Jack-O-Lantern Mini Curvy Keepsake Box

Hello everyone!  Here it is...Wednesday already!  I'm excited because I only have one thing to do today so I'll have lots of creating time...YAY!  I hope you're having a wonderful day!

I have a project from my September classes to share with you today and it's a PERFECT little Halloween treat for your children, their classrooms, neighbors, party favors...alright, you get the idea!  They're PERFECT...and simple too!

This super cute jack-o-lantern is made with the new Mini Curvy Keepsake Box die.  I used the Harvest Hellos stamp set to stamp his face in Memento Black ink!  I used the Boo to You stamp set for the sentiment, stamping it in Memento Black in and punching it out with the 1" circle punch.  The leaf is cut and embossed with the Gathered Leaves dies. I used Call Me Clover Grosgrain Ribbon and Linen Thread to finish it of!  Isn't he ADORABLE!  

SO SIMPLE...but oh so CUTE!!





Well...I'm off to do the one thing I have to do today, a meeting for our ladies group at church.  THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by today!!! I hope you find time to create today and if you need any of these supplies click on SHOP NOW at the top right of this blog!  Have a FANTASTIC day!

Pigment Sprinkles & Gathered Together

Hello there!  Happy Tuesday NIGHT!  I'm finally getting my Tuesday's Tip video published...between hair appointments, classes and volleyball games I'm LATE!!

But...it's BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!  ENJOY!

Here are the three leaves! The top one had TOO MANY Pigment Sprinkles!

The bottom two are on Watercolor paper and Whisper White cardstock!

These Pigment Sprinkles are super fun...I hope you'll give them a try!

To create the card I used a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of Merry Merlot cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".  My top layer is a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock that I stamped and cut the leaf out of!  I attached a 3" X 3" piece of Come Together designer paper to the cardbase so it will show through the leaf cutout, with snail adhesive.  Next, I stamped the flecks in Mango Melody, Merry Merlot and Pumpkin Pie ink onto the Whisper White layer as well as the Gather Together sentiment...both are from the Gather Together stamp set.  Before attaching it to the card base I added some Crushed Curry Crinkled Seam Binding to the same layer.  It is attached with dimensional.  Last, I attached the leaf I created with Pigment Sprinkles with dimensional and then leaves cut using the Gathered Leaves dies and Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz and Crushed Curry cardstock!  Don't you just LOVE fall and all the colors that start erupting from the trees and shrubs!  This card totally has that feel!

Thanks so much for stopping by tonight!  Sleep well and have a GREAT day tomorrow!

Gather Together Copper Dotted Treat Bag

Good Morning everyone! It's a beautiful day in my little mountain town...a cool crisp morning!  FALL IS IN THE AIR and I LOVE IT!!

Speaking of FALL...I have a really cute gift bag to share with you this morning!  

I used the a Copper Dotted Treat Bag and the NEW Gather Together Bundle to stamp and cut the GORGEOUS leaves!  I chose Pretty Peacock, Pear Pizzazz and Merry Merlot for the leaves...stamping the large leaf with the Gather Together stamp set and Pretty Peacock Ink before cutting them out with the Gathered Leaves Dies.  The two small leaves are embossed as they are cut and are so beautiful! Last, I tied it together with Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon after filling it with special treats!!  

The bags are in the Annual catalog and the Gather Together Bundle is in the NEW Holiday Catalog!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - The Gift of Fall

Hello everyone and WELCOME to this evenings Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!  The kit this month is The Gift of Fall with a fun gift bag.  It also has an awesome add-on with 24 cards and 24 envelopes just in case you'd rather make cards. This months kit is one of my favorites! Here's what I created!

Of course I used one of the bags, but changed it up a bit by adding leaves that I cut with the Gathered Leave dies in the NEW Holiday Catalog.  I also layered fun matching ribbons to the top of the tag and slipped the leaves underneath!

My next project is a basic A2 card with a 4 1/2" X 8 1/2" Pretty Peacock base.  I LOVE this color! Layer one is a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. It is topped with a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of Crushed Curry cardtock that I embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. It is attached with dimensionals.  The tag is from the kit and is also attached with dimensionals. I used a vellum leaf (from the kit) and a sprig of Crumb Cake leaves (also from the kit) and the upcoming Gather Together stamp set and Gathered Leaves dies to stamp and cut a few more leaves.  To finish it off I tied Linen Thread and White Bakers Twine into a bow and attached it to the top with a glue dot.

My favorite project is a card I created with the add-on kit.  The card base has beautiful color on the front. Using a  3 1/8" X 4 5/8" piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock I stamped a leaf in the center using the Gather Together stamp set.  I cut it out with the Gathered Leave dies and then embossed the frame with the Subtle Embossing folder and attached it to the card base with dimensionals. The vellum sprig is from the kit as are the gold sequins. I added metallic pearls to the centers of the sequins.  Last, I cut leaves from Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze cardstock and layered each one with dimensionals and added a Linen Thread bow to the stems.   

Here's a visual of how I stamped and cut...just in case I didn't make sense!  lol!

...and here are pictures of the add-on kit and the monthly kit!
