Autumn Trevor Treat Bags

I was trying to think of something different to do for Thanksgiving this year, and decided to start with these little treat bags. I used Glimmer Mist on white card stock before cutting out the ‘bags’. The cutie on them is Trevor (Autumn Trevor, Sugarplums by C. C. Designs) with a few extra pumpkins on pop dots to go along with him. I finished the bags off with a jute handle.

I followed 2 challenges for this project. The first challenge was to make a treat container for SSHP04 (Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential). I just went and read that challenge again, and maybe I was supposed to stick to a Halloween treat container, but hopefully Trevor is alright with his pumpkins. You can find that challenge: HERE
The second challenge is for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge (#30), and we were to make something with a stamped image and fall colors. You can find that challenge: HERE

What I used:
Stamps: Autumn Trevor, Pumpkins (Sugarplums by C. C. Designs)

SSHP03 - Make a Scene

I did this homey Christmas scene for Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential. The challenge this week was to make a scene! You can find that challenge: HERE

I had a lot of fun doing this one and used a mixture of stamps. Each piece was stamped on Papertrey Ink paper, colored with Copic Markers and cut out. Most pieces have pop dots behind them to give a little bit of a 3-D look. I cut the middle of the Fireplace out and doubled the pop dots behind the outer piece to make an inset for the fire. The ball has Diamond Glaze on it to make it shiny. (the first time I’ve used it, so don’t look to closely or you’ll find that little bubble I missed!)

What I used:
Stamps: Fireplace, fire, stocking, and tree are all from C.C. Designs; Chihuahua, ball, and wood flooring are from Hanna Stamps; Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink
Paper: Stamped on Papertrey Ink, DP by Webster’s Pages
Ink: Stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, Colored with Copic Markers
Accents: DMC thread, Diamond Glaze, Black dot (hanging picture)
