For this sour cream pouch, I used a 6"x 6" piece of black polka dot printed window sheet from the Night & Day Specialty Paper. I finished it off with a tag stamped with "Twick or Tweet" stamp set in Basic Black, layered on Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black Card Stock, and tied on with Pumpkin Striped Grosgrain & Black Gingham ribbon!! You can fill it with your favorite candy!!

"Daisy Tin"

A little break from holiday stampin', yeah!! I love this Daisy Sizzix die,
and daisies and polka dots always go together!! With very little stamping, this project went together very quick, which is always a great thing!!

Christmas Ornament

Have you ever seen those clear glass ornaments in the store and wondered what to do with them?
Me to, Then I came across this fun idea!
The only supplies you need are a Stampin' Up! Classic Refill, Dazzling Diamonds and your favorite ribbon! I added a stamped image on the front that I embossed. Rub-ons would be much easier!! This was a quick project, and so fun! I will be making a lot of these!!

"Remember" Notepad Easel

If you want to make a quick and easy gift, this is always a great one!! You can use any Designer Series Paper and matching ribbon. I like to place my project on an easel, but you can also put strong magnets on the back to place it on a refrigerator or another fun idea is to put jumbo eyelets in the corners to hang it from a wall in your office!
