Thanksgiving Treat Box

Looking for some inspiration to use your stamps other than on a card? DT Member Lauren made this treat box using a Splitcoaststampers tutorial for inspiration. Check it out! 

 

 

Lauren used the tutorial to create the box out of orange card stock. On white card stock, she stamped the "Happy Thanksgiving" circle sentiment from Hero Arts stamp set Autumn Leaves in brown and orange ink. She used a circle tool to cut out the two stamped images and layered them with 3D squares. She wrapped a piece of Lawn Fawn's Into the Woods 6 x 6" paper. It didn't quite fit all the way around, but the circle keeps the paper in place.

When you wrap around the paper and keep in place with 3D squares under the circle pieces, make sure you can still slide the wrap off so you can get inside the treat box! These are perfectly sized for Ghirardelli squares! We hope you try this project on your own. Come on by Stamp Fever this weekend to get some supplies. :)

Witching You a Happy Halloween by Lynette

If you're looking for some Halloween inspiration with a vintage feel, DT Member Lynette has a gorgeous card for you!

This card uses the Flourishes set Witching You a Happy Halloween and Thirty One paper by Pebbles. Spectrum Noir alcohol markers were used to color in the Jack-O-Lantern. Leave a comment if you have questions about how Lynette put the card together or any other questions about what supplies she used.

Have Fun Using Die Cutting Machines

Have you seen the amazing die selection we have in the shop? They are very popular! Ever wonder how to use them? Is it difficult? What machine do I need? Or do you have a machine, but it's still in the box because you're not sure how to start? Perhaps you have tried to use it and can't get the paper out or it doesn't cut all the way through. Help is on the way! On October 24th, Robin will be demonstrating die cutting. From the basic how-to's all the way to cutting those very intricate dies. This is a FREE demo, stay as long as you'd like and you just might take that machine out of the box! PLUS, all dies will 15% off!

I Heart Fall by Lynette

Since we had such a fun time with Lawn Fawn this weekend (you can see the photos on yesterday's post) we wanted to share this amazing card by DT Member Lynette who made a card using all Lawn Fawn!

Lynette used the Into the Woods stamp set and the Into the Woods patterned paper, along with the leaf die cuts, flair button, twine and sequins. Isn't it cute? Come by Stamp Fever to see it person and gather the supplies to make your own.

Lawn Fawn Day

We had so much fun hosting Lawn Fawn Day at Stamp Fever and we were so happy so many of you joined us! We are so thankful to Kelly Marie and Mike for coming in with a make 'n take and meeting with all of you. Everyone loved the make 'n take and took advantage of our great deal on Lawn Fawn products. Here are some photos form our event, but make sure to check our Facebook page today to see the rest of the photos!

 

Spooky Tree Card

Happy Friday!

We hope you were able to stop by Stamp Fever yesterday to enjoy our free make 'n take! Today we have a card by DT Member Lynette - a spooky tree card. Keep reading to see how Lynette made her card.

Lynette used Taylored Expressions' Spooky Tree stamp set, a Memory Box Bat die, Lawn Fawn's Into the Woods patterned paper and Heidi Swapp Color Shine for her moon. The grass is punched out with a Martha Stewart Punch.

Don't forget that we are making cards for Taylored Expressions' Share Joy Campaign. Read our past blog post for more info on the campaign and how you can join in! Have a great weekend and we hope to see you at our Lawn Fawn event tomorrow. :)

Lauren's Memory Box Projects - We Moved Card

Today we have Lauren's last project using the Memory Box stamp Spooky Mansion. One difficult thing about buying holiday themed stamps is wondering how you can use them throughout the rest of the year. Lauren's card is a great example of using a Halloween stamp in a non-Halloween way!

 

 

Lauren stamped the mansion stamp in VersaMark and embossed it in white, but didn't stamp the moon part of the stamp. It doesn't look too spooky when it's stamped and embossed in white! She used Neenah paper in white and kraft for this card and used Lawn Fawn products as well. The Stitched Journaling Card die and twine are some of Lawn Fawn's new products. The sentiment "We Moved" is also a Lawn Fawn sentiment but you could also stamp a congratulations if you know someone who just moved to a new home!

 

We hope you enjoyed seeing how you can use a Halloween stamp this week in different ways. We hope to see you this afternoon at our Impression Obsession Treat Make 'n Take!
