It was fun to create this card on World Card Making Day a few weeks ago.

I used a pocket page layout from September's Crop Kingston all-day crop for inspiration to create this card. You can find inspiration anywhere! But I like sharing alternatives to my pocket pages as it shows that even if someone might not like making pocket pages they can still use my projects for inspiration. This card is a CASE of the one 4" x 6" pocket made to fit a 4.25" x 5.5" Early Espresso card base.

I think my favourite stamp set in the Holiday Catalogue is this one - the Nature's Beauty stamp set. It doesn't have any sentiments but the images work for any occasion! The best part is $4 from every sale will go towards the Center for Addiction and Mental Health here in Canada. I love that Stampin' Up! is being a difference maker and we can help contribute to mental health by purchasing the stamp set. If you missed seeing it - check out page 63 of the Holiday Catalogue.

My card today was created for a team swap. Many different dies were used to create this card - the Stitched Labels dies, Stitched Shapes dies, and the Frosted Bouquet dies.

One of my nephews love penguins! I don't own this set and had over looked it in the Holiday Catalogue. That is until I was at a recent Crop Kingston all day crop that I run with Lisa Henderson. She was using the Playful Penguins stamp set for a swap card. Upon seeing the stamp set I knew it would be perfect for my nephew's birthday! His mom let me know recently that he jumped for joy when he received this card in the mail - both for it having a penguin on it and the birthday money inside! Fills my heart to hear how much he enjoyed receiving his card.

The penguin was stamped in Black Memento ink and then fussy cut. The bow tie was stamped using the new Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink. The metallic ink does take a little longer to dry before you can cut out the image but I love the shine, the perfect touch for this cool penguin!

I've created these mini curvy boxes using the Monster Bash designer series paper. It uses a 5.25" x 5.25" piece of designer series paper so you can make 4 boxes from one 12"x12" sheet.

The window on these boxes was cut out using the teardrop shape die that comes with the Mini Curvy Keepsake dies. Use a piece of Window Sheet to cover the hole from the inside before putting the box together. The Lace Trim was coloured using a Basic Black Dark Stampin' Blend and adhered with glue dots once the box was assembled. I wrote the boo greeting using the Basic Black blend.
