Throwback Thursday: Cookie-Cutter Halloween Part 1

Happy Thursday, Friends!  I hope that today finds you well and happy!  I'm pleased as punch, but that's because I got a chance to use an old set that I really didn't give myself a chance to play with when I first got it.

Have you seen the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set and the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch in the Annual Catalog?  (If you haven't seen it, you can view it online here.)  This set was carried over from last Holiday and I bought it along with the "sister" set, the Cookie-Cutter Halloween Stamp Set.  It's all just too cute and if you have this set from last year, then get excited to bust it out and use it with a few of this year's goodies!  It truly mixes so well with this year's gorgeous DSP and new stamp sets, so I think I'll incorporate this set into a few upcoming Throwback Thursday posts!

Well, here's what I made with this set for you today:


I merely stamped, colored, and punched out the little Scarecrow Man and placed him alongside the fussy-cut pumpkins from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper onto some strips of Wood Texture Designer Series Paper that I layered to look like planks.  I made an attempt at stamping "Gather Together & Give Thanks" from the Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set using the Craft Stampin' Ink in Whisper White, but I'm not totally crazy how it turned out.  What are your thoughts?

I could see this adorable Scarecrow mixed in with giant sunflowers or all the pumpkins, who knows!  To give this card a shot here's what I used:

Drop me a line and let me know how you'd incorporate this set into this year's goodies and maybe we'll work together on a concept for next week!

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month.  Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception!  I saw her use the  Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  and make a pie card!  It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends!  PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!!  So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and  the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog!  So you'll be a step ahead of the new products!  Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Tutorial Tuesday: VIA Coffee Holder

Are you following me on Pinterest yet??  If not, please do!  There's a bunch of amazing goodness there!  One of which, is an extremely popular pin---my VIA Coffee Holder. I enjoy trying new things and one day, while wondering the aisles of my local Target, I stumbled upon these new little packages of coffee, called "VIA".  It's by Starbucks and they are instant coffee singles.  Whhaaat!!?  Naturally, (because I'm a victim of marketing) I bought some.  Then I thought, These are so cute!  I want to do something with them and my Coffee Cafe Suite!   After that, my VIA Coffee Holder/Folder (whatever you want to call it) was born. I imagine you can see why this is not just my  most re-pinned pin, but it's pretty popular on Pinterest, in general.  Woot! Now, my friends, I will show you how to make your own with my Tutorial Tuesday! Supply List: Cardstock (I used Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake for the samples above) Check out the Coffee

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!  I hope that your week is going well!  Can you believe that August is half-way over??  I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week!  Eek!  I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households.  (Or all households, really.  I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush!  I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile!  You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
