Do You Love Pumpkin Spice Season?

I am NOT a pumpkin spice fan, but I love pumpkin spice/fall decor.  Does that make up for it?  
Michelle at Idaho Custom Creations has a new Pumpkin Spice set for the tiered tray, I had to have it!  It's coffee AND fall and so cute. 😆


The tray I use is from Felt Creative Home Goods on Amazon and I have one in white and brown.

This is an unfinished DIY.  You purchase and paint, it is not part of the monthly subscription kit.


The gnome is from the August inserts for the Round Interchangable sign.  Those work perfectly in the tier trays and with the sign.

Dancing Gnomes Die Set

I've got another cute die set here - Dancing Gnomes, part of the Be Merry Collection at Spellbinders.

This little guy is adorable!  He has so many fun parts that go with him to mix and match scenes and colors. 
I've used him on this card with the Good Life Prints paper pack to create an outdoors scene.


Dancin’ Gnome Etched Dies is from the Be Merry Collection with a set of 13 thin metal dies. When assembled, it makes an adorable gnome. Even more fun, he dances with his moving arms and legs. So unique! This set also includes accents for the gnome and tree design options.

Here I've made him into a Christmas card adding snow to the trees, holiday colors  and pom pom on his hat.  Be sure to head over to Spellbinders to see the Be Merry Collection available now.

Flower Market Poppy

This is the new Flower Market Poppy Die set from The Stamp Market.  No stamping at all, just die cut and assemble.  
 I love die cutting, I could cut for hours, so this was on my list when the sneak peeks rolled out.


Flower Market Poppy
Die Set

I love intricate die sets that come with a how-to. Definitely a selling feature for me!

I used the Plaid Stencil for the background and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink.

The vase is a new little stand alone die called Vase Die. I love that is it wonky and not perfect.

Hi is from the Scalloped Frame die set that appears to be discontinued??

Dear Santa With A Technique Tuesday Christmas Collection Sale

I love stamping for Christmas so I was super excited when Technique Tuesday asked if I would help spread the word on their Christmas in July sale.

The Christmas Collection is 20% off until Thursday, July 29th. 
Use code HOLIDAY at check out.

I'm using the cute Dear Santa Bundle for my cards. Pretty quick and easy and great for duplicating!
I started with a base of stripes that are 1/2" and 1/8".  I cut an oval in the middle and added Santa mounted on foam tape.




The foliage on both cards is from the Spirit of December stamp set.

I used practically all the sentiments in the set to create this plea with Santa card .😜  
I had a strip that I trimmed off from the card above, and used it on this card. I placed Santa on the right with foam tape and then stamped all the words using my MISTI (from Amazon or Scrapbook,com) to line everything up.


Check out the SALE at Technique Tuesday!

Idaho Custom Creations August Tiered Tray Kit and Some New Products

It's time for a new tiered tray set up with the Idaho Custom Creations kit of the month.  
It was 104 degrees here in Boise the day I painted this...I was dreaming of fall weather for sure!  I love fall and winter so much - this made me super happy to decorate this tray...then I took it down and returned to my regular summer decor. 😅


The pieces are so cute this month and all represent a different part of fall. 


 This is a subscription kit, BUT you are able to pause it for the months you don't wish to receive.  The kit comes with everything you need to complete the projects, from paint to jute for the banner. 
 I chose to use my own paint to customize it to the colors that match my decor.





Not included in the kit, but available for sale in the store are new pumpkins and sun flowers.  I have a few scattered in my tray and then I put them in the Target gumball glass canister for a photo.  


You get five pumpkins and a 25 cents sign ready to paint.


These were really hard to photograph in the glass.  I think I prefer these in the tray rather that in the canister...but the sunflowers are SUPER cute in the glass jar!


You get a set of 6 sunflowers ready to paint.


Then...the Round Interchangeable Sign has new inserts for August.  
A darling gnome holding a pumpkin and a new word sign - you are the pumpkin to my spice.

Remember all of these come unfinished for you to customize as you please.  And, speaking of pumpkin spice... I got to paint the new fall pumpkin spice coffee kit (a store purchase, not part of the subscription) and I will be showing you that next week when it becomes available.
