RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour: Home For The Holidays
Well, it is the second Thursday of the month, so it must be time for another RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour! The Holiday Catalog is fabulous this year -- so many bundles to choose from, gorgeous Designer Series Paper, accessories, stamps -- I want it all, don't you? So, this month's tour will feature projects that showcase these wonderful Holiday Catalog products.
I decided to use the A Little Something Bundle this month.
And, here is what I made:
I just love the Square Pillow Box Framelits Dies -- Perfect size for a gift card, candy, tea bags, or a cello bag full of little cookies. Here is a close-up of the Halloween treat holder:
This has some sweet treats inside and will be on its way to Sweet Caroline in Virginia tomorrow! It was easy-peasy with the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper and the Spider Web Doilies. I punched a circle of Tangelo Twist cardstock and placed it behind the doily so you could see the beautiful design.
The next project was something my Stamp Club ladies made this afternoon:
Again, easy-peasy with our beautiful Into The Woods Designer Series Paper. We stamped a few leaves, cut them out with framelits, and arranged them on top of the burlap ribbon. The little "strings" are threads we pulled from a piece of burlap ribbon and looped on top of the leaves. We stuffed the boxes with some pumpkin spiced Chai teabags for a fun little gift.
I hope you liked these projects, and be sure to continue on the tour to see all of the RemARKable creations made by my teammates. The next stop on the tour is Missy -- just click on the icon below!
Here is the complete line up:

Autumn Birch Trees
We visited Maine last month, and I love to see the beautiful birch trees in Acadia National Park. That is why I had to order the new Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder right away!
The trees were just starting to change color when we were in Acadia National Park, and I can only imagine how beautiful they must be at peak leaf-peeping season. The beauty of nature inspired me to make this card:
Here is a close-up of the background:
I used the Sheltering Tree stamp set to stamp different colors of leaves on the inside of the embossing folder. Open the embossing folder, and stamp on the inside of the half that has the Sizzix logo printed on it (the "flat" side). I inked the leaf stamp in Dafffodil Delight, then stamped directly on the embossing folder in a few different places.
Clean off the stamp, then ink with Tangelo Twist and stamp on the embossing folder in a few different places -- be sure to clean the stamp each time so you don't transfer ink from the folder back into your ink pad. Do the same with Rich Razzleberry ink, then finally with Crumb Cake ink. Place the Whisper White cardstock in the embossing folder, put it between two clear plates, and run it through the Big Shop machine on tab 2 of the multipurpose platform. The ink will be transferred to the paper as the trees are embossed on the paper.
The Whisper White layers on the inside and outside of the card measure 3 3/4" by 5" which leaves you the perfect size "scrap" for the greeting. I used a stamp from the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit to stamp the 1" x 5" scrap with Momento ink.
Here is the inside of the card:
The greeting is from the Petite Pairs stamp set, and I added a Rich Razzleberry leaf from the Vintage Leaves stamp set to the bottom corner.
I hope you (and my friend!) like this card. Remember, the RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour begins tomorrow night at 8 PM ET. Be sure to stop back and see lots of great ideas!
Happy Stamping,

Far too many families are affected by breast cancer, and mine is no exception. This is why I am so proud of Stampin' Up! for helping raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
To show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're going PINK . . . or at least our October boxes are! And because we know our subscribers want to share the love too, we will be making a donation on their behalf to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
