Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Festive Treats

This is the third month of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop, that runs the first Friday of every month! You'll see projects from stampers from all over the world! My name is Kimberley and I am in the United States, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This month's topic is FESTIVE, and I'm sharing my Ghirardelli Chocolate Square Treat Holder.

This is a reworked pattern, based on a holder from a tutorial I previously shared HERE. The original pattern used several items which are now retired. I'll be sharing an updated tutorial next week featuring the Classic Label Punch.

Stampin' Supplies: Candy Cane Christmas stamp set, Candy Cane Lane DSP, Crumb Cake card stock and ink, Real Red card stock and ink, Real Red 3/4" Stitched Ribbon, Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine, Candy Cane Lane Washi Tape, Classic Label Punch, Decorative Label Punch, 2" Circle Punch, 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch, 1/16" Handheld Circle Punch, Basic Rhinestones. (optional: 1/4" Handheld Circle Punch - retired but currently on Clearance Rack...SUPER handy for wide ribbon, go get it before it's gone!)

Here are some other FESTIVE samples made from the original tutorial, chock full of retired images and product, but you can see how they work throughout the year. They make adorable table favors for Thanksgiving, perfect stocking stuffers at Christmas time, and a rich treat for your favorite sweetie come Valentine's Day:

November Step It Up Blog Hop - Marbled Pumpkin Leaves

Welcome to the November 2016 Edition of the We Create Bloggers Step It Up Blog Hop! The theme is to inspire stampers with a basic design, and at least one alternate "stepped up" version of that same design. This month I created a background design with Shaving Cream and ink refills, and used the October Paper Pumpkin kit to create two cards. The first card was created pretty much the same way the kit showed to assemble the cards, except I used the punched out layer of leaves as a stencil for the background I created for the stepped up card!

Stampin' Supplies: October 2016 Paper Pumpkin Season of Gratitude stamp set, All Card Stock was included in kit: Tip Top Taupe, Very Vanilla (crimped), Cajun Craze label, Delightful Dijon banner; Chocolate Chip ink pad (included in Paper Pumpkin kit), Cajun Craze+Delightful Dijon+Pumpkin Pie ink refills (used in Shaving Cream for background), Old Olive Baker's Twine (in kit), Sequins (in kit).

My stepped up version also uses the leaf pieces that were punched out from the kit, to sponge around (with Versamark) for a subtle coordinating background. And I used the Best Badge Punch for the sentiment and banner in place of the die cuts that came in the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Stampin' Supplies: October 2016 Paper Pumpkin Season of Gratitude stamp set, Tip Top Taupe card stock and ink, VersaMark ink+Sponge Daubers, Very Vanilla card stock, Cajun Craze card stock, Delightful Dijon card stock, Cajun Craze+Delightful Dijon+Pumpkin Pie ink refills (used in Shaving Cream for background), Old Olive Baker's Twine and Sequins (from Paper Pumpkin kit), Stampin' Sponge (ink around Very Vanilla layers).
