Treat Bag

I thought I'd share the little treat bags that I made for my 12-Hour Crop on Saturday. 

There are about 3" wide and 4" tall, and you can use your Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to make them.  I also cut the snowflake, snowflake layers, and ticket with the cartridge.  And yes, that is the November stamp of the month (Cherish the Day) stamped on the ticket.  Such a fun, fun stamp set - and you will be seeing a lot of it.  I simply used a marker to faux stitch around the handle and then filled it with some sweets.  So easy!

Holiday Wishes Meets Cherish the Day

I am so sorry that I haven't visited in awhile!  You know life has a way of take hold sometimes, and you just have to go with the flow.  I was putting together some thank you cards to go in orders today, and I decided to make them Christmas cards - because I know everyone is going to need them soon!  With just a little over 6 weeks until Christmas, it is coming fast!

I used the Cherish the Day stamp of the month (I LOVE this versatile year-round set!) and the November Special stamp set Holiday Wishes on these cards.

I loved combining these two sets, and isn't it fun that I've used the same sets but gotten completely different results?  That's why I love stamps and paper - they are just so much fun!  I used only the Holiday Wishes set on the last card:

All tht sparkle makes me so excited for Christmas lights!  I used a mixture of silver and white embossing powder on the die-cuts.  Of course I added prisma glitter, and that is the sparkle you see!

Cherish the Day can be purchased for just $5.00 during the month of November with a $50 purchase.  Holiday Wishes is also only available during November, and in order to qualify for that set you need to purchase $25 in My Acrylix stamps.  These are two sets that you will have so much fun with!  You can click on my monthly newsletter tab or scroll the left sidebar to see images of these two stamp sets.

Some of my time this week has been getting ready for my 12-hour crop on Saturday.  20 wonderful women are coming to this fun getaway!  I am so looking forward to spending time with some of my customers on Saturday!!

Cherish the Day - November Stamp of the Month

It's November 1st, and one of the best things about the 1st of the month is that Close To My Heart introduces a new stamp of the month!  Let me introduce this beautiful 44-piece stamp set, Cherish the Day.

This is a great set because it can be used every single month of the year!  I will show you several examples this month, but I wanted to start with this beautiful card created by my more-than-fabulous and more-than-wonderful upline, Karen.  (You won't be disappointed when you visit her blog!)  I met a goal in my business last month, and I received this beautiful card from her.  I love getting pretty handmade cards in the mail!!

Can you believe how lovely this card is?  I love all the stars, and the detail in this card is amazing!  Karen used her spray pen on this card not only to mist the background, but to color the star.  I also like the touch of liquid glass over the number.  Perfect!

If you are interested in this set, you can purchase it on my website.  During the month of November, you can get this set for $5 with your $50 purchase.  Such a great deal!
