Fall Treats

Hey everybody!  Today I am sharing a fun fall treat idea.  I have a card, and treat holder that is sure ot brighten up anyone's day.

My projects feature products from the Color Theory product suite in the Annual Catalog, and also a couple of items from the Holiday Catalog.

My card starts with an Old Olive card base.  I stamped the solid leaf from the Colorful Seasons stamp set, in Old Olive.  This stamp set is on sale.  (Today is the last day!)  I have also stamped the detailed leaf from that set, in Cajun Craze.  Then I cut a piece of Old Olive Color Theory Designer Series Paper, with the crackled design, matted it with Cajun Craze, and attached it to the side of my card.  Next I cut out 3 detailed leaves from the coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlit Dies in Cajun Craze.  I attached 1 whole leaf over the designer series paper.  The other two I positioned in such a way that I was able to cut them, and use them twice.  For my greeting, I punched out a Whisper White Everyday Label Punch.  I then stamped the label with my greeting, from the Colorful Seasons stamp set, in Cajun Craze.  I used the small solid leaf stamp and Old Olive ink to decorate the label a bit.  I swirled some Jute Twine behind my label, and attached the whole thing to my card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For my little treat, I filled a Treat Tube from the Holiday Catalog with candy corn.  I then used the Seasonal Layers Thinlit Dies to cut out one detailed leaf in Old Olive, and one small solid leaf in Cajun Craze.  I attached both leaves to the tube with a little bit of Tear & Tape Adhesive.  At the top, I used some more Jute Twine to make a bow.

I hope you liked my projects.

12 Weeks of Christmas - #12

Hey everyone!  Today, I am starting a new series here on my blog.  We will be counting down the weeks until Christmas.  Each week I will feature a card, and another coordinating item.  Can you believe there are only a little over 12 weeks until Christmas?  I can't!

Here is this weeks project:

My projects feature some prodcuts from the Color Theory product suite in the annual catalog.  For my card, I started with a Dapper Denim card base.  I added some of the Dapper Denim & Whisper White crackled designer series paper from the Color Theory pack.  On the DSP, I used Dapper Denim and Pool Party inks to stamp some snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.  I also cut out one of each snowflake from the Seasonal Layers thinlits, for more texture.  I love the look of the Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon on the side.  My greeting comes from the Labels to Love stamp set, and was punched out using the Everyday Label Punch.  Both of these items are from the holiday catalog.

My little treat box is a Clear Tiny Treat Box found on page 195 of the annual catalog.  I filled it with some Hershey kisses.  I liked that the silver wrapper of the candies, coordinated with the silver on the card ribbon.  I wrapped some of the same designer series paper as what is on the card, around the box.  A simple baker's twine wrap and bow, and a tag finishes of this quick treat.  The tag features the same Everyday Label Punch, this time paired with the Merry Little Labels stamp set stamped in Dapper Denim.  In the background, I have stamped some of the snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set, in Pool Party.

Summer Fun

Hey there!  Happy Monday!  I hope you had a great weekend.

Today, at Stylin' Stampin' Inskpiration we are sharing some summer fun ideas.  I knew right away that I wanted to use that great Adirondack chair from the Seasonal Layers dies set.  Those dies, and the Colorful Season stamp set are just good to have in your arsenal of crafting supplies.  They will take you through any season, and you can add any kind of greeting you might need. 

Here is my card:

I started with a 3.75" x 5' piece of whisper white paper.  I sponged Crumb Cake ink onto the bottom, and then stamped the sand from the High Tide stamp set in Crumb Cake on top.  I added the grass from the High Tide set, in Soft Suede, after it had been stamped off on my grid paper.  In the middle section, I sponged Marina Mist ink, and topped it with the water stamp from High Tide, also in Marina Mist.  On the top, I sponged Soft Sky, and then added clouds with the Embossing Paste and Pattern Party Decorative Masks.  I stamped my greeting in Basic Black Archival Ink.  Last, but definitely not least I added the Adirondack chair that I cut out of the Wood Textures 6x6 paper stack.

Be sure to head over to Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration to see what the other summer fun ideas the design team members are showing.

Thanks for stopping by!
