Hi There!

I'm over at the Trendy blog, sharing a cute little tag. I hope you all have had a chance to stop by the Trendy blog this month, the DT has been sharing baby themed projects spotlighting Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine & Chocolate Sprinkles Trendy Twine they are both so gorgeous! I'm taking a little break from the Baby projects and sharing a Birthday tag using Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine.

I made a cute little gift tag for a special girl. I used a die cut tag and a PKS stamp from KOTM for the present. I paper pieced the present using pink and brown and couldn't wait to add this fun little Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine  pom pom. I LOVE these. 

I tied a cute little bow at the top added a CDD sentiment and ALL DONE! Easy peasy!

Die Cuttin Diva's - It's all about Fall

Happy Tuesday!!

It's time for another Die Cuttin Divas Challenge. Today's challenge is all about Fall! Oh my gosh do I love this time of year! I know we're not having Fall weather yet but I'm patiently waiting :) I created a card keeping all thing Fall in mind.

I used ovals from MCT to create this cute little pumpkin, but the background is my favorite! I got out my paper crimper to create this card. I ran some kraft cardstock through the crimper and then gently rubbed white colorbox ink over the top. I then covered it in glitter embossing powder and heat embossed it. It gave the card the prettiest effect, reminds me of an old picket fence.

I embellished the pumpkin with MCT leaves and Trendy Twine - Thanksgiving Orange Truffle. For the stem I used the wood arrow stamps from Peachy Keen March 2013 KOTM and finally I printed a sentiment from my computer, used an MCT label, machine stitched the mats and used TH distress ink.

I LOVE fall! I just want those warm fall colors all around me (even though it's still in the high 90's here). I really love to decorate my home for the holidays. So I created a little Fall decor.

I started with some Mason jars and thanks to many posts on pinterest I created some fun fall decor.

I just picked up some all purpose paint in the colors I wanted and painted several coats. The yellow and orange look better than the brown because I was a little impatient and didn't wait for it to dry before photographing:( Next I took a nail file and ran it over the words and then in various spots to  give the jars a distressed look. I added some pretty fall flowers and burlap twine and a cute tag.

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas Simply Said & Fall is from Cricut Gypsy font
