Who Wants a Kiss?

Yesterday, I showed you another great idea for using Stampin' Up!'s Hugs - Sending Love Notes (item #118778).

So, today, I wanted to share with you a fun and easy way to use the new Kisses - Sending Love Notes (item #118779, coordinating glassine envelopes item #117226).

These little kisses are incredibly adorable and great to use on their own.  But you can also use them as an embellishment on a card.

Using the clear mount, I {heart} Hearts stamp set, I inked up the friend image in Real Red (one of my favorite colors).  I inserted the Kiss into it's matching glassine envelope and simply adhered it to the front of my card with 2 stampin' dimensionals.

TIP:  Make the recipient of your card feel extra special.  Include a little love note on the back of your kiss as well as writing a little something on the inside of your card. 

Don't forget - for every I {heart} Hearts stamp set sold, $2.00 goes to the Haiti Disaster Relief Fund.

I wanted to share some more quick, last minute gifts for the holiday season.  Last night I was wrapping all of our Christmas gifts for family... I wanted to add something small to a few people's packages. 

I remembered I had these great skinny silver tins that I bought for 99 cents each in the clearance rack.

Lightbulb moment!!  I stared at the tremendous amount of holiday candy I bought and decided to create custom made chocolate gifts.

Here they are ... which one is your favorite?  Mine is the very last one - love the bling!

I started off my project by making this pretty Night & Day Designer Paper bow.  Following this easy tutorial from splitcoastampers, I quickly completed this black & white bow.

As some of you may know, I am a designer paper hoarder.  These bows are a great project to help me actually USE my paper.  Perfect timing with my son's birthday and Christmas just around the corner.

Click to enlarge the top or bottom photo - do you see the little row of clear rhinestones on the top box?  I love that detail, I simply poked holes using my paper piercing tool and inserted a small clear rhinestone.

I'm very happy with the way this "Anything But a Card" project turned out.

Hope you like it too!

Pals Paper Arts (PPA5)

Challenge number 5 is up and ready at Pals Paper Arts. 

So, are YOU ready to join us and say "I Love to Play @ PPA"?

The rules are simple:

• Create with the Halloween theme in mind
• Upload your card to Pals Paper Arts by Tuesday, September 1 (Noon CST)
• If you upload to an online gallery, enter PPA5 in the keyword section
• Most importantly ... play, play, play!

I went non-traditional with my Halloween sample for this weeks challenge.  I am loving the color combination of Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black. 

If you look closely enough you'll see that I used a fun polka dotted window sheet on top of my sentiment.  It is secured by four silver Stampin' Up! brads (one in each corner). 

These window sheets come from the soon-to-be-released Night & Day Specialty Paper.  You'll find this designer paper in the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog.  It is one of my favorite Stampin' Up! paper collections to date.  Think black, white and oh so elegant ... and is not limited to use for Halloween.  You'll see what I mean when the catalog is released September 1, 2009!

My Bat is perched atop two white circle aluminum tags (2" and 1 1/2").  This image is  from Batty For You... a perfect set to use with your circle punches.  

Each spooky image fits perfectly in a 1 1/4" circle or punch out most images alone using your 1" circle punch.
