Beautiful Friendship Sympathy
Although I love to make cards, making a Sympathy card is always hard. When I do have to make one, I spend the time thinking about the recipient and praying that God will comfort them.
This card was made for my good friend, Jessica, who recently lost her husband. It was an unexpected loss, and my heart goes out to her.
Inside:
No one is more supportive than a group of stampers, and this card was from all of us.

The ribbon was from a previous catalog and is no longer available.

Perfectly Plaid Note Card
One of my favorite bundles in the Holiday Catalog is Perfectly Plaid. Why? Because I LOVE punches. Don’t get me wrong, I love my dies, but punches are just so easy and quick to use!
I made this card as a demonstration at a recent party. One of the Make-n-Takes for the party was a pumpkin card, using the same design. If you missed it, you can take a look here.
This is one of my GOTO designs when I need a card in a hurry. It works with any stamp set! And, using the note cards and envelopes (which are pre-cut and scored) help you create a great card even faster! This would make a cute Christmas card and you could whip out a bunch of these in no time!
Here’s the fixin’s:
Gather Together
With November just around the corner, I think more often about all the things I’m thankful for. I am SO BLESSED to have a good husband and the 3 Fs (family, friends, and furbabies).
In Steve’s family, the holiday get togethers are “farmed out”, and Thanksgiving is “our” holiday. We can have 25-30 people over, and we gather in my studio, which means I have to collect my craft supplies and store them in another area to make room for everyone to eat together. It’s a lot of work, but my craft studio is fairly large, so it’s the only time of the year that we can all actually sit down in the same room.
Fall is my favorite season. I love the cooler weather and the beautiful colors. Although they aren’t traditional, I really like the colors in the Come To Gather Suite in the Holiday Catalog. We made this card at October Stamp Club.

Harvest Hello Note Cards
I love having Stampin’ Up! Parties! And some of my friends (like LaAnna), have discovered the secret to getting a LOT of FREE stuff!
LaAnna is a member of my Stamp Club, so when it’s her month as host, she will have at least a $150 party (and usually more) as part of Club. If she has an outside party, and invites her friends and neighbors, any orders are added to her club orders, so she earns extra FREE stuff.
This option is available to all of my club members, but not many take advantage of it. And, they can have the party in my studio, so they don’t have to do anything except bring snacks!
At LaAnna’s outside party, we had two Make-n-Takes. The first one was the treat box from September’s Paper Pumpkin kit. The second was this cute little note card.
I like using the note cards for Make-n-Takes because they are already pre-cut and scored, and come with an envelope.
Here’s the fixin’s:
Paper Pumpkin Halloween!
If you’ve never had a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you might want to think about trying one.
Paper Pumpkin is a red box that comes directly to your mailbox and contains everything you need to make the project of the month!
The September Paper Pumpkin kit made 20 of these cute little treat boxes….. ten each of two designs. Just big enough for two or three of the chocolate minis, it would make a great treat for a classroom of children or a group of co-workers.
Click on the Paper Pumpkin link to sign up! Be sure to sign up before the 10th of the month, to get that month’s kit.
Harvest Hellos Treat
I am in love with the Harvest Hellos bundle! And, it seems that everyone else is, too!
I came up with this cute little treat box using the pumpkins and a simple 3″ x 3″ square scored at 1″ and 2″ both ways, cut and folded into a 1″ box which will hold a Hershey Kiss or a Mini. After I finished mine, I saw several of these, almost identical, done by other demos! I couldn’t believe it.
We made these at Stamp Club and each person had the option to add a Jack-o-lantern face. I hope you like them!
Here are the fixin’s:
Wicked!!
Sometimes you just need to make something a little different! I love making small pieces of art to decorate my home, or gift to a friend.
We made this little work of art in Stamp Club using the Wonderfully Wicked bundle. And look closely! That cat has rhinestone eyes!
Here are the fixin’s!
Boo! Coffin Treat Box
If you’re looking for a cute and quick treat for those Special Halloween tricksters, Stampin’ Up! has just what you need! These coffin boxes are pre-cut and pre-scored, making them quick and easy to assemble. In fact, I assembled 24 of these boxes Saturday afternoon for my friend Janet’s elementary class.
We made this one in Stamp Club last month, and we embossed the lid with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder before assembling them.
The tag is from the Tags Tags Tags Bundle. The best thing about this bundle is that there are 3 tags on each stamp and the die cuts them all at once! There is a set of tags for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day, so lots of options with one set.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Here’s the fixin’s:
