long sides at 1" and 5 1/4".
Turn it and score down the short side at 2 3/4", 5 1/4", 6 1/4", 7 1/4", 8 1/4" and 9 1/4"

Use the Washi Tape punch for the window — just glue a piece of window sheet behind it.
It used the Tombow Multipurpose glue to assemble the box.

A great tip — used glue dots to stick the chocolate kisses to a strip of
cardstock — 1" x 4 5/8".  This makes it quick and easy to insert the
candy and they won't fall all over.

The back has Whisper White card stock that is stamped pretty
so you can write your quick little message.
It's a greeting card, candy and gift card holder all in one.
