Ghirardelli Fall Treat Holder

Happy Fall, Y'all!

I've been busy on this rainy day making a little something for all the people in my life that I'm grateful for - there are so many!


Aren't they sweet?  And so quick to make.  Even the coloring didn't take long with my Stampin' Write markers!  Here's a little photo tutorial of the process:

Don't forget to round the corners to give your little treat holder a polished look!


The wheat image is from Wetlands and the grateful for you is from Acorny Thank You.  





The pumpkins from Spooky Fun hide the staple nicely.  My scarecrow, from Cookie Cutter Halloween, is colored with Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Dapper Denim, Daffodil Delight and Real Red.  I used a flesh-colored Tombow marker on his face with a little touch of Blushing Bride for rosy cheeks.


Mmmm...I just can't understand why I ran out of these before all my treat holders were filled...



I hope you've enjoyed this!  I'm off to the store for more Ghirardelli Squares...hopefully there will be enough left to finish filling my treats by the time I get home!

Follow this link to purchase your own Cookie Cutter Halloween set.  There are mummies, vampires & ghosts included too!  

Gratefully,
Pat

Acorny Thank You

Hello Stampers!

I'm back from vacation and stampin' again.  Had a great time in Florida visiting my son and his wife, but now I'm ready for Fall, my favorite season.  Cool, crisp days, pumpkins, apples, falling leaves...I love everything about this time of year. When I saw the new Acorny Thank You Stamp set in the holiday catalog, I knew I had to have it.  I've been busy with it all week and here is one of my creations:
Made from Acorny Thank You Bundle #139681

The card base is cut from Very Vanilla, and the edges are sponged with Chocolate Chip.  The background is Gorgeous Grunge, stamped first with Old Olive & Tangerine Tango, then overlaid with Versamark & gold embossing powder.  The acorns are stamped with Chocolate Chip & Crushed Curry.  Washi tape, linen thread & a button from the brights collection add the finishing touches.  I hope you like it!
