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!?

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
I have a very cool new fun fold card for you today. I was inspired by Sam Calcott, UK (not affiliated with SU) for this fold. I saw a video she made using a 6"x6" card base and modified to fit our A2 card base here in the states. I hope you like this fold and will give it a try. 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.

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!

Fall is for doughnuts Double Fold-over Flap box

You will find a video tutorial for this box over on my YouTube channel. I hope you will watch and then make one (or some) for yourself and others.

Cozy and Warm Embraced With Love
My featured bundle this week is Christmas Labels. It is a stamp and die bundle I love, most of all for all the labels and the stamps designed to fit perfectly inside those labels. I’m starting with a fall card. I fell in love with the little bear and rabbit reading when I first saw the Embraced with Love stamp. There are a couple of sentiments in the Christmas Labels bundle that pair perfectly with this particular image. To see how I’ve put my card together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.
