Pumpkin Tea Light

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Mix It UP! Monday and I have an upgraded version of the project I shared with you yesterday.  I used the exact same product that was used to create yesterday's project ....... but I added one additional product to bring this project up to the next stamping level.

 

My Spot Light Sunday project is on the LEFT......

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday project is on the RIGHT......

The difference is yesterday's project was a treat holder....

And today's project is a candle.....

The one additional product I added to this project was a battery operated tea light candle.

The holder that I made is a piece of cardstock that measures 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" and I scored around all four sides at 1".  That allowed the battery operated tea light to fit PERFECTLY inside the little box.

So here is what the pumpkin looks like all lite up!

 

I decided to use my craft knife to cut out the face on the pumpkin and that really brought this pumpkin project up over the top.

So there you have it friends.

Do you have a favorite?

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3-D Tuesday project with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Spot Light Sunday Pumpkin Treat Box

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a fun Halloween project I created to hand out to some special friends this year.  This project came together so quickly that I think you will still have time to make some of these before Halloween arrives tomorrow.  Let me jump right in with my project share for today.........

This fun little Pumpkin just SCREAMS OUT HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I die-cut two jars from the 'Everyday Jars Framelits' and then created a little box to sandwich between the two jars to hold some yummy treats.

I used the 'Jar of Haunts' to stamp the face on my pumpkin and then added a spooky fence from the 'Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies' at the bottom of each pumpkin. 

The insert box is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of cardstock that is scored at 2" on all four sides and then on two sides I trimmed off 1/2" from the top and bottom flap.

The Halloween treats were added to a tiny cello bag and then dropped into the center of each completed pumpkin.

A darling little project that was fun to make and even more fun to hand out.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share an upgraded version of this project with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Spooky Halloween Treat

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Normally on Saturday's I post something Paper Pumpkin related ........ but today I have a fun little Halloween treat that I made for myself and my two daughters back in Wisconsin.  I saw this project on Pinterest and immediately knew I had to make one for myself ...... and before I knew it......I was also making one for both my girls.  I just LOVE how this project turned and think you will too. 

This cute little mummy box holds a SERIOUSLY fun surprise inside.

The box unwraps by removing the belly band that I created to go around the box......

And once the lid is removed.......

TWO DARLING LITTLE MUMMIES ARE TUCKED INSIDE!

The mummies are Cadbury Eggs that are wrapped in white surgical wrap and each is nestled inside the box with the help of a tray I made for them to sit in.

 

The box is covered with the 'Halloween Night' Specialty Designer Series Paper and a SUPER CUTE mummy is stamped and punched for the front of the box.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a fun Spot Light Sunday project with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

 

 

Freaky Friday - Scissors Gifts

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is another Freaky Friday share.  I recently went to an all weekend retreat with my Phoenix/Mesa GalPals and one of the real surprises to this retreat are all the fun treats we make for each other.  Let me share with you what my very talented Phoenix/Mesa Scissors GalPals made for me.......

This gift was made by my UBER TALENTED friend Jennifer.  She made this BEYOND CUTE scarcrow that was packed full of fun surprises....... 

This OH SO YUMMY pumpkin bag was filled with some yummy pumpkin bars that my Scissors GalPal Darlene made.

Check out this FABULOUS GIFT that Melody made for me.  (WHO KNEW I LKE PINK OUT IN THE KITCHEN TOO!)

 

 

These five ADORABLE gifts were made by the Pinterest Goddess Terry.  She is just soooo creative when it comes to bringing it on at this retreat.

And these five gifts were made by the FABULOUS tag team of Donna and Kathy.  They always blow me out of the water with their darling gifts.

And this is the table gift I made for each of the ladies.  Their water bottle was covered with a fun tag ....... They each received a yummy bag of Candy Corn ..... And I also included a fun luggage tag (with their initials on the reverse side) for each friend.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a special SPOOKY SATURDAY creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!



Tag Thusday October Thank You

 Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER FESTIVE THANK YOU TAG.  Now that you have the details for this weeks Tag Thursday ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.

These were my thank you tags that I made for my customer orders in October.

I used the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set....

And my little scarecrows were colored in with my Stampin' Write Markers.

Each tag had the scarecrow nested on one of the 'Layering Circles Framelits'......

And topped off with a piece of Burlap Ribbon and tied up with a Linen Thread bow.

I made both Rich Razzleberry and Cajun Craze versions of this tag for my customers.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share some Friends Friday projects with you ....... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Wine Down Wednesdsay - Blessed

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week card feature for today will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with some motivation to keep you moving through your busy week.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........

How's this for a SPOT ON Wednesday kind-of-card!

I started this card out by creating a layered DSP panel with the help of the 'Petals and Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper' pack.  I matted my Designer Series Paper with a panel of Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze cardstock.

I then used the Paisleys and Posies stamp set on my Very Vanilla base card ...... And for a real POP of WOW ........ I used the Copper Embossing Powder on my sentiment.

And one final touch for this card was using the new (OH SO YUMMY) Copper Foil Sheets to die-cut two leaves from the 'Leaflets Framelits' set.  To create some veins for each leaf.......I used my stylus and a mouse pad on the backside of each Copper Foil leaf and hand drew in the vein lines.

So there you have it friends ...... A pretty quick and easy card to get you moving into the upcoming Fall Season.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Tag Thursday creation with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop by and let me share that project with you.  Keep Living Your Dream!
