The post Fall Flip Card appeared first on The Stampin' Room.

Take a look and see what I mean.
Those negative images can be used in creative ways. I made something fun today that I’d like to share. (Thank you to paulinespapier for the inspiration.) I find it hard to use the yellow tones some days, but I’m really happy how this turned out! The card is actually a flip card with 3 separate layers.
Each layer shows all three colors in the color combo I chose – Bumblebee (a new InColor), Smoky Slate, and the yellow/orange tones in the amazing Plaid Tidings DSP pack.
I was going to punch two holes in the top, but I’m glad I stopped myself! This way is waaayyy cuter!! I simply ran a 16″ piece of linen thread through the last layer and tied a knot at the top. Now the recipient can have the option of hanging this card on a door knob or hook
Of course a pretty card deserves a pretty package so I made a pocket from one of our medium Whisper White envelopes. I simply slit one end of it open first and then sealed the envelope. Now it becomes a pocket. It looked a bit too plain for my liking so I ran it through my new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine (which I absolutely LOVE!!) with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder.
There are a few more details I added to complete this project. I am going to try and do a short video in the next couple of days showing how I made these projects. So you can check back later.

Stampin’ Up! has these really great Acetate Card Boxes this holiday season. They are clear card boxes that neatly and safely store your finished cards. Each box holds 5 standard cards plus envelopes and you get 10 boxes in a package.
What other things can you put there besides cards? Hmmm…the themes are endless.

We wrapped Ghirardelli Chocolates and decorated the box like this!
(Original idea from Patti Bennett.)
And 9 rolled wafers fit in one box. (I buy the Pirouline Chocolate Hazelnut Wafers in a big cannister from Costco.) Don’t they look yummy?!
We also sell these adorable treat tubes…
8 of them fit sideways in the Acetate Box. How fun is that?
#144628 Acetate Card Boxes  $8.50 (10 boxes)
#144612 Treat Tubes $6.50 (12 plastic tubes and cork stoppers)

#2
This is probably the most inexpensive, yet very practical, gift you can give this year. It is a small notebook made from 1 piece of Designer Series Paper and a few sheets of photocopy paper. That’s it!
You can use your favorite papers to create a million different notebooks. Simply fold each piece in half and use your bone folder to make it really nice and flat.

Here are the measurements for this one, but you can make them any size you want. Just make sure that the photocopy paper is about 1/8″ smaller than your cover.
Cover: 8-1/2″ x 8-1/4″
Photocopy Paper: 5 pieces cut at 8-3/8″ x 8-1/8″

Decorate the front however you like. I just love this saying from the Just Add Text stamp set (#143931) in the Annual Catalogue. I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits…which I also love!

Remember the Designer Series Paper Sale ends October 31st…Buy 3 get 1 free! You might need to stock up if you are going to make some fun notebooks.

If you are placing an online order this weekend, please use Hostess Code F3F76PWZ when you check out. You can place your order HERE.

Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for stopping by!

I also want to remind you that the new Eastern Palace Suite is available right now.
Item #147207 will get you all of this:
By purchasing it now, you get your hands on 3 of the new In Colors even before June 1st!! You will also receive 2 FREE items when you purchase this bundle…a package of medium Very Vanilla Envelopes, and a package of our new Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock.

The thinlits are so amazing. We’ve never carried anything like them before. They partially cut, so the flowers look 3d:) And the gold vinyl stickers…stunning! I made a bag with pullout note using the coordinating Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Paper and the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.  The colors are so rich and beautiful. I think you will really love them.

The post Simply Beautiful Card Class appeared first on The Stampin' Room.

CRAFTY women are thinking one step further though about cute packaging for those treats for family members or co-workers. I’m here to tell you that the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits are always the perfect solution…anytime, anywhere, any occasion. And you’re in luck. They are part of the Weekly Deals this week!!

So I thought I’d give you a little inspiration. I created a few treat bags this morning using product from the Love Blossoms suite. Take a look.
The treat bags were cut out of the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack and then embellished using primarily the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit.
For this one, I flipped the gold foil heart over and sponged the reverse side with crumb cake ink to give it a softer look.

I LOVE the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit. It includes pearl trim, satin ribbon, paper clips with pre-tied bows, sequins, wood veneer pieces, enamel glitter dots, and foil heart doilies.

I hope you are inspired now to purchase these this Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. You’ll be happy you did.

**Please note that the Mini Treat Bag Framelits are on sale for $36.75 and the Gold 1/8″ Ribbon is on sale for $4.69**

 The other thing that makes this girl happy is COFFEE. I have a few friends who happen to share this love of mine…so I packaged up these cute mugs to thank them for helping out with our team birthday event on the weekend. How cute are these?
I found these plastic tubes at a craft store in the states this past summer, and mini oreo cookies fit perfectly inside. To dress up the tea lights, I just wrapped washi tape around them. Love how easy washi tape is! Happy Heart Month everyone!
