Thanksgiving Pumpkin Spice Votive Candle Gift Box



HAPPY (CANADIAN) THANKSGIVING DAY!

I am trying to come up with some Christmas Stocking Stuffer projects, and thought I could implement, as practise, for a tiny Thanksgiving gift for a friend. Since I was making this one for Thanksgiving, I remembered seeing a striking card and box set by Heike Fallwickl, and based my tiny box on hers. Mine is much smaller at 1 3/4w x 13/4xd 1 1/2h. Just large enough for the votive candle.


On the lid I have three die cut Vintage Leaves. I took some scrap watercolour paper, and inked them with Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry & Delightful Dijon. I dried it with my heat tool, and then stamped the leaves, and die cut them.


You can see the candle inside the box here. Such a lovely smell, that Pumpkin Spice, when the lid is opened. Almost like cinnamon.


As I said earlier, I will have a Christmas version posted with some other stocking stuffer packaging. Do you want a Stocking Stuffer Packaging Class? Let me know. Or do you want instructions in my newsletter? If you are interested in my newsletter, let me know, and I will enter your name and email on the list (sabradcreations@gmail.com).

Hope that you are having a great day and that you enjoyed your Thanksgiving festivities and that you are stuffed, just like everyone else, lol.

Happy creating!

Happy Thanksgiving! - Lovely as a Tree



HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Who says that thanksgiving cards have to use the traditional brown, gold, orange and green colours? My Dad (a retired chef) is having a few people over for Thanksgiving dinner. It will be the first one since Mom's passing, and I'm happy that he is doing this. You can imagine the beautiful spread it will be. I decided to make everyone attending, as well as for a few friends, Thanksgiving cards. I decided to use some of the colours in my Dad's home for the cards, rather than the traditional ones. So I chose Sahara Sand, Marina Mist, & Mint Macaron. There is a lot of antique cream and gold in his home too, but I chose to not use those colours.

Any way, here are the 10 cards I made yesterday. I also made a dozen other cards that will be revealed at a later date.


The larger view below, shows that I used my Aqua Painters to apply ink refills to my stamp, and then stamped. I then cut the 4" x 5 1/4" piece I had stamped. I cut just over 1 5/8" from the bottom, then cut off 1/8", cut just over 1 5/8", cut another 1/8" piece off, and was able to pop up the strips as you see here, below.

I was thinking of tying some Linen Thread vertically, on the left, around the middle panel, but it was getting so late last night that I decided not to take the time to do that.


I didn't have a Thanksgiving sentiment that was current and wanted something other thank Thanks or Thank You, so I turned to my retired Lighthearted Leaves from 2015's Holiday catalogue.

For the inside, I just stamped the oak leaves with Mint Macaron.


So there you have my Thanksgiving card for this year. Hope that all my fellow Canadians will have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day on Monday. And for all my US friends, you will have time to create your Thanksgiving cards, still, and I wish you all a great Thanksgiving in November.

Happy Stamping Everyone!

2016 Holiday Catalogue Sneak Peek - Totally Trees 5


With Fall approaching my mind seems to think in the colours associated with the season. Plus, Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up in October, too. I did mention in a few of the "Totally Trees" postings that a person could use some of the trees as leaves. So I have finally done that for you with today's card.


For the "world of Thanks" background stamp I used clear embossing powder on the Early Espresso cardstock. I love how colours really pop on Early Espresso.

Nothing is popped up on this card. I used mini-glue dots to attach the leaves so that I could tuck the leave stems under as I attached them.


On the inside, I just stamped some leaves.


This is the last "Totally Trees" sneak peak, even though I haven't used all of the stamps or ideas yet, but I may use this stamp set again in the future. I hope that you are inspired with this set and have it on your 2016 Holiday wish list for September 1st.

Happy stamping!








REMEMBER, this incredible  Stampin' Up! exclusive, limited time bundle is available only from August 2nd through 31st! You can purchase the stamp set and dies separately or as a bundle. You can also use your July Bonus Coupons to get this bundle!
