#Thankful29 Project - A Card a Day in November (Day 27)

You know what they say - 
you can never have too many circle cards! 
Haha!
Ok, not really, but maybe you chuckled a little bit at that?

Anyway, if you stopped by for yesterday's project, you can see that I didn't just stop at ONE circle shaped card. I made another and even turned this one into an easel card!

It's really simple to do:

• Cut the card base with the fold slightly inside the largest Circle framelit so the folded edge stays intact. 
• Fold the card front in half in towards itself, making an 'easel' base. 
• Cut an additional Circle with the same size framelit, but just one full layer. 
• Glue the fully round card stock piece to the bottom half of the folded card base front - this creates your 'artwork' for the easel stand.
• Be sure to decorate your card front piece before gluing on the card base.

Happy Leftovers Day!
LOL!

Good morning stampy peeps - I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving Day yesterday. Ours was cozy and quiet, just the way I like it! 

For the rest of the month, I'll be sharing some Christmas-y projects, mostly with the Joyful Season stamp set. It's one of my personal faves from the Holiday Catalog and I've created a ton of things with it. 
Did you order yours yet? It's not being carried over, so get it while you still can - it's truly an awesome set.   

Here's today's card project:

A few weeks ago, I was playing around and wanted to make a shaped card, I even did a Periscope Broadcast to show how I'd made it. These are so fun and easy, but they look crazy hard. Don't you love that?

These are the items that I'm most sad to see go - all of them are perfect complements to what's already in your crafting toolboxes! 

Here's a cute tag/bag project I created for all of my downline team that attended the Baltimore OnStage event this past Saturday. 

It uses the Joyful Season stamp set along with the Festival of Trees and Lots of Labels Framelits. The Vintage Button is threaded with the Silver Cording Trim. 

An adorable tag! 

**Two things to note:

• All stamp sets will be produced up until December 28th, after that, they are while supplies last.
• All Accessory items (anything else on the list) are WHILE SUPPLIES LAST as of now. So, really, don't delay if there are things you want. 

Have a wonderful day my friends - go create something fun! 

Christmas Tiny Treat Box

I didn't set out to create a Christmas project yesterday - really I didn't. 

It was one of those yukky days - rainy, cloudy - HUMID - and a huge storm came through that made me feel like one of the three little pigs when the wind blew around the house. 

I was trying to get a Periscope live broadcast going and the crazy weather was interrupting my plans - especially with the lighting. 

I've got great natural light in the studio, but when it's dreary outside you can forget it! 

So, I sat down to play at my crafting table - remind me to show it to you some time, btw - and I was messing around with doing something different with the Woodlands Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 

I've got a big package of the Tiny Treat Boxes and I thought it would be pretty cool if I could emboss those with that amazing folder. 

And whaddya know - it worked! 

Here's one of the pics: 

I had to tear the box apart to get it flat inside the embossing folder, but it worked out GREAT! 

It was completely embossed in just two passes through the Big Shot. Very cool. 

I used the Fast Fuse Adhesive to glue it back again  - best choice! That stuff sticks! 

So, after rubbing a little Soft Suede ink on the embossed box with a Stampin' Sponge, I was like, HOW am I going to decorate this little cutie??

I glanced around at the mess serendipity pile on my stamp table, I found this stamped greeting, a scrap of red glimmer paper, a few inches of Natural Chevron ribbon and my Stampin' Stapler. 

A rather eclectic grouping of supplies, but I love to mix textures and colors so I just decided to play.

I used my Note Tag Punch to punch the Red Glimmer paper scrap, flagged the ends of the ribbon with my Craft Scissors and then stapled the stamped greeting to them in a pile of layers. The greeting is from the Joyful Season stamp set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow. 

To finish it off, I added a Gold Basic Metal Button with a Glue Dot and tied it to the box with some Gold Cording, baker's box style. 

Super easy and super cute!
