Talk about the ultimate recycling project. For this technique, cover your cardstock completely with adhesive. I don't like using spray adhesive, so I just covered it with rows and rows of Snail and it worked great. Press a used dryer sheet onto the adhesive, trim the extra, and then cover the dryer sheet with glitter. Quick but impressive. 
I modeled these after some samples we saw at the Louisville Stampin' Up! Regional earlier in the fall. I am afraid these might not make it onto any of my packages this year because they are just too cute! The stamp club ladies each got to make one last week. I have my favorite, but it was fun to see which stitched felt pieces we ran out of first. 
Here's a new way to use an embossing folder. Emboss the top and then the bottom of your cardstock, but not the entire piece. This Snow Burst embossing folder from the Holiday Mini is a consistent pattern and looks nice broken up with the solid band - a perfect place for the Jolly Holiday stamp. 
With a few score lines using the Simply Scored tool, this is a pretty quick but fancy looking card. But the part I really like is the belly band. Did you notice the Dazzling Details on the berries is red? Mix reinker into the Dazzling Details and make your own custom color. 
I love using the treat cups with the mica flakes from the Holiday Mini Catalog. And this is a card version of a project I saw at convention this summer. They actually put the treat cup on a stick and made a sucker, but we went ahead and made this into a card for stamp club. The outline came from the Perfect Pennant die, and it's just the perfect size. And the tree was made with the Pennant Parade stamp set and trimmed down to make the tiny tree. A little Dazzling Details on the snow and it's ready to go!
