Scentsational Quilted Card

Lots and Lots of texture going on here.  I’m not sure if you can see it but I put the squares on the Top Note die, cut it out and ran it through the Big Shot using the Fan embossing folder.  Not to mention that the Early Espresso layer is embossed with the Square Lattice folder, the mug is heat embossed with the yummy Sugar and Spice embossing powder and there are rhinestones.  Overboard!  But I like it. 
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Scentsational Season, Greetings of the Season
Card stock – Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Be of Good Cheer DSP
Ink – Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Etc – Fan and Square Lattice embossing folder, Sugar and Spice embossing powder, Top Note Die, 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 square punches, hobby blade, rhinestones
Hope you do too!  Hugs, Fran

Santa Owl

Santa Owls on covered clothespins, holding little Petite Pocket Treats.  Thought I’d show you two of them because the one on the right is the one that works best.  The Tagged for Christmas tag on the left is too high – making it harder to open the package.  To do the tag – Dimensionals are placed just on the bottom so that the flap on the Petite Pocket can just tuck in.  Here’s a side view. 
Supplies (Tag)
Stamp Set – Tagged for Christmas
Card stock – Real Red, Whisper White
Stampin Write Markers – Real Red, Basic Black, Gumball Green
Etc – 1 1/4 square punch, Scallop Square punch, Petite Pocket die, Argyle embossing folder

Punches – Owl Punch, Bird punch, Word Window punch, 1/4 square punch

Perfectly Preserved

I made these to be name tags for my Thanksgiving table following Kay’s directions.  They are so cute!  The only changes I made were tying the tops with burlap instead of ribbon and adding a way to lift the lid. 

(That’s a piece of Word Window punch.)  Won’t my table look festive? 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfectly Preserved
card stock – Very Vanilla, Orchard Harvest DSP, Regals pack
