Here’s another idea for last minute treats!
Take a 3 1/4″ cardstock square, and score at 3/4″ and 1 1/8″ on opposite sides. Wrap around a small Hershey bar, secure with glue and decorate as desired.
Here’s the fixin’s:
If you need last minute treats for your class or office, this is the perfect thing for you!
These Mini Curvy Keepsake boxes go together with NO ADHESIVE….. just cut, fold, slip the slots over the handles and embellish as desired!
And, if you like that mini pinecone, our new property has a tree that produces those! Our new house will be built “around” this tree! LOL
Here’s the fixin’s:
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.

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:
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!
I love it when I can recycle or up-cycle everyday items that are normally thrown in the trash!
At Stamp Club this month, I asked everyone to bring an empty toilet paper roll. We used them to make these little hanging gift baskets. Aren’t they just the cutest?
We used the Gingham Gala paper from the Occasions Catalog. This paper is on the retiring list, so if you don’t have it, get it quick! I love this paper. It comes in five colors, including Lemon Lime Twist, which we didn’t use for this project. It has larger checks on one side and smaller checks on the other side. I used the side with larger squares for this project.
After covering the tube with paper, we squeezed the bottom flat and stapled it, then covered the staples with “ribbon” made from matching cardstock and the ribbon border punch.
Stay tuned for cards made with the leftover paper!
I know it’s early to be posting Easter projects, but I want to show you this cute basket now, in case you’d like to make some of your own.
This basket is made with Crumb Cake cardstock and the Basket Weave and Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folders (TIEF). And, isn’t this just the cutest little bunny ever?!

With the help of a lovely group of ladies, we support our local Veterans Retirement Home. One of the things we do is provide “Welcome to the Neighborhood” cards. If you missed my earlier post on these, you can find it here.
In addition to the welcome cards, we decorate boxes that are stuffed with slipper socks, those socks with non-stick bottoms like they provide for you in the hospital. I have several generous friends who donated the money to purchase the socks.
Last week, we delivered 70 boxes of these socks to the VA Center.
A good friend of mine, Janet, helped me get these together. The boxes were donated by another friend, Nancy, who saved them from the trash at an event she attended. What a great upcycle!!
If you’re looking for a good cause to support, please consider your local Veterans Center.
Thanks for visiting today.
Who likes FREE stuff? I know I do!! During Sale-a-bration, you can get the Tea Time Framelits dies FREE with a $100 order.
We made this tea pouch using the dies and the coordinating Tea Together stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. I love the options with this stamp set. The images are open, so you can leave them plain, stamp flowers on them, or do like I did and take the easy way out. I stamped on some of our beautiful DSP, so I didn’t have to color anything.
The pouch is made using a 6 x 6 square of So Saffron cardstock and the Envelope Punch Board. Although it’s hard to see, the pouch is randomly stamped in So Saffron with the doilies from the Dear Doily set.
The teacup and die cut doily are attached to a ribbon that slides, so that the pouch may be opened without damage, so it’s reusable.
Stamps: Tea Together, Dear Doily
Cardstock: So Saffron, Night of Navy, Whisper White
Ink: So Saffron, Night of Navy
Paper: Garden Impressions 6×6 DSP
Dies/Punches: Tea Time Framelits, Doily Builder Thinlits, 1” Circle Punch, 1/8” Circle Punch
Other: Envelope Punch Board, Night of Navy Bakers Twine, 3/8” Calypso Coral Satin Ribbon
