The first day of Fall was yesterday and September's kit is the perfect complement to the season. I just received this kit last week and could not wait to put it together. The Fall colors are stunning in this kit. The navy blue is an unusual choice for Fall, but it really adds a nice pop of color to this card. I love all the beautiful leaves in the cards and the envelopes. If you missed out subscribing in time to get the September kit, I have … [Read more...] about September Paper Pumpkin-Autumn Abundance

September Magnet Kit-Hocus Pocus
Summer hasn't even ended yet, and Halloween decor is up in all the stores and has been for a few weeks now. Since everyone else is already prepping for spooky season, I thought I'd get a jump on it too. This month's magnet kit is a witchy cauldron stirring up a bit of magic. This kit has a little bit of a surprise in it. The potion jars will vary from kit to kit. I picked a paper that has dozen different jars and items on it, which means most … [Read more...] about September Magnet Kit-Hocus Pocus
Hocus Pocus Part 2
In playing with the cauldron die, I thought it would be fun to make it into a 3D treat holder. I die cut two of the cauldrons, and then made a long strip that would fit between the two.

This is what it looks like closed. Here is the open treat holder. The candy is stapled inside the treat holder to make sure it stays in place. I did some math and figured out a solution to maximize how many of these you can get out of a single 8.5x11 … [Read more...] about Hocus Pocus
