Be Thankful + Halloween Treats

Look what I made!

I made these projects for Stampin' Up! demonstrators to get extra ideas on ways to use their stamp sets.  Lucky for you, I can share this with everyone (since I made it.)

To break down each project set I do, I'm supposed to create a project for the avid, casual, and new stamper.  So smart!  So no matter where you are on the crafting spectrum, you can create these items.

  This card is for the New Stamper.  I used the Sparkle Embossing Folder for the base of the card.  To get your pumpkin all cute and colored, after you stamp your pumpkin, use your sponge dauber (in a circular motion) to color the inside.

  This project is for the Casual Stamper.  I bought these adorable straws at my local craft store and couldn't wait to use them.   To get the criumpled olive banner, literally crumple up your paper.

  This treat box is for the Avid Stamper.  There are lots of things going on with this project but that's the only reason it's for the avid stamper.
  
Let me know what you think!

This is my facebook project for the Stampin' Up! board for October:

I love Fall!  In Utah the leaves turn vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows before they fall off the trees to welcome Winter.  We are having unseasonably warm weather so far so I felt it was only fitting to create a bright, warm, sparkly card.

*note*  To create the banner that goes around the circles under the 'thx' simply choose two sizes of circles to layer.  My biggest circl is 2".  The part of the banner that is going to go over the circles needs to measure 1/8" bigger than your biggest circle.  So mine is 2-1/8" between the scores lines.  Score 1/4" on either side of your banner so it folds under your circle.  Does that make sense?  If not, I might have to make a video tutorial.

One of the many trends right now are feathers.  Have you caught on yet?  I'm catching on.

Am I the only person on the planet that doesn't own an e-cutter yet?  I'd love to have a Silhouette Cameo but...  One day.

One day.

Until then, I'll have to go the old fashion route and print my items from MDS, cut them out, and use them as a template.  It's a little bit more work but totally worth the end result.

Is it really October already?  Since I'm *trying* to stay a month ahead on project, it should be no suprise that even though we'll be eating TONS of candy for Halloween, all projects will be about giving thanks, fall, and harvest.

I. Am. In. Love.

The new Expressions Thinlits Dies: GET YOURS NOW!!!

 

 

This is probably one of the easiest cards to create.

To get the cool look of the leaves, separate 1 leaf.  How do you do that?  Smash, crinkle, and crumple your paper.  You'll notice that the edges of your leave are starting to separate and peel apart from each other.  Slowly peel the papers apart to get 2 leaves.  Squish/fold the middle of the leave so it gives it a little more dimension and helps it to pop off the page.  Glue dots and dimensionals on the back will help your leaf stay put.
