I did a little Googling to find a color palette that might fit with some of the marker colors I had on hand and found this gorgeous assemblage of colors, which inspired my cardmaking today. I don't often work with pre-fabricated color palettes, but chose to do so today, for the fun of it!

I started by stamping my image using a hybrid ink from Scrapbookcom called Leather. It's one of my favorites for stamping in natural tones, and it works well with either alcohol markers or watercoloring.  They're having a sale right now and coupon code HOLIDAY will get you an additional 10% off your purchase through Sunday Nov. 9th. Check out the coupon section for add-on freebies!

These are the OLO Marker colors I used:

OR1.0, O4.6, Y2.2, OR4.2, YO2.5, YO2.3, YG8.5, 02.7, OR3.4, R0.6, OR2.5, OR1.6, YG8.7

After coloring my images, I masked an area around the whipped cream with mint tape and splattered on some Pops of Color liquid embellishment in Chocolate Kiss, diluted with a bit of water. Then, I went in and added extra dots from the bottle, onto my whipped cream.

Here's a bonus tip: To get your liquid embellishments flattened so it doesn't dry with a curl, take your embellished card panel, pick it up and slap it against a hard surface like your craft table. This will flatten your liquid embellishment drops. 

For my sentiment, I did some heat embossing using Wow Embossing Powder in Verdant which is a mix of gold and green colors. I also did some ink blending around my card panel using Catherine Pooler Ink in Icing On The Cake and Amber.

Lastly, the backing for my card panel was created using a dark solid green paper from my Market Bloom paper pad and Simon Hurley Bark 3D embossing folder, run through my Platinum 6 die cut system.

Thanks so much for stopping in. I adore this stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps and it comes with several different sentiments. I hope you'll join the hop, get to making!

Cozy Book and Tea Lover Card

Hello friends. I pullled out some Catherine Pooler products over the weekend, just to have a little creative play time. You know what I'm talking about, that urge to create! I grabbed some inks, papers and the Flavors of Fall stamp & die set. Scroll down for brief creative details. You'll find my supply list at the end of this post.

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

I started with an A2 sized vertical scored card, then trimmed a 3"x 3 1/4" card panel and another one, approximately 3 1/4" x 3 1/2". 

I swiped the smaller panel with Catherine Pooler Designs (CPD) Cove Blue Ink, then used my blender brush around the edges with more ink to make it darker.

My larger card panel was ink swiped with CPD Goldenrod ink.

My tea cup was stamped with Goldenrod ink and I masked off the edges of the cup with tape on the lower left to stamp a leaf design with CPD Mandarin Spice ink. The leaf is also part of the Flavors of Fall stamp set.

Next, I trimmed a cute tea bag from some patterned paper from the CPD Right At Home paper pack, and adhered it to my cup with a tiny piece of burlap string from my stash. You could also use white thread as an alternate to the burlap string.

My donut from the same stamp set was stamped with  CPD Amber and Apricot ink, then heat embossed in white. I added tiny "candy" dots using my Scrapbookcom Pops of Color in Orange Squeeze. My sentiment was also heat embossed.

 

My books and candle were also trimmed from the Right At Home patterned paper, and I used a q-tip with some white paint to smudge in a glow behind the candle.

Lastly, the wooden "table" was created from the same paper pack and I trimmed it with angles on each end to give the appearance of a table. Creating tables and counter tops with paper is one of my favorite things to do for a scenic card. It's so easy and simple but offers a great impact.

To create the table, cut your paper 1/2"H x 3 1/4"W. Then trim angles on each side by at least 1/2"-3/4".

Thanks so much for popping in. This would be such a fun card to give the book lover or tea lover in your life. Have a great week, everyone!

Terri

Treat Cones for Catherine Pooler

How do you curl up in colder weather? Catherine Pooler Designs has really got my DIY juices flowing with their new release out today, Curl Up With Winter. I love baking and over the next couple months, I'll be making many, many batches of Chex Snack Mix. Not the microwavable version, but the best version....in the oven! I've created some paper treat cones which are such adorable little containers for my treats. I'm also featuring the Personalize This stamp set (free w/$50 purchase), dies and the Right At Home patterned paper pad. Scroll down for instructions on how to make these fun cones! My clickable supply list can be found at the end of this post.

Treat Bag Toppers

I had a completely different plan for this project, initially. I was going to alter some treat cups but never could find any locally. That's when I came up with a plan to make some paper cones.

This is a great project for double-sided paper, but you can also adhere two single sided sheets together, which is what I did. The CPD Right At Home patterned paper is a really sturdy cardstock so that is even better. Thin paper could easily crumple so make sure you use a heavyweight paper or cardstock.

I'm sure there are tutorials out there for making paper cones, but per my usual style, I winged it. my measurements above are based on a 6x6 inch sheet of patterned cardstock.

I started by scoring two triangles at the lower half of my cardstock, starting at 4 1/4" inches from both sides. These will be my overlapping flaps.

From the top of each score line, I went up a half inch, then trimmed both sides of the top portion of my cardstock at an angle, which measured approximately 3 7/8" from the top of my paper.

It should end up looking somewhat like an envelope.

Before securing your scored flaps, fold each one and run your score tool across for a good, crisp fold. Then fold one flap over the over and staple near the top center. The staple will be covered with the label.

Next, I stamped my labels with CPD Cargo ink, then did some watercoloring with CPD ink in Amber and Green Tea, using a waterbrush. I also applied some ink splatters with the Amber ink onto my labels. Next, I used the coordinating label die with my Platinum 6, to cut my labels.

Here's that big 'ole batch of homemade baked Chex snack mix. You'll also see some Crispix cereal in there too. I will buy Crispix when I can since my rationale is there's corn and rice on each side and why buy 2 boxes of corn and rice cereal when you can buy one! Does anyone else do this?

I also always throw in extra of everything, including double the amount of Worcestershire sauce, extra butter, spices, etc. This is how my mom always made it, so of course, heaven forbid I veer from family tradition! It's all boys in my house, so this stuff goes fast!

After my cones were assembled, I decided to add some small trimmed 5x5 inch sections of trimmed parchment paper, so there's no transfer of grease from the snack mix to my perfectly pretty cones.

I also had some burlap ribbon in my stash and trimmed and adhered some strips to the inside front of my cones, just to pretty it up even more. I think it adds a bit of a rustic feel which I really like.

Once you make your first paper cone, you will be surprised how quick they are to make. You could easily make multiples for upcoming Fall Festivals, school events, parties and more. Just get an assembly line format going, you could assemble at least 2 per minute. Or curl up for movie night with the family and surprise everyone with a cone filled with treats...popcorn, candy, baked goods....just have fun with it! I even picked up some cellophane wrap at the Dollar Tree so I can have it on hand for wrapping my cones as gifts.

Don't forget, if you place a $50 order with Catherine Pooler, you will receive the Personalize This stamp set free when you add to cart and use coupon code MADEBY at checkout! The stamp and die set is also available for purchase as a bundle or separately.

I appreciate you so much stopping in and I hope this inspires you to get crafty with diy paper cones! If you make some, tag me on social media @wavingmywand, I would love to see them!
