Cards Inspired by Dad's Dad Favors

I made 60 of these Ghiradlli favors for the men in our churches to celebrate Father's Day. We had some special guests at church presenting a musical that morning and I wound up giving them to the guests, too. But, I still came home with 5 left over and so I made the cards like the one below. (And the best part I got to eat the chocolate!)

Another Pack of Scraps Used!

A couple of weeks ago I felt challenged to use up some of those packs of Designer Series Paper that just had scraps in them. Yesterday I shared that I had finished one. Here's the last of the scraps from another pack. I'm making room for those new packs of DSP from the new catalog. So many pretty designs and color combos!

More A-B-C's

I've used the Little Letters Thinlits and my Big Shot for today's A-B-C cards. The top card was the idea I had in my head and I liked the way it turned out but I then I had the Marina Mist Blue card stock with "HAPPY" cut out and decided to design a card around it. Which is your favorite?
The DSP on the cards is from the Sweet Taffy pack. "Birthday" sentiment comes from the Celebrate Today stamp set. The tag on the top card is punched using the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.

Petal Potpourri

 I really tried not to buy this stamp set and matching punch. But I just saw too many great cards made with it and I did want the Crazy for You stamp set that has one flower that coordinates with the punch. So... if I was getting the punch I might as well get the bundle and use the punch even more, right? Right! I am so glad I did. I've had such fun with it.
I made the upper card first and liked the layout and the colors just decided it looked too drab for this time of year. (As I prepare this post we are experiencing negative temps again. UGH!)
The lower card is my second design using the same layout but switching the colors and the flower from the Petal Potpourri set. The brad in the center is one from my stash of retired stuff as is the Calypso Coral ribbon.
The "thanks" comes from the Another Thank You set and I cut that piece of card stock using the Ornate Tag Topper punch in the Occasions catalog.
