Mini Milk Carton Bird Houses with Christmas Owls

Hello there, 
Hubby went on his work Christmas do today and he wanted a little something for the girls he works with so this is what I spent a whole day last weekend making ;-)
I started with the Mini Milk Carton Die, some Crumb Cake card {the Crease Pad makes this job a lot easier as the score lines are a lot less likely to cut right through ;-)} and of course the Big Shot!
Once cut I folded the score lines and then before assembling I stamped with the Woodgrain Background stamp.
Top Tip: This die cut carton is too big to stamp all in one go, I simply folded it in half and stamped twice, this also gives the added bonus of the woodgrain was going vertically as it would naturally :-)
 To make the roof I punched strips of Early Espresso card with the Scallop Edge Punch, then stamped the strips using White Craft ink and the (retired) Serene Snowflakes stamp set. A current set that would work could be Festive Flurry. Then I inked each edge, again with white craft ink, before glueing them first together and then to the milk carton sides. 
A torn white card strip makes the snow cap and when removed allows access to the goodies inside :-)
 Then I added a Punched Owl accented with Red Glimmer Paper to the front,
and sat him on a Gumball green branch made with the Bird Punch
 and Santa Owl was topped with a cute hat :-) 
 OK, I will share the finished bagged and tagged houses with you tomorrow but that's all from me for tonight.
I hope you liked today's treat holders and thanks as always for looking.
Stampin' Hugs,

Chalkboard Heat Embossing using From the Heart by Stampin' Up! Teachers Thanks.

Hello!
I am going to share my last Heat Embossing class with you over the next 3 days starting with this Chalkboard embossed card we made. This would make a great teachers card don't you think?
To achieve this look simply stamp with Versamark on black card (I find an elaborate/old fashioned font style stamp works well, this is From My Heart), heat emboss with white powder and add "smudges" with white craft ink using a  sponge dauber, simples!
 I used the woodgrain background stamp on the crumb cake layer
 the banner across the bottom was made with the 1+1/4" scallop circle punch and added punched stars to each flag.
Right, that's today's card
Back soon with more heat embossed cards :-))))
Stampin' hugs,

Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas card

Hello,
I have a super quick but very sparkly card to share with you today. 
We used the woodgrain background stamp for added texture and it was a great card for a stamp a stack this December, and nice and slim to post too ;-) I have loved using this stamp (Heart of Christmas) this Christmas with markers for a multi-coloured look...
a bit of spritzing with the Crumb Cake marker (again;-))
 and some gorgeous glimmer paper in red and silver with a small punched star too
OK, back tomorrow with a special Christmas card from my last class this year.
Thanks for visiting and k-e-e-p wrapping ;-)

Woodgrain Heart

Well, if I have scheduled this properly I will be waking up to a full days Stampin' Up! convention going and you will be seeing some of my swaps!
I used the new woodgrain background with whisper white craft ink and the full heart punch, teamed with the yummy flirtatious DSP
 and with either some Pretty in Pink satin ribbon or Wisteria Wonder ruffle ribbon
Well, I should be swapping these cards very soon for lots of other yummy inspiration but I will be back tomorrow with some more swappage for you :-)
Stampin' Hugs for today,
