Geez, I’m so ready for fall, anyone else. It’s been a good summer, but with almost no rain here in Oregon where I’m at this season. This week, it’s a bit cooler and feels a little more like fall and we have a small bit of rain. We are still in a drought, but rain is in the forecast for today. I’ve been playing with the All About Autumn suite of products from the September-December 2023 Stampin’ Up! mini catalog releasing to the public next week on September 6. Fall is my favorite season and I love anything leaves so this suite spoke to my heart and I had to get it to share with all of you.
My first project this week uses a new-to-me watercolor technique that is quick and super easy. Be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel HERE to see how I watercolored my leaves. The treat box is a resized version of a box from Angie at ChicnScratch. I liked how the box looked, but wanted to be able to get two out of a sheet of cardstock, so I resized it to fit. I generally make 10 or so boxes when I make them so it’s preferable for me to have a smaller size economically. The finished box size is 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 x 1” so it is a good size and will hold plenty of treats or a small gift.
