As part of my Silly Old Bear card party today I made everyone a little treat box filled with Bit-o-Honey candy and in class we made two more gift items. Winnie the Pooh tea with honey sticks and a cute little box with honeycomb shaped soap. I will put the printable tutorials for the Bit-o-Honey box and the Oh, Bother Soap box in the comments.

My Silly Old Bear party card class today was so much fun! Everyone went home with six great products in a sweet little goodies bag and a yummy cupcake in their tummies.

Last week I posted pictures of cards that I made with things I found on my desk after cleaning. Yesterday, I finished the insides using even little edge scraps that some might have thrown away!

Autumn is my favorite time of year and I'm super excited with all the Fall products that are coming in just a few weeks. The beautiful Autumn Opulence DSP and copper foil are a great combination. I used the Swiss Dot Hot Foil die to add copper dots to the cardstock and the DSP. A subtle, but fun little detail to take this card to the next level.

Only Stampin'Up! Products used:
Autumn Opulence DSP #168336, Elegant Leaves stamp set #168300 (greeting), Metal Effects Specialty Paper #167105, Swiss Dots Hot Foil die #170075 & Copper Hot Foil #170553

Don't miss out on this great stamp. You can do SO many things with it and if you love to color, your going to love it! It's perfect for the Spotlight technique where you highlight only part of the image.

Look at my new hat! My personal trainer and friend, Dustin, is an avid knitter. When I arrived today to work out, he handed me this hat he made just for me in my favorite color! It's so cool, (well actually kind of hot right now) but what is even more special is that he took the time to make it just for me and it blessed my day. I will treasure it and feel what I'm feeling today every time I wear it. This is what every person that receives one of our handmade cards feels like. Never underestimate the power of even the simplest of gestures.
