Halloween Treat Box plus Labor Day Sale!

Labor Day is upon us and I hope you all are getting some crafty shopping in this weekend! I know I am.  I recently purchased the Crate Paper Hey Pumpkin collection from Scrapbook.com and have fallen soooo in love.  Today, I'm featuring a plain treat box that I upcycled and jazzed up with the Hey Pumpkin scrapbook papers.  Stick around for a minute or two, because I've got a coupon code for you!

I often grab treat boxes on clearance at end of season sales.  I also use my Cricut Explore on occasion to make treat boxes, but for this project, I thought I'd do some upcycling.  Since I had an entire package that's been sitting in my stash, I took one, cut it into two sections, then used as a template to trace on my papers.  Next, I fussy cut my papers and adhered them to my already assembled kraft box, using my EZ Grand Runner and super sticky Grand Ultra refill from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  You'll find product links below.




The Hey Pumpkin puffy stickers were too cute to pass up!  Scrapbook.com has their own brand of exclusive dies and I used the Jumbo Nested Tag Die Set for this tag.  It features ink blending, white on white embossing and a cute little scene that I created using the papers and puffy stickers.  

Are you following me on Instagram?  I share a lot of creative tips there, including the white on white embossing.  Just sponge on some white pigment ink and sprinkle white embossing powder, tapping off the excess.  Heat with your craft heat tool for a very cool effect.  Is it snow?  Is it moonlight?  You be the judge!




You can get an additional 10% of your entire purchase now through Labor Day, midnight MST by using coupon code 2019EXTRA10 at checkout. How awesome is that?  Stock up on your seasonal supplies for cardmaking and scrapbooking now!



Thanks so much for popping in.  I hope you love this project.  Let me know in the comment section!  You'll find affiliate product links below that will take you directly to the product.  Have a great weekend and I hope you're able to celebrate with friends and family!  Terri

Watercolored Autumn Leaves Card

Hello friends.  Today, I'm sharing another Autumn card, featuring products from Sunny Studio Stamps.  You'll find links to most of the products that I used, at the end of this post.  While you're here, let me mention that Scrapbook.com is celebrating their 20th Anniversary in the craft and hobby industry.  Wow! They're one of my absolute favorite companies that I love to shop with online.  Be sure you check out the deals/coupon section to see what the daily deals are, plus, there's usually a freebie posted as well!  

Before shopping, scroll down for a few creative details on my project.

As I mentioned, I'm using some brand new products from Sunny Studio Stamps.  Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year and I love making seasonal cards.  




When stamping my leaf images, I used Catherine Pooler ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  It gives my stamp a much crisper image and better flow for watercoloring.

The technique I used is to swipe my water based brush marker (Tombow and Marvy are great choices) on my Waffle Flower Water Media Mat, then grabbing the color with a damp waterbrush.  I did stamp my leaves onto Strathmore watercolor paper.  You can use mixed media paper as well.





I usually start with darker colors on the edges and work my way in with the lighter colors.  Be sure and expel a bit of water from your water brush, onto a paper towel before grabbing another color.  You also don't want the colors to absorb into the barrel of the water brush which can muddy up your colors.  If that happens, just unscrew your waterbrush and refill with fresh water.




My sentiment was also inked with Catherine Pooler ink, onto Neenah cardstock.  I popped up the partial heat embossed sentiment onto colored cardstock, using foam tape.  All my adhesives are from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.


Don't miss out on the sale and freebies at Scrapbook.com!  Plus, their shipping is super reasonable...as low as $3.99!  THIS is #myscrapbookcom!
