Hello Fall it's pumpkin spice latte season

It's fall and time for all those pumpkin spice drinks, donuts and muffins.  This is my favorite time of year. I am so delighted that the Holiday Catalog has a new stamp set to coordinate with the Coffee Cup Framelits.

The Painted Autumn DSP has some beautiful patterns and colors.  Watch my video to see how I stamped the leaves to get that variation of color.  This is FALL in a cup!!!

Cute Quilted Mini Pizza Box & Notecards

Today I have a great project using the Mini Pizza Boxes and the Christmas Quilt Bundle from the new Holiday Catalog.  I wasn't to sure I would like the pizza boxes when they first came out but they are really cute.  You can fill them with notecards, cookies, candy, whatever you'd like.  The gold glimmer paper adds an elegant touch to the project.

The Christmas Quilt Bundle isn't just for Christmas.  I just love this set.  Its so versatile and can be used for any project.  I made 3x3 notecards to put inside the pizza box.  These are done with the Night of Navy and Real Red and I layered the frame over them.

I didn't put the frame on these 3 cards and I think they are pretty and simple.  The first was stamped in Emerald Envy and Peekaboo Peach.  The second stamped in Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight and the third was done in Pear Pizzaz and Daffodil Delight.

September Paper Pumpkin

The September Paper Pumpkin is beautiful!!!  I love that I can do the Paper Pumpkin anywhere.  I did this kit while hanging with my Dad while my Mom was out.  He has dementia so he can't be by himself.  I brought my Paper Pumpkin kit and sat at the kitchen table and crafted away while Dad slept. 

I'll take you through the steps I followed. First is to open the kit. It has everything you need except paper snips. I did use a few of my clear blocks and my snail to move things along a little faster.

Look at all the goodness in the kit! The supplies give you everything you need to make 8 packages and 8 cards.

First I punched out all the die cuts from the sheets. They were easy to just pull apart from the sheets.

Next I did my stamping. I stamped the leaf image on the punched out leaves.

I stamped all the tags for the cards. Don't you love the gold accent on the bottom. I had a few clear blocks so I was able to mount each stamp on a separate block. This is not necessary if you don't have additional blocks.

I stamped the tags for the packages. I realized that it was easier to stamp and then punch them out :)

Stamping completed, now time to assemble.

Here's the final product.  Aren't they beautiful???
