3X3 Treat Holder and Card

Need a quick and easy treat holder and card?
If you don’t know by now; I love things that are quick and easy to put together.
This is a treat holder made from our 3 x 3 envelopes and a coordinating 3 x 3 card. 

Check this out:

Inside the envelope I have a Ghirardelli Chocolate and the coordinating card.

Here is the card:
 

These go together so quickly:
All you need is the 3 x 3 square envelopes #107309 $7.50; just tuck the flap inside the envelope. 

For the little card cut some whisper white card stock 2 3/4″ X 5 1/2″ and fold it in 1/2 to create a 2 3/4″ X 2 3/4″ square card. Attach your card to a piece of coordinating card stock cut 3″ X 3″. 

I used the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack #132181 $6.95 scraps on the front of the envelope and the card. I then stamped the Festive Flurry snowflakes in Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White and cut them out with the Coordinating framelits. Get the Festive Flurry Bundle and save 15% #133284 $54.95 or #133285 $46.95.

These make a super cute little thank you to put in someone’s orders or even leave on their desk at work. Whomever you decide to give these to it’s guaranteed to leave a smile on their face.

Razzleberry Poinsettias by Holly Brown

Razzleberry Poinsettias

Sometimes I like to change things up and do the unexpected. Today I've created a Christmas card, but I've used non-traditional Christmas colors on this card.

Instead of the red and green combo, or a blue and white combo, I've gone way outside the box. I've gone with a purple-ish color called Razzleberry and I paired it with some grays and a pale pink and white. I love how this combo turned out. It's fun to come up with an idea in your head and then have the end result look better than you expected. :-)

I started with a Razzleberry card base and I added a sheet of the embossed gray paper from The Lake House paper pad. I die cut the Tiny Bubbles (Cheery Lynn Designs) from pale pink cardstock and then I backed it with a strip of the Razzleberry cardstock. I glued this down on the left side of my card.

I then stamped the sentiment from Christmas Inner Thoughts (JustRite) on white cardstock, layered that on a dark gray cardstock, and adhered it to the card. I die cut the poinsettias from the Poinsettia Strip (Cheery Lynn Designs) and picked out the ones I wanted to use. I ended up using the smallest flower and the medium flower and I die cut extras so I could layer them.

I wanted a little extra "magic" to go with the sentiment on my card, so I squeezed some Mercury Glass Stickles onto each poinsettia and smeared it around with my finger. I let these dry completely before I glued the layers together. The final touch was to add a Mother of Pearl Rhinestone to each of the poinsettias.

I have to tell you - I am in LOVE with this Mercury Glass Stickles. That shine is just awesome! This can go with any color and it will look fabulous. I love the old-fashioned charm this gives to my non-traditional poinsettias.
