For my treat box today, I've taken one of my previous fold-flat boxes and used current fall products to make this beautiful box you could use at your Thanksgiving table as a place holder or treat to take home. It's a mash up of several bundles used to achieve a very unique look. I do love how it turned out don't you!?

Witching You a Spooky Halloween advent label treat box
This is the first of two treat boxes this week using our fall product line up. I hope you like this quick and easy two-piece box sized to fit the Advent Label punch. It perfectly fits two of the Toney Chocoloney bite size chocolates you can pick up at either your local Home Goods store or you can find them on Amazon. Hint: They're actually less expensive at Home Goods as their bag is a little larger than the one I found on Amazon. You can find a video tutorial on how I made this box over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

Happy Thanksgiving Scalloped rectangle shaped card with hot foil
This card came about during a phone call to my friend when this idea popped into my head. I wrote it down, finished my phone call, then came inside and went to work on the idea which involved a foiled brick wall, the little mouse, and leaves. This is the final result. During the working phase I decided to try to make a scalloped rectangle card...I will definitely be making more of those. It's so easy to put together and it's something different than your every day card.
Be sure to watch the video tutorial for the scented pumpkin technique, inspired by Lisa Bowden, and how to put this card together. You can find it over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

Hello Gourd-geous double wedge center panel fun fold card

Be sure to watch the video tutorial to see how to put it all together. I've given several tips and tricks to make it go together easily for you.

You're a blessing to me fall mice with pumpkin
Hello all and I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to my oldest granddaughter! What a lovely couple of days we have had here in the Pacific Northwest these past few days! Beautiful fall days, gorgeous sunsets and a wonderful night sky with the moon in first quarter phase. I have been loving every minute of this weather! It's definitely my favorite time of the year.
But enough about that, let's get to our project for today. I have used the Stampin' Hot Foil system and the buffalo check hot foil die to make the background setting for my scene. I'm loving this particular background die and the foil! It adds such a WOW! factor to your projects. I wanted to make a cute fall card with the Christmas Mice and Painted Pumpkins bundles. I took a card sketch, modified it slightly and came up with this card. I do love how it turned out. Although, I did use quite a bit of different products all together, I think it's definitely a unique card. The layout sketch is an easy one to follow, I hope you'll give it a try.

Grateful for you sketch card for scraps with Autumn Opulence
For my card today, I took the sketch I used on Wednesday and altered it slightly to make this card. After I made the sending caring thoughts card, I looked over at the layout and wondered if I could fit the Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies in that center section. My original thought was to use the second largest die; however, it was just too big for the space so I grabbed the next one down. It was a little small but then I thought, what if I use a rectangular piece of dsp to fill the center. How would that same 2 5/8" high piece work along with a 4" wide measurement? The Scalloped Christmas Cheer die fit that measurement perfectly! I then decided to cut the inside rectangle on the scalloped in a different color to add more interest. I do love how this turned out! Of course, you can use this layout for any season, occasion with any papers and stamps! Let's see what you make. Share with me over on my Facebook social page at kntdesigns stampers group social.

Here's to another year birthday card with scalloped gift card pocket
I am so thankful for the new Stampin' Hot Foil system by Stampin' Up! ® It's so easy to use and adds such beautiful accents to all my projects. I'm so glad I invested in this brand-new tool. Have you seen the new hot foil colors? We have added copper, silver opal, red & green to the lineup. I'm loving the copper foil for my fall leaves and backgrounds. My card tonight was inspired by a card I saw Sara Douglas make using this layout and some of the products I've pulled together. Her card was all about Christmas, but I'm not quite there yet....I still need my fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving projects! With that being said, let's make a fall card using some new items from the September product releases. You can follow along with me and make a card of your own using my video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

Cute ghostly trick or treat box
Today I've created a treat box using the Oh My Fright bundle by Stampin' Up! and mixing in an unexpected stamp set found in the hot foil category of my online store. You do NOT need a hot foiling system to use the stamp set, it's meant to loosely coordinate with hot foil dies. I think it's a highly useful background stamp set good for all types of occasions. The size of this box will fit many treats including fun size, nuggets, kisses, caramels, and Dove to name some. The finished inside box size is 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 1". Overall height is approx 4 1/2". You will find the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

Hello Friend book bind fun fold card
Wow! Did you see all the new products that Stampin' Up!®️launched yesterday? The Radiant Sunflower bundle I'm using in my card today was one of those new products. I do love sunflowers and this bundle is so good. It has additional flowers besides the sunflowers and so it's very versatile for all occasions. I've also used a new die set with squares that coordinate exactly with Spotlight on Nature circle dies. So clever!

Simply Leaves with a floral twist
Today I have a card using the Simply Leaves stamp set by Stampin' Up! but with a floral twist to the design. I hope you like it. I was inspired by a card I saw using the leaves to make a sunflower. It inspired to me to make this floral design. I added a fun fold and used the Everyday Arches dies and I was very pleased with the results. This card would make a beautiful birthday card or work for several other occasions as well just by changing the sentiment. Of course, you can personalize the card with the recipient's favorite color as well. There are so many ways to use it don't you think?
