More Scalloped Fun

 Last week I showed you the fun flowers that were made with the Scalloped Blooms dies and so today I thought I would share two more projects that I made with them.  

These two projects were made with the Bloom Boutique Suite of products.  This Suite is so pretty with lovely little floral papers and pretty stamps.  I made these projects for Stamp Camp last week. At stamp camp we make 4 cards and 1 treat holder. sometimes I create a fun box or bag for the treat holder but it was a busy back to school week and I pressed the easy button and used the Scalloped Window Boxes for the treat holder.  These are so nice because they are easy to put together, already scored and ready to go, and they don't need any adhesive! Yay!  

The box is food safe, so you can put some homemade treats or chocolates or whatever you like inside. They are also big enough for some non food things.  The box features a window and I didn't want to cover that up, so I used the Scalloped Blooms dies to create another window in a piece of Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper.  I held onto the cut out piece to use on the card.  We also used the Scalloped Blooms dies to create some little flowers and a tag to add to the front.  I used Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine cardstock for the flowers and leaves and a touch of gold was added with some gold foil paper on the little flower centers.  

I added some Crisp Cantaloupe ribbon under the tag and a touch of shimmer with the Crisp Cantaloupe Shimmer Brush to the center of the larger flower.  I have a video for this box on my YouTube channel. 


 To make the card I used the cut out scallop from the box and layered it on another larger scallop cut from Barely Blush cardstock. 
I stamped the smaller flowers from the Heirloom Boutique stamp set randomly across the base of the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock with Crisp Cantaloupe ink. This tone on tone look is a nice addition without being too busy.  On a scrap of Basic White cardstock I stamped the flower images and then cut them out with the dies. The flowers were colored with Stampin' Blends in Hydrangea Hue, Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine. I used a Golden Glow Shimmer Brush to color the flower centers. The sentiment is stamped on a piece of Barely Blush in Basic Black. I used some Barely Blush ribbon behind the sentiment. 


 You can't go wrong with this suite of products. The coordination is beautiful and the colors are so nice, everything you make with this suite is going to be lovely. See the whole suite here.  

I have a video how to for this card on my YouTube Channel as well, with some coloring tips and tricks.

Diagonal Cut Pocket Card

 

Hello Crafty Friends!  I am sharing a card we made at Stamp Camp this weekend.  This is a Diagonal Cut Pocket Card.  Simple to make and fun to receive! I have full instructions on my YouTube channel with measurements and tips and tricks.  
I used the Scalloped Wishes dies for the elements on this card and these dies are really pretty.  The stamp set that goes with it are already sold out and the dies are on the Last Chance List, so if you like them, get them while you can!  You can switch up the dies and stamps with something from your stash as well. The smaller panel is really a mini card that you can tuck into the pocket.  I have also seen some people who adhere the mini card to the background too.  The pocket is also a great place to tuck some money or a gift card. 



The paper used for this card is from the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack, which is part of the Paper Sale going on this month.  I like that this paper is not really meant to go with a specific stamp set but rather work well with almost anything.  
 See all the papers that are on sale here.


 If you make a Diagonal Cut Pocket Card, I would love to see it! Share it in my Facebook Group Beth's Paper Cuts Idea Sharing Group!

New Halloween Decor Kit

 

I know it's only August, but Halloween is fun and sometimes sells out fast, so I thought I would share this cute new Home Decor Kit from Stampin' Up!   We had a hat kit several years ago that was similar and I remember making it in the kitchen of one of my Stamping Friends. She is no longer with us, so this kit brought back a fond memory for me. Nothing better than crafting with friends! That hat was paper, and it lasted a few years, but eventually I had to toss it. The price wasn't high and it served me well while it lasted. This one is an actual fabric hat, so I think it will last even longer.  I haven't put it together yet, I will make it with my daughter when it gets closer to Halloween. I bought two and she wants to make one with her friend, crafting with friends is being past down to her too I guess!  Below you can see all the pieces!


                            One of my favorite parts, that super fun eye in the center of the flower!! 



This would be a fun kit to have a friends night out with. You could make some spooky treats and craft together and everyone has a cute decor piece to take home. It would look fun on a mantle or entryway next to a bowl of Halloween candy.  Love it!! 

There is another Halloween decor piece that would be fun a Haunted Home kit! I have seen a few people also make these into other things, like a gingerbread house too. Have fun with it. 



 Set out some spooky treats with the Sweet and Spooky Kit!
