Last week was not my best week for blogging! I did write a blog post for Wednesday which announced my Online Card Class but it didn’t go out to all my subscribers until Thursday due to a problem with the program that sends out the emails. I was able to figure out pretty quickly what the problem was able to fix it. Then I was planning for another post on Friday only to find out that I couldn’t access all my photos because I had upgraded the operating systems on both my Mac desktop and laptop computer and it took quite some time to catalog thousands of pictures (yikes)!! What can you do when technology fails you? Not much!!
Today was supposed to be the last day to order my October Online Card Class, but because it was delayed a day, I’m extending it until tomorrow. All the other deadlines will stay the same but you’ll have until tomorrow to place a $50 or more order using the host code EPZEKZXJ to receive my FREE online card class. For more details, please click here.
You can now sign up for the November Paper Pumpkin kit! This kit will include 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs. Every Paper Pumpkin kit includes everything you’ll need to create the crafty goodness inside! Plus you’ll be able to access a video showing how to put the cards or in this case, gift tags, together. If you decide you love the kits, do nothing and you’ll keep receiving Paper Pumpkin. You can cancel at any time or even skip a shipment!
The colors in the November kit are: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce.

Bundle Alert: If you are interested in purchasing both the stamp set, Snowman Season and the coordinating Snowman Builder Punch, be sure to use the item #152337 and you’ll save 10%. If you purchase them separately, you won’t save 10%. Click here to see the Snowman Season Bundle. Please note: I will be punching the snowman and hat for you using the Snowman Builder Punch, but you’ll need to stamp onto that small area. If you have the punch, it will be much easier.

Today I have an easy card featuring Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog but first, I have a winner to announce! On Friday I offered Blog Candy (a make n take packet) for the project I shared. Thanks so much to everyone who left a comment! The random name drawn was Lesa! Congratulations, Lesa!!!! (I will contact Lesa but if I don’t hear back from her within 24 hours, I will draw another name on Tuesday).
I combined several new products from the Holiday Catalog to create today’s card. The base of the card is Real Red. The next layer is also Real Red and I placed it inside the Hammered Metal embossing folder using my die-cutting machine. Then I added a piece of Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper on the lower half of the Real Red. Before adhering it to the base, I wrapped the elegant Shaded Spruce/Gold 3/8″ Ribbon around the cardstock/Designer Series Paper and tied a bow. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before adhering it to the base.
For the sentiment, I used the stamp set Perfectly Plaid and stamped it in Shaded Spruce onto Whisper White cardstock. It was cut out using the Merry Christmas Dies. All the products I used can be found in the supply list below!

It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop and this month we’re sharing treat holders!
My treat holder fits a pack of gum, perfectly! This is a project I’ve shared before but when you use brand new paper (I used Monster Bash Designer Series Paper), it becomes new again! Three months ago I joined Weight Watchers so I knew my treat holder couldn’t have chocolate in it (I LOVE chocolate) so I opted for a delicious pack of gum!
This little treat holder couldn’t be easier to make! You’ll need to do a little scoring and a little cutting and that’s it. It comes together really quickly! I don’t have a new video today creating my project using Monster Bash Designer Series Paper but I do have a video I made last year that will demonstrate how to make the holder and all the measurements (please note: the Designer Series Paper and stamp set used in the video are no longer available). You can find the video farther down in this post.
I used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie cardstock to create the holder. A strong adhesive is needed to assemble the box so I used Tear & Tape. There’s a little flap on the front of the box that is held closed with Glittered Organdy Ribbon. The sentiment sits on Silver Glimmer Paper and both were cut out using our Layering Circle Dies. Sometimes it can be tricky getting things to stick to glimmer paper so I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue. To attach the glimmer paper and sentiment to the box, I added more liquid glue to the upper half of the circle. Our Every Season Punch Pack has a cute little bat that I cut out using Basic Black cardstock and adhered with a glue dot (you could use the glue again but the dot fits perfectly). I used Snail adhesive to attach the Monster Mash Designer Series Paper to the holder but again, you could use liquid glue.
This is the gum I used!
Blog Candy
Leave a comment today to be entered to win my blog candy! I’ll send one person all the paper and embellishments needed to create today’s project (you’ll need to supply your own stamp set, ink and adhesive). I’m sorry but I can only send to a U.S.A. address but all comments are welcome! The winner will be announced on Monday right here on my blog. If your name is drawn, you’ll be asked to email me your address. If I don’t receive a reply within 24 hours, I’ll draw an alternate winner who will be announced on Tuesday.
