Gingerbread Punch Art Treat

Growing up as a kid, I loved treats my mom made. However, there where other goodies that I never could resist. When I found these treats again in the grocery aisle, it just brought back childhood memories with my siblings. Whenever we had this at home, we would grab them like chipmunks to a nut and hid them :) Hiding some so we would save some for later. If one finished their share, sorry for you, you can't have mine.

Anyway, I'm talking about Ding Dong's by Hostess! I took a bite and it literally time-warpped me back when I was 10. This was the perfect treat size for my 2-1/2" circle punch #120906. And they're already individually foil-wrapped! That's awesome!



This project was also made in my workshop with Judy and friends last night. It was a fun evening with them and we intend to do it again. I taught them the Designer Tote Box, Santa Matchboxes and these Gingerbread Punch Art Treat. Really pure fun! Judy makes really good mashed potatoes that had cheese and bacon..mmmmmm. Thanks for the dinner Judy. Not to mention the tri-tip and the roast chicken... fantastic.

Supplies Used:
- 2-1/2" circle punch #120906 (for the head)
- Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack #118309 (circle shape for the eyes)
- Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die #120893 (for the head band)
- 1-3/4" Circle punch # 119850 (for the smile)
- Heart to Heart Xl punch #119881 (for the cheeks)
- 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Real Red #109034
- Stamping sponge #101610 (to sponge whisper white ink onto the edges)
- Whisper White Ink Pad #101731 (Craft)

Very easy project for beginner crafters. Your kids would love to make them too :) Make them as ornaments or gift tags and watch your friends in awe.

A Christmas Card - Cocoa Mugs Workshop

Hi, there!!! The weather is changing drastically that it shocks the body. It's just confusing our system. Well they say that a cup of hot cocoa or a cup of coffee keeps the body at normal temperature in the holidays. So I'm doing that with cards, too!

It's so much fun doing this card and it's sooo easy. I used the Jolly Holiday DSP #117159 and I didn't realize how useful and how lovely these design papers were until I used them for my Xmas cards. I wish they never retire this set.



Picture a warm mug with hot cocoa topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with cinammon or cocoa powder. Of course ,we can't forget to plop in the ever so sweet peppermint candy cane that gives that little bit of flavor of Christmas. Can you picutre it? Well, we will be making a set of 4 cards at my November workshop:) In this class, you'll be getting a cute designer tin to hold your cards too! So hurry and sign up for my class!! It will be on November 13th and 14th :)

To purchase my tutorial for this class, it will be a $4.99 fee to receive a .pdf file via email. To sign up for the class, it will be a $9.99 fee. Please click the button for advance sittings and tutorials.

My Monster Mash Boxes

Introducing, my Monster Mash collection! You know that song A Monster Mash? That song inspired me to put together this group of Halloween cuties. I've got my Witch, Mummy, Vampire, Gizmo Gremlin and Franky. What best is there than using your Owl Punch (#118074) once again! They're just the perfect ensemble when you make your Halloween basket treats. In this case, I made my Halloween Treat Boxes using color cardstocks: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry on the roofs. You may combine them with Chocolate Chip Brown, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Concord Crush.

Here are the rest of the gang!






To see the whole picture, here's a good take that will woe anyone. This was also one of our BigShot project last week. It was fun making them with Sandy and Carol!
To make the Haunted House Boxes, click HERE. Excuse me for using a different ribbon. The perfect ribbon to use on this project is the Black 1/2" Lace Trim - Raven#120988. Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
