How stunning is this Mini Treat Bag card!  The golden tone of Delightful Dijon is perfect for fall and these gorgeous leaf stamps.

I almost went with this as just a treat bag, but changed my mind!  In the end, I felt this would be a gorgeous way to tell everyone at Thanksgiving how grateful I am for them by leaving this on their dinner plates.

Lighthearted Leaves Thanks and Giving

The leaves were done with the emboss resist technique, one leaf in Delightful Dijon and one in Soft Suede.  The sentiment was stamped in the bold Early Espresso which compliments Delightful Dijon nicely.

I also added in a few golden details, the Gold Metallic Thread and a few sequins....they are perfect finishing touches!

    What a lovely idea, Nicole! I think I'll make these for Thanksgiving, too! I really love the tab on the card...wouldn't have thought of that.
    Thanks, Cheryl

    Thank you so much Cheryl! The tab was so easy to do with the File Tab Edgelit, I don't use them nearly enough!

    I just love your envelope. And those leaves WOW. I'm playing with my new stamp sets today and was wondering what paper you used to make it. Thanks for sharing.

Let's get ready for Halloween!

Image
I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along wit...

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confe...
