Thanksgiving blog hop

Welcome to our Stamp to the MAX blog hop! 
We hope you are inspired by our projects with a Thanksgiving / Thanks theme! 
You may have arrived here from Jill's blog. 
I am stop #6  on the blog hop. 
 
 I made a Thanksgiving tree.
 
This could be used as a centerpiece or just set beside the front door.
Mine is more than 4 feet tall, but that would vary depending on your branches.
My branches were gathered by my brother in law Joe, who did a great job selecting them!
I arranged the branches how I liked them, then hot-glued them near the bottom and wrapped the hot glue with ribbon to get them to stay together.  
I put them into a flowerpot and filled the bottom with some pretty small rocks.
 

I cut the leaves from the Comfort Cafe DSP using the Autumn Accents Bigz Die.
 
 
I distressed the edges with Ink in Soft Suede, Old Olive, Summer Starfruit, and Pumpkin Pie.
 
 

I glued the leaves to the branches, then tied a know of Linen Thread around the stem of each leaf.
 
 

I cut the "Thankful"from chipboard using the Typeset Alphabet die, covered the front of the letters with Versa Mark Ink, and then Gold Embossing Powder and heat embossed them with the Heat Tool.
 
 
I strung them between 2 branches with some Linen Thread.

I covered the flower pot with some Old Olive Fabric from the Essentials Designer Fabric pack and tied it with Early Espresso and Daffodil Delight 1/8 inch Taffeta Ribbon.


I hope you like my Thanksgiving tree!

Stamp to the Max blog hop!

Welcome to our Stamp to the MAX blog hop! 
We hope you are inspired by our projects using products from the 2012/13 Catalog.  You may have arrived here from Kim's blog. 
I am stop #4  on the blog hop. 

I wanted to see what (other than a purse)I could make with the new

Petite Purse Bigz XL Die 

So, I created



A Doctor's Bag

The "for you" stamp is from the new
Itty Bitty Banners stamp set.


The doctor's bag has a sweet "get well" sentiment inside
from the Petite Pairs stamp set.

Fill it with chocolate kisses
or another treat to help sooth a friend's broken heart.



A Treasure Chest

Fill this cute little guy with chocolate coins or play jewelry
and give it to your guests at a Mermaid or Pirate party.

I scored the Chocolate Chip card stock with the Simply Scored,
and the More Mustard strips are coated with Dazzling Details
to give it just the right look.



and

A Teapot
Tuck a teabag and a packet of honey into this cute little
pot and pass it along to a friend.
The flowers are a stamp from the
 Bordering on Romance stamp set.



I hope you liked my creations!

Wedding cards

I recently had a hostess request wedding themed cards for her workshop.
Here are the cards we made:



I really like this white-on-white card.

We also made this favor box:


The guests were joking that they were going to put their wedding gifts in these small favor boxes, and the bride suggested that a $100 bill would fit perfectly! :)
