Apple Cider Pocket with Sucker

 I love dressing up apple cider and hot coco with paper pockets.

I found this inspiration from Pinterest and began making a few.


I am using this 12X12 pattern paper pack from Die Cuts With a View.
I like to use 13X15 inch 2 Gallon Plastic bags from Amazon to hold the paper pad and extras.

I cut my pattern paper to 4X5 1/8.
Made a diagonal cut.
I cut from one corner to about 2 1/2 inches down from the opposite side. 

Using a cut apart from the same paper pack for the back of the holder.
You can write a message here if you would like.

This is from Stampin UP called Harvest Hellos.

I purchased some Caramel Apple Pops and Apple Cider packets.

This color is Pear Pizazz from Stampin Up.
I cut it like a traditional A2 card size 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
Made that same diagonal cut like the pattern paper. 
I used the pattern paper to help me make sure it was correct facing.

I am using a combination of Sticky tape, very thin and Liquid glue to give a good strong hold.

I decided to use the extra corner for the inside.
It make it look even more finished.
Edit to add I did this after glueing shut.
It would be alot easier to do this before you glue it shut.

Now the test.
It fits.

I am using the color Crushed Curry and Watermelon Wonder also from Stampin Up.

Matching card stock.
Stamped and punched.

Lawn Fawn scallop and circle.

Sticky tape and foam dimensionals.

Finished back.

Finished front.
I forgot that I did ink an wood grain embossing folder from my stash and ran the circle threw my die cut machine to add texture and ink.

I added the sucker tucked behind behind.
The inspiration project added those caramel bits in a tube but I choose the sucker.

Mummy Dog Fold-it for Halloween #2

 I had too, I made anouther Mummy Dog Fold-it this time using the Puppy die.

A card base and extra outline.

I cut out all my pieces from the Stamps of Life card stock -
Vanilla, Twig, Gingersnap, and Candy.

Just use the sand which you have for your die cutting machine to dry emboss.

I used the embossing mat to dry emboss the image of the Puppy to the out line die.

I also decided to cut anouther out line shadow.
I trimmed the one that I used to emboss the main image.
I will glue my pieces on this one and then when I am completly done with the front of the Puppy I will adhere the whole thing to the extra outline I cut out.

Just like a puzzle I am glueing down the pieces to make my Puppy.

I cut the bone in half and also inked the edges.
As well as the Trick or Treat banner.
Taylored Expressions blending brushes are my favorite.

How the back looks.
I just tuck some Tombow Mono Liquid Glue behind the areas I need.
The treat bucket and bone came from a Stampin Up stamp and die set called - Howl-o-ween Treat.

Pokey tool to help life up his little lip.
I will tuck this under after adding the Mummy ribbon wraps.
I stamped in Licorice ink using a Lawn Fawn stamp set called - Pick of the Patch.

This is a Vanilla Ribbon from Stampin Up.
I am just cutting the sizes I need then flipping over and adding some sticky tape to the back.
Using my ribbon scissors to get nice clean cuts.

I used a pokey tool that I got from the $1 Spot at Target.
It came in a set of three tools that are ment for using with your cricut.

I tucked some of my Mummy wrap ribbon under the ear and mouth.

How the back looks after adding all the mummy wrap.
Also added some Stampin Up dimensionals.

Used a block to hold down the treat bucket until my Tombow Mono Liquid Glue dried.

Finished Card

I also used a no longer in business company's stamp set -

Mummy Dog Fold-it for Halloween

 I created this Mummy Dog Fold-it and its just the Cutest thing ever.

I am using the Corgi Fold-it from the Stamps of Life.
I took the detailed image die and used their Powder Sugar card stock.

I used Candy Ink to add to the nose and a tinny bit to the ears.
The eyes I used Licorice ink to color them.

I inked the Corgi in the Stamps of Life Twig ink.
It does not have to be perfect because we are going to wrap him up.

I am using some sticky tape to hold down the ribbon.
You can kind of see some sticky strip where the eyes and nose are .
That is how I inlayed them.

What the back of the Corgi looks like after wrapping him up and trimming him.
This ribbon is from Stampin Up - its a Vanilla - Cream base and looks like Mummuy Wrap -
I love it - I have 3 rolls.

The ends of the ribbon and sticky strip pile.

I used the Outline die to create the card base using Vanilla card stock.
I also cut a full one out of Twig card stock.
It will give a shadow to the Corgi and hide the fold of the card.

A lot of Stampin Up dimensionals on the back.

I used the dies from Stampin Up - Howl-o-Ween Treat stamp and die set.

I cut apart the bones and tucked them in and behind the pumpkin treat bucket.
Not shown I used a little Twig ink to define the bones since it was white and white.

Add a block for a few until the liquid glue dries.

I originaly used the bottom banner die and decided I wanted the top banner ends.
I need to cut the banner shorter so I just incerted the banner back and cut again.

Finished Card.

Close up - Side view.

Inside of the card.
The sentiments came from -
