Pretty embossed fall leaves

   This is a card I made for my twin brothers birthday which is on the 30th. Pretty but yet not too feminine.
  I stamped JustRite's Autumn leaves background stamp on Kraft paper with versa mark ink.I then used a pretty orange pearl embossing powder.I stamped the saying from JustRite's Cupcake wishes stampset and embossed it on the bottom of the card along with a flourish. I then added a ribbon on the top embossed layer of the cart ( I cut it a bit to leave space at the bottom of the card to put my saying.
   I die cut the oak leave and then rubbed versa mark on it and embossed it with the orange pearl embossing powder.I attached it with foam dots onto the card.
   I love to emboss and this background stamp was just screaming to be embossed in this pretty orange pearl embossing powder. I am entering this in Mod Squad challenge blog Your favorite things contest. You are to make a card using your favorite card making technique. Embossing is on the top of my list.
   Thanks for stopping. I hope you all got out side and enjoyed our lovely fall.

A crunchy,tasty thank you fall treat wrapped up in warm fall colors

    I finished up some fun thank you gifts for the youth group leaders that my daughter is working with this year.I had bought the plaid paper at Tuesday Morning for a really good price. I used my fry box die from Accucut to cut them out. I stamped some leaves and Acorns with some old TAC stamps and colored with water color pencils and then cut them out and popped them on with foam tape just under the raffi bows I tied around the box.
   A friend had told me about a great pumpkin pie spice popcorn recipe.I made 2 batches ( so good) and then bagged it up and put it in the box's. ( Hint put the bag in the box and then fill it, works much better that way) The recipe can be found on pinterest just put in pumpkin pie spice popcorn. or caramel corn and it should come up with several.
  I hope this inspires you to make some goodies for the special people in your lives.
  Thanks for stopping.

You have been Boo'd tag

This is a tag I did for Raisin Boat stamps Halloween challenge #27, and Mod Squad Challenge blog Sweet tooth. Halloween and Sweets a great combination!!
  I used Raisin Boats Frosted Frights stamp set.I colored the cup ghost cup cakes with copic markers and cut them out and popped them on the tag with foam tape. I die cut the tag and did faux stitches on the tag with a Momento marker.I added a fun washi tape across the bottom. The sayings were bent or shaped on the clear block to allow for a fun whimsical way of stamping the saying on the tag.
    It was nice to get a project done in between all of the wedding dress's I have to work on (24 left until I start slowing down) I hope you like it. This is a fun tag to put on a bag of goodies for a neighbor or co-workers.
  Oh don't forget to put on the google eyes for even more fun!
  Thanks for stopping.
