This was so fun to make, putting little surprises in each carton to create a Twelve Days of Christmas gift. Lisa B, thanks for the fabulous idea! These little pouches remind me of the sour cream packets you get at fast food places.

You make the world special
After making a couple of these cards, I added a scallop circle punch of chocolate chip cardstock and an image stamped from Wishing you the Best by SU in Cool Caribbean, popped up with Zots 3-D adhesive dots.
Yes, I have been making cards. No, I haven't been taking pictures and posting them. So here's one I just whipped up to prove that I'm still creating. The sentiment, "you make the world special just by being in it" is from the stamp set You Make Me Happy by Stampin' Up! and the polo button brads are by Making Memories. The designer paper is by The Angel Company and the ink is Garden Green by Stampin' Up! in case you're curious.

First day of fall, my favorite season
I just got this Falling Leaves stamp set and adore it and am pleased with how this card came out. I was inspired by Jackie Bolhuis. Bon Appetit is the inside sentiment. Compliments to the Chef was one of the first sets I ordered from the Stampin' Up! new line. The featured stamp matches my Michelangelo by Oneida flatware.

Sweetness Unlimited
Last week I hosted a baby shower and used the remnants from some decor for this card below. Thought I would include a couple of pictures from the event too. I used my Stampin' Up Sweetness Unlimited stamp (welcome baby) for the first time.

Women's Conference in color
We began with 160 pieces of cardstock, then cut them in half, to create 320 programs in five bold, bright colors.This "Polka Dot Punches" heart image was stamped and punched 320 times on whisper white, then placed on Kraft cardstock, six per page, then run through my printer with a scripture printed on it that references our Relief Society women's conference theme of "one heart, one mind."
Then came another 320 pieces of cardstock to keep an assembly line of four to six women busy...for four to six hours...cutting and folding matchbox gifts, lovingly filled with four assorted flavors of Hershey's Nuggets candies.
They look so festive and party-friendly.
Sorted. Let's try looking at them from this angle.
When you put this much work into them, you want to admire the outcome again and again.
Dreaming of bold, bright matchboxes.
Now in focus, two days before the big event.
Here are the 320 colorful programs, with gorgeous white cardstock printed inserts, not pictured.
