Tasty Treats ~ Stamp of the Month

Who doesn't love a great deal, especially when its such an adorable one! The Stamp of the Month for September is called Just Treats and it has a sentiment for each of the upcoming seasons. For my project I did not only want to create a themed card, but I also wanted to make a cute, little container to hold something yummy! After all the stamp is named Just Treats! 😉 {I titled this post as Tasty Treats thinking that was the name of the stamp set, it is called Just Treats! Regardless of the name, it's still the cutest stamp set ever!}

All of my cards were either inspired by those in the Holiday Expressions Idea Book or the design template was found in the Make it From the Heart Volume 4 book. All of the petite containers were made on my Cricut using the Artiste cartridge.

For my first card I used the Halloween paper collection called Hello Pumpkin.

This Fall themed card uses the Grateful Heart paper collection. I love how the grey and blue paired with the traditional fall orange color was just enough to give it that Autumn feeling!

The 'Tis the Season paper collection has some traditional red and greens, but if you bring in some of those blacks it really compliments the cocoa images. Won't this purse look adorable with some marshmallows and mini candy canes inside?!

Finally, the Oh What Fun paper collection offers a bright and cheery, tiding of comfort and joy!

All of this cuteness can be yours for only $5 with a qualifying purchase! Shop for this stamp set, new paper collections and so much more online here.

It's Finally Here!

September is finally here! I'm looking forward to cooler temperatures, pumpkin flavored treats and most of all sharing the highly anticipated Holiday Expressions 2018 Idea Book! You can view the book online here and will also be able to add the Idea Book to your order online. This new book is filled with everything you will need for your Holiday crafting and beyond. It will last you through the end of December so no need to panic about getting everything you want on your wish list.

September or should I say 'Stamp'tember is a time to celebrate our love of stamping. It is National Stamping Month and Close To My Heart has put together an amazing collection of paper goodness. The Memories in the Making special has everything you need to create a 12 month scrapbooking calendar. This is great to add you family photo's to all year long and even makes a fantastic Christmas gift! I will have some videos soon showing how easily these Cut Above pages go together. If your not interested in making a calendar these pages work very well together as single or double page layouts. I will also have more artwork to show you using them for that purpose. You can get more details and all the bundle options on my website!

As always September offers a Stamp of the Month at a discounted price. Tasty Treats is an adorable stamp featuring some cute sentiments and images perfect for Halloween, Fall, Christmas, or just celebrating everyday friendship! I can't wait to show you what I created using this stamp set. Here are some images from the Idea Book to get your creativity juices flowing. Stay tuned for more on this adorable stamp set.

There are still a few more specials available this month, please visit my website to order any of those collections. I will be revealing much more from this book and all of the artwork from my Open House soon. Please come back soon for inspiration and happiness!

Frightful Friday ~ Tags & Treats

Today's post is something frightful and a few sweet treats. These tags were created from the new stamp set Fright Night. I used the haunted colors of Goldrush, Black and the new Pear green and Gypsy purple. I blinged them up a bit with some orange bubbles and black glitter.

Here are a few sweet ideas to give as treats to friends, children and co-workers!

This little goodie bag was made just for "Boo-ing" some co-workers! Hopefully they will pass on the yumm-i-ness!

The little milk carton is from a Sizzix die cut. I simply did additional stamping and dressed it up.

Instead of pretzels in this long bag I used lots of dark chocolate Hershey Kisses! So good and good for you!

Finally this little matchbox is also a Sizzix die cut. Just added some stamping and a wiggly eyed cutie!

I hope you've been enjoying the Frightful Friday posts so far. Only one more Friday to go!

Splendor Recipe Box

Next month I am hosting a workshop to create this recipe box. Close To My Heart introduced the box in the summer Idea Book and instantly I knew this would be a fabulous project. My customers and friends know that I usually have something yummy to eat when they come over for a class. Now they can create this super cute box to file those recipes of toffee or frog eye salad!

I ultimately chose the splendor papers for my box because the greens and oranges match my kitchen, but also because I absolutely love this paper pack. All the products I used are CTMH except that big fat orange ribbon. {oh, how I wish we sold more ribbon}
