October Cards

 I found a reason to use my new fall stamps.



 Aren't they just the cutest critters? I love Lawn Fawn stamps.



 Something new to the card collection is this weird looking thingy also from Lawn Fawn.



 It makes a cute little box when you cut out two and stick them together. I thought it would be cute for giving gift certificates during the holidays. There's lots of videos on how to decorate them so I was hooked.


 I used it to make a box so I could share some mini lotion bars with someone. I tried every wrapping trick I knew but these tiny bars didn't work with anything I had on hand. What I really needed were some mini cupcake liners but I didn't have any so I made a box and stuffed two inside it.



Every time I make a batch of lotion bars I have just enough left over to make a few minis that I use for testing. I've discovered I love the small size and I keep jars of them all over the house. I find them very useful when I am spinning. Fiber used to always catch on my rough, old hands. Not any more.

    What a cute idea! A stencil to make a box! Whoodathunk it! Ha! I love the lotion bar you sent me. I keep it right by my knitting chair and find myself reaching for it several times a day. It works wonderfully. Thank you again. :-)
    Blessings,

    I need some ideas Deb. I have to put a number on each bottle of wine for the cork pull at our shelter Gala. Should I use gold yarn and a punch hole on paper with BLACK numbers ? Our colors are gold and black. .....

    The cards are really sweet! I love the hedgehog especially! And I love the lotion bar you sent - I have Reynaud's Syndrome and my hands are very sensitive and dry - This is absolutely the best thing I've found to help!
