Harvest Hellos with a “Swoosh”

Happy Tuesday Friends!

Today’s projects feature a favorite of mine from the annual catalog.  The Harvest Hellos stamp set coordinates perfectly with the Apple Builder Punch.  Woot!  Not only are the apples and pumpkins easy to create and punch out…the sentiments are terrific and look like they were typed on a typewriter.  Love it!

I created three samples for you and all of them use some of the gorgeous Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper.  It’s like they were “MFEO”…Made For Each Other.  (a reference to one of my all time favorite rom coms….Sleepless in Seattle) 😉

I created a fun color coordinated cardstock swatch for each of the cards using the “Swoosh” technique.  I love how it turned out and I love that’s it’s easy to make.

Start with a piece of neutral cardstock…I chose Whisper White…and a Stampin’ Spot (Stampin’ Spots are 1″ x 1″ individual stamp pads.  They can be purchased uninked and you are able to use whichever reinker you’d like to ink them up.  Also, all Paper Pumpkin subscribers receive on in each of their monthly kits.  (Fun Fact:  The colored spots in Paper Pumpkin kits don’t repeat in a 12 month period so you’ll get a nice variety to choose from for alternate projects.)
Next, you’ll start off of the paper on the left side and, using gentle pressure, you will simply make a “swooshing” motion across to the other side of the paper and off of the right edge.  It’s as easy as that.
Repeat as shown to cover the remaining blank space.
For a little added fun you can use multiple colors.  SO fun!
Here are the supplies I used for today’s projects.  They are all available at my Online Store.

September’s Class in the Mail – Beautiful Autumn

Happy September my friends!

I hope that you are doing well as we head into my favorite month of the year…SEPTEMBER.  While I love the other three seasons, fall is probably my most favorite.  I love the bright colored leaves, the crisp air, apple picking and especially the transformation in our home with all of the fun decorations.  It’s also “birthday” month for me, my daughter Lindsay and my son Zachary.  So much cake…SO little time!  LOL

Gobble til you Wobble!

Turkey Day is just ONE week away!

I can’t wait for all of the family fun and yummy food this Thanksgiving.  What a treat and blessing to have a brand new family member at the table this year to celebrate with us.  This is Emmaline’s first Thanksgiving and I’m sure she will love it.

If you’re like me, you find yourself trying to find something fun to put at each person’s place at the table to dress things up a bit.  Well, this little “Tom the Turkey” is the perfect answer.  Not only is he just stinkin’ cute, but he holds two Hershey nuggets for an after dinner treat.

You just can’t help but smile when you look at that sweet face.  Want to know what is  the best??  His feathers are stamped using the Making Every Day Bright  (148813) stamp set and get this….the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch (148013)!  Say WHAT??  Yes indeed!  It’s just one of the reasons that I LOVE punch art.  Creating fun “critters” made from various punched shapes and watching them come to life is absolutely my FAVORITE things to create.

Wanna know what else??  I’m attaching the supply list and a detail sheet for you.  That’s right, folks!  You’ll be creating this “Dapper Turkey” in no time.  To order your supplies, you can either click on the image of the products or go to my —->>Online Store.

I hope this brings joy to those you love this Thanksgiving.

Stamped Blessings,
Michelle
