Get Well Card for a Co-Worker

Here's a card I created for one of my co-workers that is off due to surgery.  I'll take it to our group meeting this month and everyone can sign it.  He'll certainly feel better knowing we miss him!

This is the first card I've created using the new Beveled Windowpanes.  They're so much fun and add a lot of class to the card, don't you think?  I used the Countryside Stamp Set for the Pickup and Loads of Love Stamp Set for the sentiment.  The Baja Breeze layer I ran through the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and then sponged with Soft Suede Ink.  I stamped the pickup on Water Color Paper and tore it around the edges and sponged it with Soft Suede Ink too.  I colored it with Water Color Pencils and used the Blender Pen.  The card base is Soft Suede and the ribbon I used is the new Crumb Cake Seam Binding.  I think Roy will like it and hope it cheers him up a bit during his recovery.

a little treat...

She also has a video showing you how to create these cute boxes.  Be sure to visit her site.  The only thing I did different is I used one solid piece of DSP for the ends and she cut two.  I also added the love and tag from the Tiny Tags Stamp Set and used Riding Hood Red CS and Seam Binding.

Halloween Treats

I used the new Batty for You stamps to create these little treats. The #2 Box I cut out of DSP Cast-A-Spell and filled with little candy bars wrapped in the coordinating back-side of the paper that I used for the box. Rich Razzleberry Ink and CS, scallop punch and 1 1/4" circle punch and 1 3/8" circle punch layered with the Trick or Treat..smell my feet! For the bag I used the Top Note Die and the same scallops and circle with the scallop out of Whisper White CS and sponged along the edges with Rich Razzleberry Classic stampin' pad. Oh yeah, wrapped the box with Rich Razzleberry dotted swiss ribbon and tied the tag on with linen thread. Happy Halloween!
