HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!

I love fall...I KNOW; I live in Southwest Arizona so HOW can that be?! You're right, no falling leaves, no chill in the air...doesn't matter! The majority of my life was spent in California where we HAD fall and I loved it then and still do! I love the colors associated with fall; the oranges, yellows, etc. Arizona is home now and while we don't exactly get a chill in the air here in good ol' Buckeye, it does cool down to the high 70's!! Quite a difference from the HIGH 112's!! I do love living here and while there are no fall colors when I look out my windows I CAN put those colors in my fall projects! So here's a card I designed using Always Artichoke, More Mustard and Close to Cocoa c/s; the leaf was die cut with our Leaves #2 die and the Big Shot - I adhered a piece of the Autumn Traditions dsp to chipboard before cutting. I also used the Autumn Days stamp set. The stitiching below the ribbon is "faux" stitching! My first time using that on a project; so simple but a way to add just a little "sump'n-sump'n"! Thanks for visiting!

FANCY BOX

Here is a fun treat box made with the Fancy Box die and the Big Shot. I made this with our halloween paper but this box is awesome as a wedding favor or shower treat box! I used the large oval punch to punch the face of the box then adhered a window sheet for a little "peek-a-boo" effect. Thanks for visiting!

A TREAT BOX

A regular size Hershey bar fits inside this halloween treat box. This may look hard but it's actually pretty simple to cut, score, and put this box together. I used Perfect Plum c/s, Cast a Spell dsp and Scary Skeleton stamp set (both in 2009/2010 catalog); I embossed the skeleton with black embossing powder to make it pop. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for visiting.

TRICK OR TREAT CARD

Here is a fun card for the halloween season. The card base is Kraft and I layered Whisper White on Crushed Curry. The sentiment is stamped with black Staze-On and is one of the stampsets from our Level 1 hostess sets, Holiday Best. I layered it on Kraft and Pumpkin Pie. The ribbon is Crushed Curry polka dot...LOVE IT! Then I used our Fall Harvest wheel to add to the pumpkin in the sentiment stamp. Thanks for visiting!

PUMPKIN "PUNCH"

Hi! The pumpkin on this card was made with three punched ovals from the Wide Oval Punch (#112082), I then sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip ink. I used Whisper White and layered Basic Black under a layer of Whisper White. The sentiment stamp is from a Level 1 Hostess gift, Holiday Best. Host a party to receive your own stamp set! Just contact me at jamnscrappin@gmail.com. As you can see I used the striped ribbon again but this time in Old Olive! Thanks for visiting.

BOO!

A quick halloween card. I just love the tone-on-tone circles on the Pumpkin Pie cardstock, don't you? It's an EASY, cost effective way to change up the look of your cardstock and add some dimension. What do you think of that new wide striped ribbon? I love it and you will too once you try it. It ties like a dream! Thanks for visiting!
