Birthday Treat
I had another play with the Little Treats stamp set and the Stamparatus. This card is 10.5cm square, which is not the usual card size I would create, however, it is a good size to work with to create a wreath. So, I used the Stamparatus and a wreath template I created long ago to stamp the bon-bon image using Pacific Point ink. I attached the stamped panel to scored and folded Pacific Point card. 
I stamped the greeting from the Little Treats stamp set onto Whisper White card using Pacific Point ink and cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. The greeting is attached to a scalloped circle cut from Pacific Point card. 
The greeting panel is attached to the centre of the wreath on the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside of the card, I used the Stamparatus to do some hinged stamping across the bottom of Whisper White card using the bon-bon image from the Little Treats stamp set and Pacific Point ink.
Since I was using the Little Treats stamp set, I decided to create a co-ordinating treat box using the Little Treat Box Dies. I cut the box from Whisper White card. This box doesn’t really need the addition of glue to assemble it. You just fold on all the score lines and insert the tab into the slit to create the box. 
I did add some adhesive to the inside of the front and back just because I wanted it to be a little straighter. I stamped the bon-bon image from the Little Treats stamp set onto scrap Whisper White card using Pacific Point ink and cut it out using one of the Layering Circle Dies. I also stamped “it’s your day” from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set onto scrap Whisper White card using Pacific Point ink. The greeting is cut out using the same die from the Layering Circle Dies. I cut Pacific Point card twice using the circle die from the Little Treat Box Dies and attached a stamped panel to the centre of each one. I attached one image panel to each side of the treat box. I used a length of Silver 3/8″ Metallic Edge Ribbon to hold the top of the box together.
Isn’t this just adorable? Such a fun way to celebrate a birthday.

Little Treats
Yesterday on my Facebook Live, I shared a card and a treat box made using the Little Treats Bundle. Today I have a couple of cards using this same bundle to share. The first card has a piece of the ‘Tis The Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper attached to Gold Foil card, which is added to the right hand side of Whisper White card. I added a strip of Gold Foil card down the left hand side of the Designer Series Paper panel before attaching the Whisper White card to scored and folded Shaded Spruce card. I stamped the parcel image from the Little Treats stamp set twice onto Whisper White card using Shaded Spruce ink. 
I also stamped the Santa hat image from the Little Treat stamp set onto Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler ink. All of the images are cut out using the Layering Squares Dies. I also cut three scalloped squares from Gold Foil card using the same dies. I attached each of the images to a Gold Foil scalloped square and then the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Little Treats stamp set onto Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler ink.
I attached a narrow strip of Gold Foil card behind one long edge of the same paper from the ‘Tis The Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The designer series paper panel is attached to the bottom of the stamped Whisper White card.
For the second card, I stamped the greeting from the Little Treats stamp set onto Whisper White card using Cherry Cobbler ink before embossing the panel using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
I attached a narrow strip of Gold Foil card behind one long edge of the same pattern paper from the ‘Tis The Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The designer series paper panel is attached to the bottom of the stamped and embossed Whisper White card before attaching to scored and folded Shaded Spruce card. The present image and the Santa hat image are once more stamped onto Whisper White card using Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler ink. The images are cut out using the Layering Square Dies and attached to Gold Foil scalloped squares cut using the same dies. The images are attached to the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside of this card, I attached a narrow strip of Gold Foil behind one long edge of the ‘Tis The Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The panel is attached to the bottom of Whisper White card.
I love how these cards turned out, don’t you? This is such a fun stamp set which lends itself to more than just Christmas.

Warm & Toasty
Have you seen this fun stamp set in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue. It can be found on 42. Don’t have a catalogue or a demonstrator then please contact me so we can organise to get a catalogue to you. 
I attached a piece of ‘Tis The Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Whisper White card before stamping the greeting from the Warm & Toasty stamp set onto the upper right hand corner using Cherry Cobbler ink. I coloured a length of Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon using the dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blend and when it was dry tied a knot and attached it across the top of the Designer Series Paper. 
The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Shaded Spruce card. I stamped the reindeer image from the Warm & Toasty stamp set onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it using the Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image using Layering Ovals Dies and attached it to a Cherry Cobbler scalloped oval cut using the same dies. The image panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside I stamped the greeting from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set using Real Red ink.
This is truly a lovely stamp set to use for Christmas cards for your younger family members and friends. I’d love to hear what you think.

Manly Thanks
I needed to make a couple of Thank You cards for my Dad’s two doctors and couldn’t go past the Sailing Home stamp set. I embossed Whisper White card using the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder and attached a piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper across the bottom. The panel is attached to scored and folded Night of Navy card. 
I stamped the lighthouse image from the Sailing Home stamp set onto Whisper White card using Night of Navy ink. I added the greeting from the same stamp set using Night of Navy ink and cut out the panel using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. 
I cut another label from Night of Navy card and attached the image panel. The whole piece is attached to the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a thin strip of Night of Navy card behind one long edge of Whisper White card embossed using the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder. The panel is attached to the bottom of Whisper White card before I stamped the sailing ship image from the Sailing Home stamp set using Night of Navy ink.
I hope the doctors receiving these love them as much as I do and maybe it will inspire them to take time for themselves as well as looking after their patients.

More Toowoomba
We had a lovely time exploring Toowoomba when we visited in the July school holidays. The pictures on today’s pages show off our visit to the Cobb & Co Museum and the Downsteam Train Museum, both amazing places! I used Very Vanilla 12″ x 12″ card for the base for each page. On the first page, I added the photos to the right hand side and then attached a strip of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. 
One photo is mounted onto Balmy Blue card which is embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I cut Night of Navy card using the edge die in the Be Mine Stitched Dies and attached it behind the left hand side of the photo panel. I also embossed a piece of Early Espresso card using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. The photo panel is attached over the embossed Early Espresso card. 
I cut a heart from Whisper White card using the Be Mine Stitched Dies. I used the die cuts from the Flowers For Every Season Memories and More cards to create the title. I simply cut the “to” from the “today” die cut. The second page has a piece of the same In Good Taste Designer Series Paper attached down the left hand side. The strips of Early Espresso card are again embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and the hearts are cut from Whisper White and Balmy Blue card using the Be Mine Stitched Dies. I created the journaling on the computer and printed onto Very Vanilla card. I cut the journaling using the Layering Square Dies, attached it to a Night of Navy scalloped square cut using the same dies before adding it to the page. Such happy memories.
I hope you like today’s pages.

Plush Poinsettia
I have already shared a card using the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper where I cut pieces from the paper and added them to my card. However today I am CASing a project from page 16 of the August to December Mini Catalogue and using this Paper as my background. I cut a piece of the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper and attached it to scored and folded Garden Green card. I stamped the smaller single leaf image from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set onto Garden Green card using Garden Green ink.
I also stamped the three layering flowers onto Real Red card using Real Red ink. I cut out all of the pieces using the co-ordinating Poinsettia Dies. I used my bone folder to add a little bit of a curl to each of the flower petals before layering them together. I attached the flower to the card front using dimensionals. 
I tucked the leaves underneath the flower and glued them flat to the card front. I stamped “Merry Christmas” from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set onto Whisper White card using Real Red ink. I attached the greeting to the card front using dimensionals. I also added a Beaded Pearl to the centre of the flower.
I kept the inside of the card simple by stamping a greeting from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set onto Whisper White card using Real Red ink.
I love this card and I love the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper and you have to love the way those Beaded Pearls just add so much to your project! Let me know what you think.

Wishes & Wonder
stamp set is part of the bundle I shared on my Facebook Live yesterday. I bought the Wishes & Wonder stamp set and the co-ordinating North Pole Wonder Dies because I thought they would work well with the In The Pines bundle. So this card uses some product from both suites. I began by embossing Whisper White card using the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder (I love this embossing folder, don’t you?). I cut Old Olive card twice using the same border die from the Pine Wood Dies. I embossed the pieces using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, making sure to reverse one of the pieces first. I attached the die cuts on top of each other across the bottom of the embossed card. I cut one small and two large trees from Old Olive card using the Pine Wood Dies. 
I tucked the large trees under the bottom piece of Old Olive card and the small tree behind the top piece of embossed card. I stamped the reindeer image from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set onto Whisper White card using Soft Suede ink and cut it out using the co-ordinating North Pole Wonder Die. The reindeer is attached to the card front using mini dimensionals under the top part of the reindeer. I stamped the greeting from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set onto Whisper White card using Old Olive ink. I used the co-ordinating North Pole Wonder Die to cut out the image. I cut Soft Suede card using another of the North Pole Wonder Dies and attached the greeting. The whole piece is attached to the top right hand side of the embossed Whisper White card.
The whole Whisper White panel is attached to scored and folded Soft Suede card.
To decorate the inside of the card, I cut Old Olive card using the same border die from the Pine Wood Dies and embossed it using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. The panel is attached across the bottom of Whisper White card. I cut the small tree from Old Olive card using the Pine Wood Die and attached it to the left hand side of the Whisper White card, tucking the tree trunk underneath the embossed card.
I had fun creating this card and know that I will continue to enjoy using these fantastic products.

Flowery Thanks
I am still making thank you cards for the different wards that my Dad has been cared for in St. Vincents Northside. These cards are kind of cased from something I saw on the internet. I embossed Whisper White card using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to scored and folded Bumblebee card. I stamped the floral image from the Four Season Floral stamp set onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Magenta Madness and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends. 
I punched out the image using the Postage Stamp Punch. I used my Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker to ink just the “thank you” from a greeting in the So Sentimental stamp set and stamped onto Whisper White card. I cut out the greeting using the Postage Stamp Punch. I also punched two pieces from the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper using the same punch. 
I attached all of the punched pieces to Bumblebee card before attaching the panel to the card front.
To decorate the inside of this card, I attached a narrow strip of Bumblebee card behind one long edge of Whisper White card which is embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
I loved the way this card looked and since I still needed more cards, I created another one using Just Jade ink and card and a different pattern from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper.
I think they look really pretty, don’t you.

Thank You
Today I am sharing some cards I am making to thank the wonderful staff at St. Vincent’s Northside in Brisbane who have been looking after my Dad after a triple bypass. Everyone we have come in contact with have been just lovely. I thought the floral arrangements in the Jar of Flowers were perfect for thank you cards. I began by stamping the floral images onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The images were coloured using different combinations of Daffodil Delight, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends before being cut out. 
I embossed Whisper White card using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and attached a piece of the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper across the bottom of the embossed card, I wrapped the top of the Designer Series Paper using the Silver Edge Metallic Ribbon before attaching the panel to scored and folded Just Jade card. I attached the image from the Jar of Flowers stamp set to an oval of Whisper White card cut using the Layering Ovals Dies.
I attached the image to a Just Jade scalloped oval cut using the same dies and then the card front using dimensionals. I stamped “Thanks” from the Ornate Thanks stamp set onto Whisper White card using Just Jade ink. I trimmed the image before attached it to the card front. To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of the same Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Whisper White card. I also stamped the greeting from the Ornate Thanks stamp set using Just Jade ink.
I used much the same supplies to complete three more cards using the images from the Jar of Flowers stamp set. I did use a “thank you” from the Beautiful World stamp set on one card and the ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
I just love how beautiful these cards turned out, don’t you.

Celebrate Today
Today’s Memory Keeping Page shows off a photo taken on a visit to Ron’s mother at Evans Head. Sarah had come down from Brisbane to visit us and we spent the day with Mum. It’s a great shot of everyone, four generations in all, which is kind of special, especially now that Mum is no longer with us. I began by attached to 6″ x 4″ cards from the Flowers For Every Season Memories and More Cards to a Whisper 12″ x 12″ page. I embossed a length of Night of Navy card using the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I attached a couple of pieces of the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper to the embossed card as well as a piece of the Very Vanilla 3/8″Scalloped Lace Trim. The panel is attached over the Memories and More cards covering the join in the middle of the page. 
I attached the photo to Whisper White card and then to the page across the embossed panel. I created the journaling on my computer and printed it onto Whisper White card. I cut out the journaling using one of the circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies. The journaling is attached to a Night of Navy scalloped circle cut using the Layering Circles Dies. I attached the journaling panel to the page over the lower right hand corner of the Memories and More cards. I cut the flowers from another piece of the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper and attached them to the card front using Mini Dimensionals. Lastly I added the title using the die cuts from the Flowers For Every Season Memories and More Cards.
This page is probably a little busier than my usual style, lots of patterns and designs but I love how it turned out. What do you think?
