Random Act of Kindness treats are the ones I love to make. And when you find something a little different it makes giving even more fun. The difficulty is trying to figure out a decorative package. That was definitely an issue with today’s treat project!
The Treat Topper
As I said in the beginning, sometimes how to decorate a gift can be the most difficult part. As you can see from the photo, these are chocolate covered pretzel rods. They are about 8″ long. Luckily they are already individually sealed, so that was not a worry. Finally I saw a treat bag top Brian King had made and decided a simple topper was the way to go.
Layers
The highlight of the topper is the Witch Hat Punch. And it is so sad that it sold out. Hopefully you were one of the ones who purchased it, as a LOT of people did! The hat from the Bewitching stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on Orchid Oasis cardstock. After punching the hat, a hat band was also punched using a piece of the Orchid Oasis from the 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper. It received a Black Matte Dot to complete the hat portion of the topper.
The base of the topper is simply Basic Black cardstock punched with the Lasting Label Punch. It was folded in half lengthwise and stapled to the top of the bag. Using my faithful Double Oval Punch for the sentiment was a great and quick solution to the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Scary Cute stamp set and is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. I used a glue dot to adhere it to the back of the hat brim prior to adhering the hat to the black base. The hat covers the staple on the front so you see a cute tag with no staples showing from the front.
Happy Halloween to all of you….
I hope this gives you an idea for personalizing, and decorating, a quick treat. Hope your Halloween is fun!

Today’s card is a pretty Winter scene that could be used for any occasion. Sometimes I forget about a simple seasonal card.
Paper
This paper is really the star of the card in my opinion. It is from the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series paper. And it is a sweet Winter scene with a mix of blues and browns. For the card base I went with Early Espresso to highlight the tree bases. But the sentiment layer is framed with Night of Navy for some contrast.
Stamp Sets
To compliment the paper, I found the little animals in the Peaceful Deer stamp set. It is in the Annual Catalog and carried over from last year’s Mini. These cute little guys seemed right at home with this scene in the paper. Both of them were stamped with Early Espresso and colored with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. And for this perfect sentiment I went to the Beauty of Friendship stamp set. It also is in the Annual Catalog.
Fold
This is the triple bar card that I have shared a couple of times before. Today’s version may be my favorite because of the paper and how it looks like a solid piece instead of the strips when closed. Here is a partially open view where you can see how it slides apart.
And here is a previous versions. This fold was cased from Connie Stewart. Here is the link.

The Santa’s Delivery stamp set is so stinking cute! Old fashioned Santa’s are my favorite. And especially paired with a simple HoHoHo
Stamp Set
This adorable Santa in the train engine is so cute! I love old fashioned Santa’s and this reminds me of that. There are more images to the stamp set and additional train pieces. But this simple one worked perfectly for my idea. The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends. All of the colors are in the Supply List at the bottom of the post. To add the “smoke” coming out of the smoke stack, I used a trio of the Classic Matte Dots in the Basic Gray. They fit perfectly with the room I had left at the top of the stamped image.
Paper
This beautiful DSP was as much a part of my idea as Santa was. This sweet HoHoHo sheet is from the matching Santa Express Designer Series Paper. It is part of the Santa Suite of products. But this adorable piece caught my eye immediately. The colors are both traditional and modern, but the words are just perfect!
To use the non traditional colors was my choice of the way to lean to begin this card. So the card base is Petal Pink with the layer of Bermuda Bay. Both are from the DSP and fit in great with the more traditional of the train colors I used. Since the paper was the sentiment 🙂 I simply added the Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon as the finishing touch.

Pretty and simple are great combinations anytime. And today’s card highlights both of those using the Peace To You stamp set.
Stamps
There are two stamp sets used on this card. The first is the fabulous Peace To You stamp set. The image of the church is from that set. It is square shaped with more trees showing when looking at the stamp itself. To change it up a little, I used the Decorative Circle Punch to highlight the church and a couple of partial trees. With the shape of the punch the scene is framed very well.
The second stamp set is for the sentiment. Since I have friends all over the country I take this statement literally. And I love that! Even though they are not close by, they are still friends and in my thoughts. This sentiment is from the Leaves of Holly stamp set. To shape the sentiment I went to the partner to Leaves of Holly, the Holly Berry Dies. These are a bundle in the Mini Catalog. This shape is a little larger than totally necessary for the words. However the extra bit of white sort of mimics all the white of the card against the blue strip.
Definition and Finishes
To give the background of white some definition, I used the Whimsical Woodland Embossing Folder. It may be a little more whimsical than the focal image, but the tone on tone of it keeps it more subdued. By using only two colors on the card everything seems to work well together.
The Starry Sky Ink for the focal image is a brighter “night” than Night of Navy ink would be. And by using it as the card base and the strip to ground the sentiment, it gives a brighter look to the card. To add a touch of bling, I simply added two of the Rhinestones to the sentiment. This is a great card for multiples, and may just be in my Christmas cards for this season.

Today’s project is a Christmas card that is pretty quick and highlights both the beautiful paper as well as the sentiment. Plus it utilizes some non-traditional colors.
Paper
It seems to me that the paper is the highlight of this card. The mix of greens, plus the addition of the Petal Pink, are surprisingly bright and wonderful. This sheet is from the Santa Express Designer Series paper. It does not hurt my feelings that the Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green are included. Those are my current favorite in the green family. And you cannot go wrong with the Pool Party background. This card could be made with many different combinations in the layers.
Other Elements
With the paper being the star, I needed something else that would pop as well. This fun sentiment is from the Santa’s Delivery stamp set. Once I had decided on the sentiment, which I love for occasions other than Christmas, I needed something to help it shine with the beautiful paper. That came from the Seasonal Labels Dies. These layering labels seem perfect for the bold sentiment. And with the two layers I could add a touch of the Petal Pink from the paper.
To finish the card I added the Wonderful Snowflake. That is it’s name and not just that I think it is a wonderful layer! The snowflakes are a carryover from last Christmas. With the addition of one of the largest of the Iridescent Rhinestones for the center it was a wonderful pairing to the sentiment layer. You can find it in the back of the Mini Catalog with Embellishments.
Hope you have a great day!

Today’s card is another Halloween and is part of the Make My Monday Challenge. As part of the design team, we hope to inspire your card making. Today’s card is very much out of my normal range and is covered in Glitter!! Not the loose kind. Glimmer Paper and tape are the stars.
You can join in the fun of the Make My Monday Challenge too. Just click on the icon and you will be taken to the blog where you can see cards from the other designers as well as add your own version.
Glimmer and Shine Paper
My version of a fun Halloween card is cute and not scary. And to be a little different from some of my others I decided to make this one a sparkly Halloween. The Glitter Washi Tape from the Mini Catalog was the inspiration for the card design. And with those pretty colors it also became the basis of the colors I chose to use. The washi tape colors are Black, Highland Heather, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie. However, I used similar colors to create my little scene.
From the sparkle of the Old Olive tape, I changed to Parakeet Party for the card base. The layer of Glimmer Paper is from the 2022-2024 Glimmer Paper and I chose Orchid Oasis for the purple hue. And the top layer is Night of Navy to depict the night of Trick or Treating. After adding the tape across the bottom to ground the sentiment, I decided the card needed a bit more and used different strips with the children images.
Stamps and Layers
The Scary Cute stamp set is my Halloween set of choice. I love the images and the sweet sentiments. Choosing this set was the easy part. The difficult decision was how to showcase the different images. To create the background I stamped the bats using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on the Night of Navy cardstock. Then stamped the images and sentiment on scraps of Basic White. The sentiment was punched using my favorite the Double Oval Punch. With the strips of Washi to ground it, I did not need the layer behind the sentiment.
For the trick or treater images I used the Layering Circles Dies. The images are fairly small and I did not want to cover too much of the background. But to give the children some bling, I did add the strips of Glitter Washi Tape to tie in to the other colors. As a Tip for you, I used the Stamparatus to get the dark solid images of the children. Being able to stamp a couple of times really makes a difference on these solid images. 🙂
Hope you have an awesome Fall day!
