It's A S'mores Holiday!

Sending S'more Holiday Cheer; we all need more holiday cheer this year!  I'm excited to get my tree up and enjoy the holiday, but I always wait until after Thanksgiving.  In the meantime, I am in full holiday making mode and have so many fun things to share with you in the coming months.

Today's card is from The Greetery called S'more Holiday Stamp Set and Dies.  Here's a fun fact - I love s'more things, but I am not a fan of s'mores, I don't like them! *Ü*

I also used the Graham Cracker Cuts Die to create the full size 'sandwich'. 

I cut it from true Kraft cardstock and sponged it a bit with Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Ink.  The chocolate bar and the marshmallow between the graham crackers are hand cut and I sponged the marshmallow with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink.

If you have not checked out The Greetery, please do. You are going to be seeing a lot more of her products on here because I can't stop playing with them!!

For following along on the hop, you have a chance to win one of 3 prizes.  Concord & 9th is giving away one $50 grand prize and two $25 gift certificates to their store!

In celebrating we are supposed to show off our favorite Concord & 9th product.  For me that was easy, it is my collaboration project with them called Everyday Purse Builder.  It is a stamp and die set that creates adorable gift card size purses for super fun gift packaging.

Today I have made the purse with Concord & 9th Cranberry cardstock and the new Candy Stripe Background Stamp. I love this new stripe background, it is perfect for Christmas!!

The gold is from the Neutrals Foil Paper Pack.

Thankful For My Gnomie

Jaded Blossom is having a small Fall Release and of course I chose the Thanksgiving gnomes to play with!

Today's project is made using the Thankful for My Gnomies stamp set.

I made a folder that will hold three fall themed recipes to deliver to friends.  

I colored the gnomes with Copic markers and adhered them to the cover with foam squares. I have a piece of twine wrapping around as that is what keeps the folder closed.

Thankful For My Gnomie stamp set/stencil bundle.

The measurements for the folder are 6-1/2" x 8-1/2".  

Score the 8-1/2" side at 2-1/4" and 6".

Score the 6-1/2" side at 1/2" and 6".

All 3 cards inside are 3-1/4" x 5" and I made the tabs with the envelope punch board.

Thank you to Pinkstrawberryz on Instagram for the fun idea!

Today you will meet 

Country Christmas Wreath Stamps and Dies

BEE Narrow Alphabet Dies

Burlap A2 Coverplate Die

Lovely Layers Pinecone Dies

This beauty is made with the Lovely Layers Pinecone Dies.  Man, these things are SO pretty and easy to line up and make!  The alphabet is the new BEE Narrow Alphabet Dies.

How about this Burlap A2 Coverplate Die.  This was fun.  I ink blended all the browns on it before I cut it - oh and by the way, all those little pieces pop out so easy!  I didn't even have to use my poker...yes, technical term.  The tiny images and sentiment are from the Country Christmas Wreath Stamps and Dies.  I colored them with Copic Markers.  The sentiment is embossed in white.

This one was ink blended with Forest Moss Distress Oxide ink before adding the little images that are from the Country Christmas Wreath Stamps and Dies.  Again, all are colored with Copic markers and the sentiment is embossed in white.

I used a 4" embroidery hoop and a piece of fabric here to make a wreath from the Country Christmas Wreath Stamps and Dies.  The JOY is made with BEE Narrow Alphabet Dies.  Regarding the hoop, I removed the screw and bent the metal pieces back. Then I glued a knob to the top for decoration and stained it with Early American Minwax stain.
