Fall Card Holder Boxes

I love making something my guest can carry their cards home from card class each month.  I saw a video for these boxes from Pootles (aka Sam Donald) over at pootles.co.uk.  She made them to hold her emboss folders on her desk.  I thought...yay!  another box to hold cards!

I used retired DSP from last year's holiday catty, some Old Olive rope and card stock.  Great use of retired items!  I did use the current leaf dies and stamp set called Vintage Leaves to add a little foliage!  Easy and fast to make...hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

Sneak Peak of Your Presents

Sneak peak of a new stamp set called Your Presents in the new 2015 holiday catalog available September 1st.  This is the card we made at a a make and take at convention a couple of weeks ago.  We receive this set in our convention bag.  The cool thing about this stamp set is it is designed to be used for the kissing technique.  The gift behind the JOY shows this where I inked up the stripe stamp and than kissed it against the solid gidt stamp and the stamped on card stock.  

Also you can see some new ribbon found also in the holiday catalog.  It is a 1/8" stripe ribbon that comes in green and red (you receive two rolls 5 yards each for $8.00.)  I like that so I can offer both colors on a card when I use it for card class.  

Enjoy your Tuesday...thanks for stopping by!
