These are called Box-in-a-Bag. Aren't they cute? They are so simple to make and can be adapted for any holiday or occasion. I don't know who actually came up with this idea (there are lots of samples out there in blogland) but I found instructions at Paula's blog: Inking Addict.
I used some retired Stampin'Up! designer paper from my stash to create these. The stamp set is called Batty for You and is in the current Stampin'Up! fall-winter catalog. I also used the scallop edge punch from the current catalog to create the border around the bottom (instead of the slit punch used in Paula's tutorial.)
Here's a close-up of one. For fun I added googlie eyes to the stamped image.
And finally, this last photo is a card we also made at our stamp club meeting last Friday.
This card is an adaptation of the Glitter Window technique. You can find instructions at Splitcoaststampers.com. The snowman and snowflake images are from the Merry & Bright stamp set in the 2008 Stampin'Up fall & winter catalog. The greeting is from Many Merry Messages set, also in the current catalog. I used a combination of the 1 3/8" circle punch and the small oval punch from the SU! catalog to create the base of the snow globe.Thanks for looking. I'll be back soon with a new tutorial.
