Time for Thanks

These quick & easy thank you notes were made with left over 3 1/2" square Candy Cane Christmas DSP scraps.  The wavy DSP on the bottom was cut using the Big Shot with the Tasteful Trim die.  The sentiment if from the Occasional Quotes level 3 hostess set and then punched with the large oval punch. 

Ghiradelli Chocolate Holder

This idea came from Jill Hilliard, such an easy treat holder!  This was also a great use for our leftover scraps of Candy Cane DSP (which is unfortunately sold out).  As you can see, we tried a it a couple of different ways using each side of the paper, tilting the sentiment and spacing the ribbon holes differently.  The measurement is so easy and you can get 3 of them out of an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock, and save time by scoring the full sheet first.  Cut the full sheet into 9" x 8", score along the 8" side at 3 7/8" and 4 1/8", then cut on the 9" side into three 3" pieces.  The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.

Candy Cane Christmas Album

We are so very grateful for the friendships that have formed as a result of sharing our love of stamping and paper crafts with others!  We asked our wonderful and creative friend Judy if she would be willing to share her talents with us and others by creating a class using our Candy Cane Christmas specialty designer series paper and matching 8"x8" album.  She was thrilled to be given the opportunity, so we are so excited to show the photos of her creation!  She will be our guest instructor for this class, which will be held on Sunday, December 5th at 1 p.m. at Scot's house.  The cost is $40 and includes the album, a complete package of the Candy Cane Christmas specialty designer series paper, and the coordinating embellishments - big buttons, glimmer brads, and ribbon.  If you live outside Las Vegas or are unable to attend in person but are interested in a kit, the cost is $50 + shipping.
