Happy Harvest Season!

I live in Michigan and this is the time of year where there are falling leaves, football games, chili and crock pot meals, fall decor - and at the height of the decor - pumpkins. I love taking our family trip to the pumpkin patch, walking around searching for the "perfect" pumpkins for my porch decor. We watch the apples slide down into the mill, then we stop to eat and hot cinnamon sugar donuts and drink extra sweet apple cider.  We take a ride through the apple orchard on a horse drawn wagon, take the haunted train ride and end our day with a wagon ride to the fields of pumpkins to begin the search before going home. 

It's such a pleasant kickoff to my favorite time of year.  Attitudes change, people start to get friendlier as we enter the season of thanksgiving and gratitude.  

It's also a the time of year that crafty people love to craft.  Crafts are everywhere!  And I intend to do my share of paper crafting and stamping, lending to the overall warmth and nostalgia of the season.  Won't you join me?

If you are local and you are able to, join me in the class room for live classes.  I'll be updating my class schedule soon.  Also, you can always join me online as well. I invite you join my email list so you don't miss out!

DAISY DELIGHT TREAT HOLDER PROJECT


I love fall time. Everything about it. Crisp afternoons, cool nights, warm delicious foods, pumpkins and harvest foods, hoodies and sweaters, changing colors - you know all of the things.  For me, those same changes take place in my crafting projects - deep earthtones and jewel tones, leaves, pumpkins and the like.  Creating this kind of stuff makes me just as happy as the season.

Below is a card and simple treat holder created using the Daisy Delight Bundle - Pickled Peppers feature product of the week from the Stampin’ Up annual catalog.  I supplemented with die cut leaves from the Colorful Seasons Bundle, also in the annual catalog.  A list of the supplies I used is below the picture. 


See a brief Facebook Live Tutorial for how I made these projects here:


Of course you can hop on over to Facebook, like and join my Pickled Peppers Creative Cafe Facebook Group for more fun and information.  

Here are the products I used to create the projects featured in the video:

Cardstocks: Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry for 
the card on the left.

Very Vanilla, BlackBerry Bliss, Old Olive, Crumb Cake and 
Crushed Curry for the card on the right.

Regals DSP (designer series paper) for the treat holder and Joyous Noel 
glimmer paper for the small gold leaf.

Embellishments: Faceted gems - clear and gold.

Inks: BlackBerry Bliss, Tuxedo Black Memento, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie,
 Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake

Adhesives:  Stampin’ Dimensionals, glue dots, snail adhesive.

BYE BYE BIRDIES

Bundle Pricing is Going Bye-Bye

Our little birdie happens to be the 10% bundle pricing that you get when you purchase  select coordinating stamps sets and tools. And...the bundle pricing is going away for products currently bundled in the Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog and the Stampin’ Up Occasions Catalog.

This is the last opportunity to save on these bundles. The items will carry over to the new Catalog, but the bundle pricing will be gone forever after May 31, 2018. Many of these products are while supplies last. Soooooo...hit the gas and jump in the Maserati; speed off to get your bundles while they're still hot!
