The countdown is on to Halloween! Do you need a quick and easy treat idea? I’ve got it for you! It’s been a busy week with events so I decided to make a last minute Halloween treat for friends. A favorite treat in our household is Harvest Mix which is a combination of Chex, bugles, pretzels enrobed in a sauce with candies added. Click here for the Harvest Snack Mix Recipe.

Of course, the snack mix needs packaging. The Mosaic Gusseted Cellophane Bags are the perfect for holding one heaping cup of the mix. After adding the mix, fold over approximately one inch of the top edge. Use a hole punch to punch two holes and run ribbon through to tie the bags closed. For an added touch, tags are created using the Banner Year Stamp Set and the Little Treats Bundle. Super simple!

You still have a couple of days until Halloween so there’s time to prepare the Harvest Snack Mix. It makes lots so you’ll have plenty for gifting and for enjoying yourself! Drop me a comment and let me know if you try the recipe.

Happy Fall Y’All!

Oct 21, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Autumn Punch Pack, Banner Year Stamp Set, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Gilded Autumn Specialty | 0 comments

For today’s post, I’m sharing the Happy Fall Y’all! card made in the October card class. The card is a project from a recent online workshop that I attended. I did make a few alterations – changing the sentiment and layer measurements but the card design is by Melanie Hockin. The multiple layers and the wreath shape creates lots of visual interest. Isn’t the card beautiful? Thank you Mel for a gorgeous card design!

Project Materials for Happy Fall Y’all Wreath Card:

Thick Very Vanilla Cardstock (5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score and fold at 4-1/4” for card base)
Cajun Craze Cardstock (3” x 3”)
Very Vanilla Cardstock (3-1/4” x 4-1/2”, 3” x 3”)
Mint Macaron Cardstock (3-1/2” x 4-3/4”)
Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (Cajun Craze background: 3-3/4” x 5”; Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze scraps to punch leaves)
Greenery Embossing Folder
Layering Circles Dies
Gold Hoop Embellishments
Autumn Punch Pack
Banner Year Stamp Set
Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad
In Good Taste Elements
Metallic Ribbon from the Basket Weave/Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack

Directions:

Layer the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Mint Macaron cardstock onto the Thick Very Vanilla card base.
Texture emboss the 3-1/4” x 4-1/2” Very Vanilla cardstock with the Greenery Embossing Folder. Adhere to the Mint Macaron layer on the card base.
Die cut a layering scalloped circle from Cajun Craze cardstock and a layering circle from Very Vanilla cardstock. Adhere together and add to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Attach a gold hoop to the center of the Very Vanilla circle.
Arrange veneer elements around the hoop and circle. TIP: gently snap off a short stem from a veneer element and add it inside the hoop. Attach the elements with mini glue dots.
Layer and attach leaves onto the left side of the gold hoop.
Embellish with a small ribbon bow.
Stamp sentiment onto strip of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad. Attach to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper contains beautiful prints making it easy to select a color palette for card fall themed designs. Adding multiple layers along with texture embossing also elevates a card and is a great way to “take it up a notch.” Good tips to remember when you want to make an extra special card!
