And, new this year, I’ll be including a video tutorial to go along with every Twelve Weeks project!

Today’s project is this sweet Snowman Top Hat Treat Holder.

These adorable treat holders measure 2″ tall by 2″ wide. They would make great party favors, dinner party placeholders, and coworker gifts. I imagine a cake plate full of them to present to your holiday guests at the dessert table.

Make a Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder

The Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder I’m sharing today is a quirky little fellow. The basket of the treat holder measures 2″ tall and 3-1/2″ wide. It’s big enough to hold a significant number of harvest treats!

I think the Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder would make an incredible gift at everyone’s place at the holiday table. A perfect gift for a co-worker or a flock of them would be a fun contribution to the book club.

The basket is made from a 6″ x 6″ piece of cardstock scored at 2″ and 4″ on both sides. Score at 5/8″ and 1-3/8″ on each corner panel. Make a tic mark at 3″ on the top and bottom middle panels. Use a ruler and stylus to create a diagonal score line from the tic mark to the corners of the middle panels per diagram.

Cut on the score lines per diagram:

Once the scoring and cutting are done, the basket is ready to assemble and embellish. I used the Layering Circles Dies and the Hello Harvest Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to finish the Hello Harvest Turkey-Shaped Treat Holder. Watch the video below for complete project directions.

Make a Cottage Wreaths Fancy Fold Christmas Card!

I’m always ready to learn a new fancy fold for my card making. The Cottage Wreaths Fancy-Fold Christmas Card I’m sharing today is a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ square card. I used the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to decorate the front flap.

I purchased the Cottage Wreaths Bundle because of its versatility. The bundle can be used for all holidays and occasions. Here it is decked out for Halloween.

I’m loving the Real Red Glimmer Paper bow and the sparkly sequins on the wreath. The fancy part of this card is the fold. It’s like a card within a card and the effect was so easy to achieve!

Make a Spruced Up Scalloped Christmas Card

Are you a fan of How the Grinch Stole Christmas? The images from the book and the movies are fun and whimsical. The Spruced Up Scalloped Christmas Card project I’m sharing with you today reminds me of those playful images.

The card base measures 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. I created some interest by cutting a scalloped edge about 1-1/4″ from the bottom of the front flap of the Pool Party card base. I also cut a scalloped edge from a 2″ x 4″ piece of Designer Series Paper for a sweet surprise when you open the card.

The Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper on the card front measures 4″ x 3-1/2. The Poppy Parade square on the card front equals 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″.

Make a Cottage Wreaths Mini Cutting Board for Fall Decor

I stumbled across mini cutting boards during a recent visit to Hobby Lobby. Of course, I had to make something using them and here is the result:

I painted the 3-1/2″ x 7″ natural wood cutting boards with white spray paint and then embellished them using the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper and the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Make a Bewitching Halloween Cauldron Treat Holder

Today I’m sharing a Bewitching Halloween Cauldron Treat Holder. I found the plastic mini cauldrons at a local Dollar Tree store and knew I wanted to embellish them for Halloween. You can also find the same plastic buckets on Amazon.

These treat holders would make excellent class party favors, coworker treats, and teacher gifts. And, bonus, they are quick and easy to make! I used the Bewitching Bundle by Stampin’ Up! to decorate the cauldrons.

A strip of window sheet helped to make it appear that the witch has fallen into the cauldron. Another small detail that I love about this Bewitching Halloween Cauldron treat holder is the spider hanging from the witch’s hat.

Make a Hello Harvest Watercolor Card

Probably not a popular opinion, but I’m not a pumpkin spice latte fan. I hope we can still be friends – lol! I am, however, a fan of pumpkins and am beginning to scatter them around the house and craft with them as we enter September. This card, made yesterday during my live Coffee & a Card, was so fun to make.

I used Water Painters along with re-inkers and stamps to create the soft, watercolor effect onto Shimmery White cardstock. The card base is an 8-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half. The other layers on the card include a 4″ x 4″ piece of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper, a 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and a 3″ x 3″ piece of Basic White cardstock.

Make a Christmas Banners Floating Christmas Card

I’ve noticed several cards around the interwebs that are using the “floating” technique. I was curious to see how to make them and today’s project is the result of that curiosity.

Because this was my first attempt at making a floating card, I kept it simple. I used strips of various sizes from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper to create the floating circle on my card. Once I placed the floating circle onto the card front I embellished it with die-cuts from the Christmas Banner Dies.

Sweet Gingerbread Christmas Card

The card I’m sharing today is a fun-fold called a 2-step. The adorable elements from the Sweet Gingerbread Bundle by Stampin’ Up! were perfect for the steps of the card. And the sweet print from the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper was a natural choice.

The fold on the card is created by making five scores on the 11″ side of a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock. Score at 1-1/4″, 2-1/2″, 4-1/4″, 6″, and 8-1/4″. The “steps” of the card will look like this:

I adhered a 4-3/4″ x 4″ piece of the designer series paper to a 5″ x 4-1/4″ piece of card stock then adhered the panel to the last step of the card. The remaining piece of designer series paper for the front step of the card measures 1-1/8″ x 4″. Watch the video tutorial for complete instructions for completing the Sweet Gingerbread Step Card.

Make a Hello Harvest Curtain Fold Card

Kiddos in our area started school this week and that means that the days will begin to get cooler as the Fall season begins. Today’s Hello Harvest Curtain-Fold card gives all the autumn feels. I used products from Stampin’ Up!’s Rustic Harvest Suite to create my card.

Look at those gorgeous, jewel-tone colors in the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper! I used a more subdued print for my Hello Harvest Curtain-Fold card. I didn’t want the paper to compete with the layers of die-cuts that I added.

I used ink and Stampin’ Blends to color the die-cuts on the card and popped everything up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Here is a close-up.

The curtain-fold on the card front is very easy to achieve and I think it elevates the card. I will be using this technique a lot in the future.

Make a Sweet Gingerbread House Treat Holder

The Sweet Gingerbread House treat holder project I’m sharing with you today is the cutest! The box measures 1-1/2″ square and 1-3/4″ tall. It’s an excellent size for gifting small candies. The floating “Have a sweet Christmas” greeting is my favorite thing about the Sweet Gingerbread House.

To make the box for the Sweet Gingerbread House you will need a piece of card stock that measures 6-1/2″ x 2-3/4″. Score the 6-1/2″ side at 1-1/2″, 3″, 4-1/2″ & 6″. Score the 2-3/4″ side at 1″. Trim box tabs per this diagram, add your favorite strong adhesive, and assemble the box.

Once the box is complete it’s time to decorate the Sweet Gingerbread treat holder! I used Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, and Coastal Cabana inks to stamp the doors, windows, and gumdrops. I also heat embossed the cute filigree image onto the front of my house using white embossing powder.

The project I’m sharing with you today is this bewitching Halloween card. I used the Bewitching Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to dress up this project.

Make a Halloween Monster Party Favor

I had so much fun making the candy corn treat box last week that I decided to make another one. Today’s Halloween Monster Party Favor follows the exact instructions, but is a different scary one! I guess we can call him Frank.

The Monster Party Favor is a good-sized box measuring 1-1/2″ deep, 3″ tall, and 2-1/2″ wide. It’s a great size to fill with spooky treats or even a gift card.

Make a Hello Harvest Greeting Card

It’s not too early to begin thinking about your fall and holiday papercraft projects. How satisfying would it be to have a collection of greeting cards to choose from when the occasion arises come September?!

My Hello Harvest greeting card is one that I would be proud to send. The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper and beautiful images from the Hello Harvest stamp set did all the work for me.
