Gift Givers is another one of the stamp sets we are featuring this session in our Preview Projects! I used it to make a fun Halloween card for Pals Paper Arts Halloween Challenge (PPA110) this week! I think these pumpkins are SO cute all lined up in a row! Halloween doesn't HAVE to be scary!

I started with a base card of Pumpkin Pie and layered on Basic Black. Then I cut a piece of Pick Your Poison Designer Paper to go over top. I added the 1 1/4" Basic Black Striped Ribbon that I cut the edges off and fringed it a little. I also placed down Sticky Strip and ruffled it along the one side. I added a Pumpkin Glimmer Brad at the end!

I also used the Dotted Ribbon Punch and cut two Basic Black pieces to lay down vertically. I stamped the pumpkin image from Gift Gifts stamp set in Black Stazon on Very Vanilla and watercolored it with my Pumpkin Pie, Sahara Sand and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers. It is punched with the Decorative Label Punch and layered and popped up on the XL Oval Punch of Pumpkin Pie.

Love how it turned out! I hope to find some time to work in my stamping studio for a while…but hubby wants to pick out paint colors for a couple rooms. Fun! I'll just take my Stampin' Up! cardstock with me! lol!

One of the sets we are featuring during the Preview Session is Stampin' Up!'s Gift Giver's stamp set! You may remember the little candy wrapper favors that I did for my son's wedding. Well, we made 220 the first day, forgot that we had made an extra 20, and made 20 more later on! So I had 240 of these candy wrapper favors and we only used about 210! Since I had some left, I revamped them for my downline meeting and used them as swaps. Of course, I had to remove the wedding information and looked around for a new set that I could use. The little girl in Gift Givers was PERFECT to go with the Melon Mambo wrapper!

The Melon Mambo Candy Wrapper was embossed with the Elegant Lines Impressions Folder. I wrapped around Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon. I stamped the little girl on Whisper White with Black Stazon and watercolored her with Baja Breeze, Blush Blossom and Melon Mambo Markers. I used the new Dazzling Details glitter on the snowflakes and the snow line. I LOVE that we finally came out with this project! I punched her out with the 1 3/4 Scallop Circle and layered her on the 1 3/4 punched circle of Baja Breeze. I punched a hole in the top with the Crop A Dile so I could add it to the Baja Breeze Ribbon.

Isn't she CUTE! For my swap, I filled them with small packages of M&Ms! Yummy!

Again, don't forget to check out our Special Guest Designer over on Create with Connie and Mary! I know you'll enjoy getting to know her!
