I saw this card at a regional convention and had to try it.  Score across the Scallop Square at matching scallops, a couple of snips and a bit of tape and you have a cute little box.  Then of course we made the mini cards to go inside.  The Diagonal Plate on the Simply Scored made it easy to make the matching envelopes.  Great for a hostess gift.

This ornament looks difficult and complicated.  It’s not.  Cut 4 or more pieces of card stock with the Lattice Die.  Fold on the diagonal, add some Baker’s Twine, and glue together.  Hang it on your tree.  Done!

Step it up with Silver Glimmer Paper, Rhinestones, or other embellishments if you like.

The cookies was decorated with the Simply Pressed stamp.  I dropped the cookies into cellophane bags, added a topper cut with the Top Note Die, added a little stamping and an embellishment of one piece punched from Silver Glimmer Paper and one punched from matching card stock.  Done!

When I brought some to a bake sale they all sold quickly and everyone told me how wonderful they looked.

I love this little pumpkin!  Sometimes I add a battery votive candle. The one on the left looks lacy because of the border punch I used.  They both have leaves made with the 5-Petal Punch, but you can make these without any special tools if you don’t mind cutting simple leaves free-hand.

I can decorate my home with them from October through November, then it folds flat for storage until next year.

I couldn’t wait to try this.  I bought a flat porcelain ornament from my local hobby store.  Then I stamped and embosses with Wild Wasabi and Pewter.  It made wonderful gifts!  I kept one for our tree.  Love it!
