Won't You Have Lunch With Me ?

Come in, come in! I would love to have you visit and have lunch with me today. Can't make lunch? How about dinner? I want to share some really quick ideas of some Fall decorations for my home. Creative Cuts and More has some really spectacular leaf shapes and a couple Pumpkin sizes

Leaves #03 Set - Mini

Maple Leaf #02 - Small

Maple Leaf #02-Large

Oak Leaf #04 - Small

 Pumpkin #04 - Small

Pumpkin #04-Large

 I made a napkin and a place mat, and a chair name tag just for you!

 All of these shapes were cut from Velvet paper in some of the best fall colors around.

 Did you know that Creative Cuts and More has velvet Paper? You can have almost all die cut shapes cut from this great medium.

 I used a wonder under fabric adhesive to attach to the place mat and Napkin. All it took was a warm iron on a hot setting and no steam.

 I decided to use a couple stamps to decorate the pumpkins and a few leaves. Stazon ink works best on this felt paper.Didn't have any problems with bleeding or smearing.

 Now if you let me know the correct spelling of your name I can personalize your name on this adorable

Chair Box & Place Card.

Thanks for stopping in ,hope you enjoyed our time together.Hope I gave you some inspiration to decorate for your home.

 

Yeah! It's Officially Halloween Today!

I wanted to share with you a great way to showcase die-cuts. I found this fun tree and thought it would be perfect for Halloween. Add some Creative Cuts & More die-cuts, gauze and sparkle and you have instant boo-factor!

Here are the die-cuts I used on the tree: Pumpkin Large and Small, Spider, Witch, Black Cat, and Tombstone. I mixed up the textures by using some acetate, Bazzill {with and without texture{, tacky tape and felt.

Some ways to accent them are: emboss them with your Cuttlebug, Glimmer Mists or Shimmerz, Doodlebug Glitter and Crushed Velvet, stamping on acetate and Stickles. I am sure there are more but this is what I did on this project.

Happy Halloween!

I can hardly believe Halloween is tomorrow! I used the witch and spider die cuts from Creative Cuts and More to make these "wicked spooky" cards.


I used the coffin box, acetate box, small pumpkin and larger flourish to make this (quick and easy) spooky set:


Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Harvest Time Is Here

Harvest time is here and it's time to start planning projects for fall feasts like Thanksgiving! Today, we've got some great projects highlighting the Tacky Tape Shapes -- specifically the small pumpkin. (Keep in mind that while it's called the "small pumpkin", it measures 3” high x 2-3/4” wide -- large enough to make a striking focal point for a card!)

Tacky Shapes were introduced in our last post via the sparkly spiders on Lila's coffin box. She chose glitter to cover her spiders. Many other materials are suitable for use with the Tacky Shapes, including microbeads, flock, and today's idea: gold leafing.

For both cards, the top protective layer over the Tacky Tape was removed to reveal the adhesive. I selected the more copper-looking pieces from the package of leafing and applied those to the stem. Then I applied the more orange pieces to the pumpkin itself. Using my index finger, I worked in the leafing and use a paintbrush to brush the flakes back into the container.

And here is a closeup of this card:



And the second card, which is a Square Scalloped 5-1/4" Card cut from Acetate:



Remember, this Pumpkin cut from cardstock or other materials could make a fun addition to holiday place settings and room decor!
