Treat Bags #2 and some REALLY great specials!

Here is my second share of a Treat Bag, well, really this is a Treat Box!  These little Pizza Boxes are PERFECT for some candy, a gift card, a sweet homemade cookie or fudge, or what my boys would like...CASH!  The inside of the box is lined, so home baked goods would be safe to include.  They are also just the right size for a sweet set of 3x3 cards. Here is the video from Facebook Live , where I share some of the details about how to make the treat box as well as information about Paper Shares and specials Stampin' UP is running right now.

Need a catalog?  Let me know and I will get one to you!  Or, check out the pdf online .  It is filled with a range of creative styles for projects for Fall, Halloween, Winter and Christmas.

Sending Thanks & Card Classes

What is that quote about best intentions?  Well, I had the best intentions when I made these cards for all of my friends who attended my first card class!  But as I transitioned back to school, I NEVER SENT THEM!  Does that ever happen to you?  Well, the good news is that if they come again, they'll get two cards in the mail this month!  :) I hope you can join me at Round Table in Folsom for Kristy's Card Class on Tuesday, August 22nd, 5:30-8:30.  I'm looking forward to crafting with you!
