Back in June, Stampin' Up!™ offered some online training for Demonstrators called Creativity Now. I participated by ordering the Nests Of Winter Suite Collection early and watching the videos for some great ideas. I finally got around to actually making the Make & Take projects the other day. I changed things up a bit on each project using different colors or different embellishments or adding some extra touches.
Here's my version of card 1. I used a different color of cardstock for the base and did some stamping on it, dry embossed the background piece, used a different color to stamp the sentiment, moved a few things around, and added a bow with some linen thread. I sent it out recently as a birthday card.

My version of card 2. I changed the color of cardstock for the sentiment and the sentiment itself. I also punched the end of the sentiment strip, colored all the berries on the stamped images, and added some linen thread and altered pearls. I used it as a birthday card as well.

The final regular Make & Take was a pretty little box. I changed mine by using copper instead of gold Enamel Effects, using a different sentiment in a different color of ink and punching the ends of the sentiment strip, changing the layout slightly, and adding a linen thread bow. I made several of these and filled them with some cinnamon plum herbal tea as extra treats for my Club Members along with their September Club Orders.

For the final, bonus project, I mostly created it as shown, but I did stamp the sentiment on an extra bit of Copper Clay cardstock and punch it out before adding it to the card front. I'm sending this card out as a thank you for a birthday gift.
