Cat's Out of the Bag: It's WOW Wednesday!!!

Cat's Out of the Bag Project Tutorial


Maybe it should be titled "Cats On The Bag?"  Regardless, the cats in the Toil and Trouble Product Suite are cute but sly grin.  And the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper (DSP) has a purrrr-fectly feline background print.  I also almost forgot about the Cat Punch!  I would have needed some black magic to remedy my mishap had I forgotten the punch!  But wait, stamping on fabric?  Why yes!  The Santa's Bags were borrowed from the Santa's Workshop Product Suite.  Curious how it's done?  Full instructions below!

Batty for Boxes Project YouTube Tutorial


Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

BAT BOX!!!!

Ok, had to get that out 😉

There are so many great 3D products that Stampin' Up! has to offer, but this one is super versatile.  Last year I made a pop-up gift box out of one.  They also fit 3" x 3" Note Card perfectly.  And edible treats?  No problem!  The inside is lined with a stain resistant coating, so cookies and goodies can abound!  And what about this Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper?  I opted to leave it white, but you can easily sponge on any color to make a beautiful sunset or an erie night sky.  What ideas do you have?  View the video below to see how easy it is to make this great project.
