We made this as a special extra workshop.  It took some time, but it wasn’t difficult.  And the results were really amazing!  As a special extra we made a matching box to store this ornament.  Worth the work!

I always say every picture in every catalog is an idea to copy or to use it as a springboard.  They used to call the annual catalog the Idea Book.  I think they should bring that back.  Thanks for the idea, Stampin’ Up!

This is not my usual style, but I liked the soft vintage feel of this card.  We Natural Composition Designer Series Paper comes embossed and we just colored it in with soft watercolor pencils.  The punched bird fits right in, the Scalloped Tulle Ribbon adds softness, and the Vintage Faceted button adds a touch of bling.  I used it as a Thank You card, but it certainly can be used as a birthday, wedding, or even sympathy card.

These treat bags were made with the Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit.  But I’m not really much into ghouls so we used the googlie eyes on owls we “built” with the Owl Builder Punch  I think he looks much better decorating this treat bag.

 

Step It Up:  I also suggested running the bags through the Big Shot in an embossing folder.  It works great!
