Monter Boo Halloween

Happy Saturday!

It's time for a new

Gem of a Challenge! 

This challenge blog is sponsored by Polkadoodles.

My DT card was created using

Monster Boo Halloween.

I think this little guy is sooo cute!

I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

The papers are from

Boo Halloween Background Printable Paper Bundle.

One of the sentiments from the

Boo Halloween Sentiment Bundle was used.

Enamel dots were added for some embellishment.

Join us for the  challenge.

You'll have a chance to win a great prize!

Three Kings

Hey there!

I have 2 new cards to share using

a new digital stamps set from

Beccy's Place!

Three Kings

When you purchase this digital set you will receive a zip file containing:

- 4 black and white line drawings
- 4 full colour images
- 6 word images / sentiments

This first card was created by using the 3 individual images.

I colored with Prismacolor Pencils, fussy cut and

placed them in front of an inked circle die cut to simulate a night sky.

The sentiment is printed and the star is a sticker.

This second card uses the image of the 3 Kings together.

My background was created by paper piecing a

patterned paper and some gold specialty papers.

I hope you'll check this set out.

I personally think I will be using it for a lot of Christmas cards.

Oh, and be sure to visit the

Beccy's Place Blog.

You'll find lots of inspiration there from Beccy herself

and the other blog contributors.

Note Card Gift Set

Hey there! 

Today I'm over on the 

CutCardStock Creative Blog 

sharing my first project for this month. 

Basis Folded Card Sets are the Monthly Specials for October so

 I thought I would put together a Note Card Gift Set. 

This set includes 6 cards, envelopes and a box.  

For this project I have used 

BASIS 4X6 INCH FOLDED DISCOUNT CARD STOCK DIY CARDS in Natural, 

DCS DISCOUNT CARD STOCK: VANILLA BEAN BROWN,

 CLASSIC CREST NATURAL WHITE CARDSTOCK

I am also using a patterned background card stock, a stamp, brown ink and some twine.

The Vanilla Bean Brown card stock is cut to 5 1/2 x 2 inches.

I cut the patterned card to 4 3/4 x 3 inches.

My stamping is done on the patterned card.

Use a pattern that is minimal for your stamping to stand out.

I folded each of the card bases on the score line.

With the fold on the left side, adhere the brown card stock strips 

about 1/4 inch from the fold.

I used double sided tape.You can use your adhesive of choice.

Twine is wrapped 3 times around the top of the stamped card pieces and tied into a knot.

These pieces are adhered to the center of each card.

And we're done with the note cards!

Now that we have the note cards assembled we need a box to present them in. 

Using the Natural White Classic Crest Card Stock 

cut a piece to 9 1/2 x 8 inches and another piece to 7 3/4 x 6 inches. 

The larger piece is scored at 4 1/4 & 5 1/4 inches on the long side and 1 & 7 inches on the short side. Cut the squares in the center of the outside edges to the 1 inch score line slightly diagonally to form notches.

Take the smaller piece of card stock and score at 4 1/4 & 5 1/4 inches on the long side.

Now we will take the smaller piece and adhere to the inside the back of the larger piece.

I cut a notch with a circle punch into the center of the front edge. 

Then we are ready to adhere the sides together to form the box. 

The corners of the front flap were rounded, which is optional.

We are ready to embellish the box if desired. 

I added a piece of patterned card stock to the flap. 

A decorative brad was also added. 

To hold the flap closed, I added velcro.

All done and ready to slip in the note cards and envelopes.

I hope I've given you some ideas for creating your own Note Card Gift Set. 

The Basis Folded Cards on special at 

CutCardStock this month make it easy to get a great start.
