Believe

After seeing this style of card on the Paper Craft Planet blog, I just had to try one out.

 I LOVE how it turned out.

Tomato Red card stock was stamped with a very old stamp using Love Letter ink. "Draped" portion of card is patterned paper. Of course the image is the Fairy Stardust stamp from Penny Black Inc. After tying bow, the whole thing was then attached to textured green card stock with Xyron Mega Runner. Sentiment was cut with Silhouette and zipped through my Create A Sticker.

Entering this little cutie into a couple of challenges.

Tiny Treasure Box

 I have a really quick treasure box for you to make and give away or add to your tree. A tradition at our home is to find a tiny gift on the tree, and these cute treasure boxes could hold a small piece of jewelry, or a handmade gift certificate, etc. Maybe you could start a new tradition of your own this year.

Get your Scor-Pal and card stock and

Let’s make a box…..

For one box you will need card stock cut at 4 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches. Score at 7/8 inches on each side. Cut a slit from edge to score line along both long edges as shown above. Use Scor-Tape on “flaps” of short ends to make a box.

For the “Sleeve” of the matchbox, you will need a piece of card stock or Patterned paper measuring
6 x 2 3/4 inches. Score at 1”, 2 1/2”, 3 1/2”, 5'”.

Crease along score lines and glues ends together making a “sleeve”.

Slide box into sleeve. Attach an eyelet as desired, tying a knot with cording to make a hanging ornament.

You can then decorate to your hearts desire. In these examples, I attached a Spellbinders Poinsettia & Snowflakes.

Tied with a bow, these small Matchboxes would make a great gift holder for a Teacher, Postal Worker etc.

I hope you have a wonderful Holiday.

Love & Liquid Pearls,

Penny

Joy

Hello my scrappy friends.... I figure by now you have at least a few holiday cards made. But we are coming down to the wire and this simple card you will be able to whip up in no time. Stamp, Color, Score and run through your Cuttlebug, done.

Let’s Make a Card…..

Cut White card stock 4 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches. Stamp image towards the top, color with Copics. Stamp and heat emboss sentiment below.

Using your Scor-Pal, score lines along image and sentiment as shown. (I like to line my scoring along the 6 1/4 inch mark on the Scor-Pal as I love the three tiny score lines next to each other).

Cut Black Magic card stock 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches, emboss with Pinking Stitch folder, sand emboss (how cool is this paper letting a different color show through after sanding). Trim just so the pinking is at the edge.

Adhere colored image section to the Black Magic section with Scor-Tape. Tie Black/White twine around this piece, then adhere to card base made from heavy card stock measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
