Below are examples of cards that you could make using supplies from the kit and the extra supplies I will send you.

Halloween Slimline Cards - video tutorial

Slimline cards are all over Pinterest.  At a recent ZOOM meeting with my demonstrator friends, we each made a slimline card for our "show and tell" part of the meeting.  I used the Banner Year stamp set and Magic in this Night Designer Series paper for my card.  This size card will fit into a regular business size envelope - and can be mailed using regular first class postage - unless the card weighs over 1 oz or is too thick.

Below is the video tutorial for making a slimline card like this. The card in the video has slightly different measurements - to get more cards from your 12x12 paper. Measurements for both cards are litsted at the end of this post. (If you are viewing this in your email - you may need to click on the post title to load the video.)

**FYI - the Starburst punch I use in the video is no longer available in the Clearance Rack.**

If you look closely at the photos - you can see that the cards on the left are made with a slightly larger piece of Designer Series Paper.  The card on the right uses a smaller piece of DSP - to get more cards from one sheet of 12x12 paper.  The measurements for both cards are listed below.

Measurements for the card on the left are printed in BLACK.

Measurements for the card on the right are printed in RED

• Card Base : 8" x 9" scored in half at 4
• Designer Series Paper:3 1/4 x 8 1/4 or 3 x 8
• Card stock behind DSP: 3 3/8 x 8 3/8 or 3-1/4 x 8-1/4
• DSP strip: 1 1/2 x 4 or 1-1/4 x4
• Card stock behind DSP: 1 3/4 x 4 or 1-1/2 x 4
• 2 inch circle punch and Starburst punch (retired) for greeting

Christmas Countdown

Can you believe that it will be Christmas in only 10 short weeks!  I had to check my calendar twice to make sure I had that right!  So for the next 10 Fridays - I will be helping you find just the perfect gifts for the people on your shopping list.  Today, it is the CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN PROJECT KIT.

This is a great kit for you to buy now, make with your family, then use it to count down the days until Christmas during the month of December.  The 25 boxes are approximately 2x2x2 inches - and can be filled with little treats or other small goodies.  The contents of the kit are shown below - all you need to complete this project is adhesive!

Below is the same kit - made using one sheet from TRIMMING THE TOWN Designer Series Paper. What a cute home decor project this is!  You could put small paper strips inside each box- with a fun family activity to do each day.  Or try putting a joke or riddle in each box.  Or even a household chore that needs to be completed before the holidays arrive!  So many ideas......

 

You could use this project kit to make a countdown for any special occasion including birthdays, weddings, or any holiday - including Halloween.

Here's another way to use this project kit - as storage for small items including jewerely or other small items that don't currently have a place of their own.  You could cover the front of the boxes  with any patterned paper to match your home decor.  The box below was decorated using the IN GOOD TASTE Designer Series Paper, which is currently on sale during the month of October 2020.

What a fun project this would be for just about anyone on your list.  The front and back of the boxes can both be decorated - and double the use of this kit!  CLICK HERE NOW to add this kit to your shopping bag!
