AND Here We Go! Cutest Halloween Gifting At The Office?

It's my time!  The time of year when I am just happy.  I can't put my finger on what EXACTLY causes my crazy good mood.... the weather gets cooler and the colors change and I begin preparing for what really is (in this girl's humble opinion) "the most wonderful time of the year".  I never understood why I sang songs about the dead of winter being the "most wonderful time" when CLEARLY pumpkin spiced lattes, cozy sweaters and free candy season makes it to the top of the wonderful-time list!  Am I right?!?  And it also helps that now I'm prepping for Halloween gifting (those of you who know me know I LOVE Halloween gifting) so today's post is featuring mini-gift packaging that is super-easy to make and you can do a lot of them easily for the folks at the office.  I've also included a not-just-for-Halloween card that, again, is super easy but cute as can be. 

And speaking of "cute".... Stampin Up!'s Cutest Halloween is what I'm featuring today.  I mentioned it in the video (link at the bottom), the bundle will save you 10%, but the punch in the bundle is not required.  These are EASY, EASY, EASY to cut out.  There are no detailed lines and the images are not too big and not too small... simple fussy cutting.  BUT, I know there are folks out there who hate the f-word and the punch DOES punch out the designer series paper images, so for some (me.... I'm 'some') getting the 10% discounted bundle makes so much sense!  If you are one of those that is aiming for the bundle... the price already reflects the discount as long as you select the bundle item number.  I've included that in the FREE project PDF (you will see the link to the free PDF just under the last project picture).  On to this week's projects:


I showed in the video a couple of "treat" ideas for this tiny treat box.  I'm a little obsessed!  PLEASE share in the comments any idea YOU have for things that will fit in this adorable packaging!


Smile is right!!!! This card is SO GREAT to give to anyone for anything!  And it is one of those cards that allows you to use up all those scraps lying around!  Put a different color in every window and EASILY change up the them for anything you need!  LOVE!  Psssssst.... there's another Christmas version of this coming up in the Holiday Penguins Class.... check the videos below for a sneak peek!


Be warned... this little box is small, but MIGHTY!!!  The box holds TWO packs of the Little Debbie Brownies and sits perfectly upright!  I made this thinking about a co-worker finding it next to their computer.... the presentation factor on this one is perfection! And those brownies are VERY inexpensive making this one really cost-effective if you're busting out a gift for everyone at the office!

You can get everything you need for these projects by clicking the "Shop With Me" tab at the top of this blog under my title banner and remember.... an order of $35 or more this week in my online store using Host/Hostess code QTBVGHQV gets you each of these project make n' take kits for FREE!!!!  And you still have a couple more days of Sale-a-bration!  Bumping that $35 order to $50 earns you an additional FREE Sale-a-bration item.... but there's only a couple of days left for that!

Stay tuned for more Halloween-goodness next week!  YAY HALLOWEEN!!!!


Intro to today's Freebie Friday on Tuesday (LOL).... with a sneak peek of the upcoming Holiday Penguins Class To Go!  :)

How to Upload Gypsy Cut Files To Your Gypsy

Well... Today was the big day for the Provo Craft Gypsy! Provo Craft FINALLY provided the Cricut Design Studio compatibility and now we also have the added benefit of sharing Gypsy cut files... but it was at a price. I will get to that in a later post. In honor of this occasion though, I will be adding my Gypsy cut files to my blog for everyone to use. You will find my cut files in the top right corner of my blog marked *NEW (at the top of the side bar). The instructions on how to download at the bottom of this post. I hope you all enjoy them... they've been a long time coming. The featured pic here is the "welded Snow" file. It turned out BEAUTIFUL! DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS For those of you who already own the Gypsy, here are the instructions. There is no conversion needed because these files are only .gypsy files. To save them: 1.) Connect your gypsy to your computer, turn it on and open Gypsy Sync on your computer. 2.) Once the Gypsy Sync Program has searched for an updat...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
