Here are my two projects I created for the HOP! The first one is a "Pleated Front Card."
Creative Nugget: I began with a craft card base and stamped the snowflakes and swirls from the "Snowflake Flourish" clear stamp set with Fresh Snow ink. The card front was then scored and pleated. Each edge was sponged with Fresh Snow ink and pierced. The "Winter Friends" digi was sized to fit the front of the card and colored with copic markers. Polar White Flower Soft, Diamond Stickles, a snowflake die, and several small gems add sparkle and texture to finish the card.
Here is what the inside of the card looks like. This was a unique and fun fold to work with and is one of the techniques included in the new 3D and Fun Folds CD!
For my next project I used the "Goodie Box Tutorial."
Creative Nugget: This is what the front of the box looks like. A border punch was used for the edges. The die cut candle image is from the beautiful "Christmas Light" clear stamp set and was colored with copic markers. Graphic 45 DP was used to decorate the front panel. Some Glossy Accents was used on the berries and the candle drips.
Here is another view of the "Goodie Box" so you can see the dimensions of the box better.
I decided to fill my "Goodie Box" with little tea light candles since it fit the theme of my card. When you open the box...
you will see a little pocket with a message tag on the left and a package of tea light candles on the right. The wonderful thing about this fun fold is that it can be adapted to fit any occasion and makes such a lovely gift!
Your next stop on the hop is Jackie Kalchert, but just in case there are any hiccups, here is the whole list of celebrants on this Blog Hop!
Thanks for stopping by today...enjoy hopping!!

Really nice projects again. That snowman stamp is a must have!
Two beautiful projects. The front pleated card is so elegant and the box is fabulous for a gift.
Both are fabulous Cathy. The card looks so elegant! I didn't think I liked that technique, but you convinced my otherwise! The images are awesome and great embellishments. :o)
Wonderful projects! Love the stitiching on your card. Very unique fold.
Love both projects. The goodie box is so pretty and the card looks so much like an envelope. Too cool.
I've got plans to make that goodie box!!
I love the colors of your card -- blue and kraft/brown look so pretty together. And that goodie box is very clever.
Cute projects. I love the first one. I am going to have to figure that one out. Thanks for the inspiration.
Both of these projects are beautiful! I love the pleated front card

OMGosh...your projects are just amazing! I absolutely love that sweet and sassy snowman on your pleated front card and the "goodie box" is gorgeous! I'm adding myself to your followers.
These are beautiful Cathy - I especially like how you colored the snowman in your first card. I just got that set thanks to Korin's generous sale and I am psyched to ink it up! :)
Love the piercing on the pleated card and the colors are so pretty and soft. The goodie box is lovely, like the candle. Can't imagine anybody not being thrilled to get this!

These are really great. So much fun. And I enjoyed checking out a couple of your older entries and really liked the turkey box and the telescoping Nativity card. Very cool!
