Pumpkin Tote

My friend made some cute pumpkin to toes, which inspired me to make some of my own!  I started with two Tangerine Tango scallop circles, cut out with the Big Shot die and embossed them with the new Lacy Brocade embossing folder from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I also cut out two leaves from the Autumn Accents die and embossed them with the spiderweb embossing folder.  I added the sentiment from the Day of Gratitude stamp set and a 1/2" x 5" strip of Olive Olive for the handle.

For the box I used a 5" x 5-1/2" piece of tangerine tango and scored at 1" on each side on the 5-1/2" side and then at 2" and 3" on the 5" side.  I counted 8 scallops and then scored the scallop circle to wrap around the bottom of the tote.

One week left until Halloween!

Day of Gratitude stamp set

Be My Valentine

Just one stamp makes this card beautiful: Be My Valentine! To make this card I used the Scallop Circle and circle Sizzix dies and popped them up on dimensionals. I added a strip of whisper white punched with the dotted scallop ribbon border punch. I used the DSP from the Filled with Love Promotion and added a Pretty in Pink satin bow.

Surprise Pop-Up Card

This was such a fun card to make! I love cards that have little surprises in them! The directions for this card can be found here. I used soft suede, so saffron, mellow moss, and brocade blue with the Friends 24-7 stamp set. Here is what it looks like when you pull the tag.

Here is my video tutorial of how to create a Surprise Pop-Up Card:

Cottage Bird Thank You Card

I used the new Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing folder to create the background for this card. I love to run my fingers over the texture after I run it through my Big Shot! I ran some Cottage Wall DSP and some rich razzleberry through the Big Shot with the Bird w/Leaves and Flower die to create the bird and its shadow. I added some rich razzleberry to the flower and adhered them to a Scallop Circle. I added "Thanks" from the beautiful Kind & Caring Thoughts level 3 Hostess stamp set on a piece from the Matchbox die and a rich razzleberry modern label.

Circle Circus Scallop Envelope Box

Here is the box that I made with the Scallop Envelope die! It's super easy to make! I started with two scallop envelopes and attached them to a strip of 2 3/4" x 12" kraft cardstock scored at 2 1/4", 5 1/2", 7 3/4" and 11". I corner rounded the edges of the flap and stamped the Circle Circus stamps all around the box before finally adhering it together. I created the top by wrapping a piece of bashful blue striped ribbon around the top and layering the scallop circle stamp in different colors and punching them out with different size circle punches.

I love how the scallop flaps look when you open the box. Now it's ready to fill with candy, chocolate, jewelry or any other great gift!

Circle Circus Card #2

Here is my next Circle Circus card that I found here. I layered the scallop circle by stamping it in chocolate chip, old olive, regal rose, and rose red and then punching each one out with a different size circle and placing dimensionals in between each layer. I used the polka dot background on the regal rose and wrapped some regal rose ribbon around the layer!

Tomorrow I will share the Circle Circus Topiary card that we are making tonight at my New Catalog Open House, so stay tuned!

Gift Jar

I love saving glass jars to decorate and use as gifts.  I washed out this artichoke jar and wrapped some Sweet Always DSP and chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon around it.  I added some more ribbon around the lid and topped the lid with a scallop circle cut with a sizzix die and some more layers of Sweet Always, a scallop and the flower from the Always stamp set.  To complete the gift, I filled it with some yummy chocolate!  So, start saving those glass jars!
