Sending Wishes Your Way

I gave this card to a friend several weeks ago when she was going back to work after a lengthy illness.  I wanted to wish her good luck as she ventured back and let her know that I was thinking of her.

I wish my card had photographed better as it is so sparkly in person but that really isn’t being picked up in the photo.

Here’s how I made the card.  First, I used the Stars Framelits to cut out the star shape on the front of the card.  I cut another star  the next size down out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.  I embossed my sentiment with silver embossing powder using Butterfly Basics from the Occasions catalog.  I used a piece of our Silver Fancy Foil Designer Series Vellum and adhered it to the base of my card by running snail adhesive along the silver stripes so that it wouldn’t be seen.  I popped my Whisper White star piece up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as my Dazzling Diamonds star.   Quick and easy but oh so pretty!  Thanks to Dawn Griffith for this idea!

You’ll find the products I used to make my card below.  You can visit my online store here!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have a great weekend!

Mini Treat Bag Video

Yesterday I showed you several treat bags that I made using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies.  Here’s a video from Stampin’ Up! showing you how to use the die, what comes with it and some fun ideas.

I love the new Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies and it couldn’t be easier to create the mini treat bag using the Thinlits and your Big Shot. You can put treats, a note or a gift card inside.  I love that it will fit (opened up – see the last picture)  inside our medium envelopes!

It comes with 2 dies to make the bag and 10 more dies to add extra details.  I will admit that it has a hefty price tag but you receive so much more than just the die to create the bag.

Here’s another one where I haven’t folded the top of the bag over.
