Merry Christmas Wishes - just a tad early!

Sharing a beautiful and elegant card we made at one of my Christmas card classes.  I just love the look of this deer cut out of our foil papers.  For this card we used some DSP from last year's catalog - but everything else is current. 
The inside is just as cute - with a wonderful sentiment - and that cute little green bow!

Couple more months of Christmas card classes and should be good to go - lol!
Before you know it - it will be time to send all these cuties out in the mail.
Stop back soon for more creations!! ~Maureen

Thanksgiving 3-Nugget Container

So today I'm sharing the final project we made at Club this month - it's a cute little nugget holder - that I thought would be perfect to put at each place setting for Thanksgiving.  You could substitute the guest's name for the "for YOU" sentiment. 

We used the Paisley and Posies Designer Series Paper as well as the Framelits to cut out the flourish for on top.

Here is a photo of the design to make this.  The Solid lines are scored, the lined sections are cut out, and the top little flap was corner rounded for a more finished look.  The size of DSP  you need is 5" x 5.25".  The Vertical score lines are at (from left to right) 1/2", 1", 4" and 4 1/2".  The horizontal score lines are at (from bottom to top) 1/2", 2 3/8", 2 7/8" and 4 3/4".  I scored everything first, then cut out the sections indicated, corner rounded my top flap and folded together and secured it.
Here you can see the little box open - and the decorated nuggets inside.
Such a cute little treat for your guests at Thanksgiving - or any day.

Off to do more creating :)   ~Maureen

Christmas in May - Peace Card

I always LOVE my monthly Christmas Card class - it's popular - and happy - and it gets us all ahead of the game by making are cards for Christmas as we go.  Each month features two different cards - and attendees make two of each.  So here is Card #1 from my May class -
We used the Bird Builder punch which is being discontinued after this month - and I am sad about that.  It is so versatile - just look at this beautiful dove. We ran the blue layer through the Big Shot with a stars folder - used the Christmas Greetings Thinlits for the peace - and a little twine and bling to finish.
Above is the inside of the card with an appropriate verse from the Reason for the Season set.  You can see the dimensionals from the side - showing some real raised texture to this card - can also see below how things are raised up.
Fun, beautiful, elegant card!  ~Maureen
