Ride with Me to a Colour Challenge!

Hey there!  So glad you could stop buy today!  

I am going to share a card I made with one of my all time favourite bundles that I used to join the challenge fun over at SUO Challenges.

SUOC 234: Coloring

Its a colouring challenge!  Whop Whop!  The Ride with me Bundle is perfect for a colouring challenge.

Whether you need a birthday card, a Thanksgiving card or a Christmas card, this stampset and bundle have you covered.

The past weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada and so of course, I used the cute little pumpkins with a Balmy Blue pickup truck for a Thanksgiving card for my sister-in-law - she was hosting the big turkey dinner this year.  I just love how it turned out!  (She really liked it too. )  :)

My first choice in colouring tools are always my Stampin' Blends.  They make me look like a true artist.  You just can't go wrong.  For this card, I used Balmy Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate, Basic Black and Old Olive (on the tiny leaves).  I framed the harvest pickup truck by cutting it out with the Stitched Rectangle dies.

My card layers are Balmy Blue Card base, a layer of Whisper White and then a layer of Balmy Blue DSP.  The Pickup Truck is on Whisper White and the frame around it is Pumpkin Pie.

From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Fabulous Fall with Roger's Daytime TV!

Hello Stampers,

Thanks for stopping by today, I am SO glad you did!  I have been a bit behind on my blogging and have so many great things to show you in the next couple of weeks - I have been really busy in my craft room.

Today, I want to give you the details of my Thanksgiving TV appearance with Roger's Daytime.  I always LOVE preparing for and being on the show!  It is such an honour every. single. time!  I am so very proud to say, I am starting my fifth season with this fabulous production.

For Thanksgiving, there were SO many great products to choose from, it was hard to decide.  Below are the products I chose....

My very first product I wanted to show and display was a kit. It is the Season to Season Wreath - 3 seasons wrapped in one kit - very economical and a lot of fun to put together.

I wanted to create some thanksgiving / fall inspired hostess thank you gifts.  So, one of first thoughts was to create a wine bottle tag with some of our new fab options from the Holiday Catalog!  Here is one I made using some Early Espresso and Tangelo Twist cardstock, Into the Woods DSP, Happy Scenes Stampset, Cotton Ribbon and and Into the Woods Embelishment.

I also made lots and lots of treat bags.  I make sure I have enough for the hosts of the show and the camera crew - they are so lovely to work with, so they deserve a little treat!  I made 4 different types of tags.  Here is a close up of three and the forth is the background of my wine bottle tag photo - to the right.  Sorry, I didn't get a close up of that one for some reason. lol.  It had punch art pumpkin on it.

Anyway, I used some more fab products, the Acorny Thank you Stampset and matching punch, Among the Branches Stampset, Vintage Leaves with matching framelits and the Cheer all Year Stampset.  I used the Ornate tag topper punch - it helps making tags SO much faster - think Christmas gift tags!  

The bags themselves were some of our 4x6 Cello bags and others were made with the Muslin bags!  We made the Muslin bags live on air and we stamped right onto them using Vintage Leaves stampset.  We also made the and the Pumpkin punch art tag live on air as well.

I also made 3 different sized paper pumpkins - they are fun to make. I added some more leaves and some curled cardstock on top to help with the pumpkin look. 

And last, my favourite - a K-cup holder!  I will start by saying the idea of a K-cup holder was not mine.  Eric Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs came up with this beauty!  You can watch her video tutorial here.  This project starts with the Tag a Bag Gift boxes, which I have overlooked in the Annual Catalogue thousands of times - not any more!

 

I decorated mine differently, using the products I was highlighting for the show.  More Vintage Leaves, Among the Branches greeting and some more Into the Woods DSP.  I added an Early Espresso Deco Label to frame my greeting and some new cotton ribbon.  

Inside the box are three different pumpkin flavoured coffees, perfect for your host to enjoy after the big cleanup!  I know I will be making more of these!  And can't you just see these decorated up for Christmas!  My oh my!  

I hope all of my Canadian friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving and my American friends will be enjoying theirs soon!

I am looking forward to making some fun and spooky Halloween displays for my next appearance on Daytime later this month.  But, until then, please stop by to see the other projects I have been working on.  

Happy Stampin'

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!
