Thanksgiving with Roger's TV

Hello everyone,

Thank you for stopping by!  

This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada and I had the great honour of spending some time with my friends on the Roger's TV show Daytime show yesterday to celebrate!  

I had a great time doing some papercrafting and sharing the beautiful products Stampin'UP! has to offer for this very festive time of year.

I thought you might like to see the things we created and that I had on display.  

First, a picture of my whole display

 

This picture is the front of a wine bottle tag that we made live on the show!  Picture it on a beautiful wine bottle - I had left mine at home and forgot to bring it for the show!  ;)  Wouldn't it be nice to decorate a bottle of wine for your hostess?

 

  

This is a little bit of home decor.  I created this picture in a small frame that I found at the dollar store!  Great added touch for your festivities.  I used my Autumn Leave Bigz die to make lots of leaves for my display table, my Oval Framleits for the pumpkin and my Decorative Label Punch for my greeting.

 

This is a picture of treat holder made using the new Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die!  I just LOVE these!  I thought this on would be great for a place setting on your table.  I added a little DSP for some interest. 

This picture is a little turkey I created using the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die and some of punches and Framelits.  I CASED the idea from Debbie Henderson - be sure to stop by her blog and see all of the great things she has made using this Thinlits Die!

The next picture is an invitation that I had made.  We didn't have enough time to make it live on the show, but we did point it out for the views to see - I even made a special envelope using my Envelope Punch Board - it just makes it extra special!

More Curvy Keepsake boxes and tags using the Merry Everything Stampset and matching Punch!  With the bundle you save 15%!  This set will take you from Thanksgiving right through to Christmas!  LOVE it!

I made the boxes using all of the colours I had for the show - fun 'pumkins' in every colour!  I used my Gorgeous Grunge stampset to get the lines on them.  And added different accessories like twine, ribbon and those adorable mini clothes pins!

Well, I hope the projects I made will inkspire you to add some handmade touches to your Thanksgiving festivites!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wine Bottle Tag with The Friday Mashup FMS 181!

 

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying your Thanksgiving celebrations.

This week I had the great pleasure of papercrafting on the Roger's TV show Daytime!  One of the projects I made live was a wine bottle tag!  I thought it was a perfect match to submit to the challenge over at The Friday Mashup!  There are some really great tags for all of the upcoming holidays!  Be sure to stop on over and have a look!

These are so great to dress up a wine bottle for your hostess!  It just gives an added personal touch which is always appreciated for any occasion. 

I used a 3 1/2 inch by 8 1/2 inch piece of Soft Suede Cardstock and I rounded the corners.  I scored the cardstock on the long side at 3 1/2 inches to create the part that hangs you put onto the neck of the wine bottle.  I punch a hole in the short end using my 2 1/2 inch circle punch.

For the decorative part of the tag, I used the Colour Me Autumn DSP from the new Holiday Catalogue - there are SO many really beautiful patterns in this pack!  I rounded the bottom corners to match the cardstock.  

I added a strip of Burlap ribbon and cut the ends to make it look like a banner.  The leaf I made using More Mustard Cardstock and my Autumn Accents BigZ die.  I sponged it to make it look a little worn.  I added a bow using the 3/8 inch Stitched Satin Ribbon in Mossy Meadow found in the Annual Catalogue.  For an added touch I used a little acorn from the Autumn Wooden Elements found in the Holiday Catalogue.

I think it would be nice to receive a wine bottle with a handmade tag for Thanksgiving, wouldn't you?

Thank you for stopping by!  Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see all of the other projects that I made with the crew from Roger's TV Daytime!

Fall Card with The Friday Mahsup - # FM177

Hello there my Stampin' friends,

Thanks for stopping by!  The Friday Mashup has a Fall challenge this week!  I am SO excited!  I just love this time of year - yes it's busy, I mean really busy, but I love the routine and I love the feeling in the air that holidays are just around the corner and most of all I LOVE the weather!  So many beautiful things to see and the leaves - OH I just love the leaves and all of their colour.

So....I felt up to the challenge of a fall 'inkspired' card and of course I chose to put some leaves on it! lol

I started with an Early Espresso card base, then a layer Pear Pizzaz.  I used a narrow strip of some retired fall DSP and I used my Autumn Accents Bigz Die to make the leaves.  I added some sponging using Early Espresso to give them some definition.  My greeting is the Label of Love stampset with the coordinating punch - Artisan Label.  I used my punch to cut an extra label in Early Espresso and cut it in half to create a 'border' of sorts.  Last but not least, I added a twine bow!

Here is my card.....   

 

So hop on over to The Friday Mashup to see what everyone has create!

Happy Stampin'

Mixed Bunch with Pals Paper Arts #PPA219

Good morning!  Happy Saturday to you.

 

It's definitely starting to feel like fall here in Ontario.  The leaves have started turning colour, the nights are getting really cool and I needed to pull long pants and hoodies out for the kids to wear this week at school!

So.....when Pals Paper Ats came up with a fall colour combo for their challenge this week, I just had to take advantage of it!  I didn't have the exact colours that the 'recipe' called for, so I hope I haven't broken any rules. But I thought I would give it a try anyway!

When I think fall, I think of those big beautiful sunflowers - so I just had to include one in my card.  I thought the Crushed Curry was the perfect colour and the Mixed Bunch stampset and matching punch (Blossom Punch) were ideal to make a great sunflower!  I love that you can punch out the flower center as well using the 1" circle punch - easy!  The leaves for my flower were made using the Autumn Accents Bigz Die.

I used up some of my retired Designer Series Paper - I AM addicted to that stuff!  lol  This paper in particular is from last year's Christmas DSP - I just love that it doesn't say Christmas and I LOVE those polka dots!  

Here is my card.........

What do you think?

I improvised a little with Old Olive instead of Always Artichoke and I used Baked Brown Sugar in place of Cajun Craze - it was as close as I had.

My greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and I finished it off with a large candy dot I had in my stash.

Be sure to stop by Pals Paper Arts to see all of the wonderful creations there!

Happy Stampin'

There are a lot of things going on here!  There is bigshotting, dry embossing, stamping and sponging!

 

I have been waiting for just the right opportunity to use the Core'dinations cardstock.  One word - AWESOME!  I ran it through the bigshot with my Woodgrain Embossing Folder and  the work was done for me.  Love this! 

 

I stamped with Gorgeous Grunge on the Vey Vanilla layer as well as used the Yippie-Skippie! Stampset for the greeting.  I sponged using Early Espresso on the edges of the leaves and the greeting.
