October Project of the Month: Treat Tag

I have been using the Sheltering Tree stamp set a lot lately and I thought it could make a great elemental component for a Halloween tag!  And was I right!!  Look at how this stamp set surprisingly became the focal point for this super quick and easy tag idea---perfect for stamping out and creating many multiples!


The other thing I was super excited to do was reuse my stamp set that came in my September Paper Pumpkin Kit!  The little bat stamp that was included was just perfect to use to finalize this spooky scene!  If you haven't become a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber, you may want to rethink it!  For just $20 a month you get a full all-inclusive kit (including a stamp set!) delivered straight to your door!  Even when the project is completed, you can still reuse your stamp set that comes in your kit, like I did here!  Click Here to learn more about Paper Pumpkin!

OK, so this tag was really simple to make here's how:

Supply List:

Paper Dimensions:
  • Whisper White Cardstock - 2" x 4"
Directions:
  • Use the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to punch the top of your tag.
  • Ink up the tree from the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set and stamp it onto your tag.
    • Helpful Hint: Be sure to use a piece of scrap paper or even the Grid Paper under your tag so you don't get the ink from the stamp on your workstation!  The tree shape is meant to be partially stamped onto the tag!
  • I then stamped a couple bats from the September Paper Pumpkin Kit up above the tree branches and then one more time on a separate scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock.
  • I used my paper snips to trim out the bat and used a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere it "in front" of the tree.
  • Finally, I used the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Cauldron Bubble Stamp Set---but of course, you could use whatever sentiment you'd like or have.  You can even use a sentiment from the September Paper Pumpkin Kit stamp set, too!  I stamped it in Smoky Slate Classic Stampin' Ink on a scrap piece of paper and used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up at the bottom (I actually was trying to fix a creative opportunity from my initial attempt at stamping directly onto the tag and getting my sentiment all wonky...)
This tag took me less than two minutes to complete!  I think it'll be a lot of fun to stamp out a number of these for Halloween goodies!  What do you think?

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

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12!  Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!?  I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement.  So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like!  I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12.  The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

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
