Fall

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for September 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month our projects represent our favorite year end Season. It may be Autumn, Winter, Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas (and maybe even a combination!) We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

After I quickly eliminated Winter from my list of favorite seasons ( I do live in Iowa where it’s very cold and very snowy for a very long time each winter) I had a hard time picking between the rest. Autumn in Iowa is gorgeous and probably my favorite time, but I also love Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! I love making cards, but boxes are probably my very favorite thing to make. Last week I made this 3 Nugget Box. Jan commented and asked me to design a 5 Nugget Box.

So Jan, this one is for you, my very first 5 Nugget Box.

The Petals & Paisleys Specialty DSP is perfect for Autumn or Thanksgiving.

I first used traditional Milk Chocolate Hershey’s Nuggets wrapped in silver foil. This DSP seemed like gold would be a better choice. Abby graciously ran to the store and got some Milk Chocolate with Toffee & Almonds wrapped in gold foil. ( These Nuggets are very tasty!) I do like how they look with gold.

Which do you like the 3 Nugget box or the 5 Nugget box? I always make a “to go” treat for my guests at our big Thanksgiving Day celebration. Since they always go home so full, I may use this DSP but cut back to the 3 Nugget box.

Please stop back tomorrow for picture directions to make the 5 Nugget box. Please subscribe to my blog.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Get ready for Fall with this set of tempting treat holders! Each treat holder is made using the fabulous new Popcorn Box Thinlits. You’ll see how versatile these thinlits are when you learn how to make a Treat-Filled Popcorn Box, a Pocket Treat Holder and a Basket. Just a few quick and easy adjustments make these simple, but oh, so cute little gifties! Plus you’ll see how to adapt the new Suite Seasons Stamp Set into more general sayings for anytime use! And the coordinating card can be used with any one of the treats for gift giving!

This lovely project was designed byJulie Beltramo ! If you have a chance, please head on over to Craft Project Central and leave Julie a comment on her project.

Did you know the Super Bowl is happening in Iowa today?  Yep, every year when two of our state schools play each other in football almost everyone in the state becomes a football fan or at least enjoys tailgate food and a get together.  Our church even had a tailgate party after church tonight so people could fellowship and watch the game on the big screen.  We stayed and chatted with some friends and then came home so Superman could whip up some guacamole and pineapple brats.  Steve and I graduated from Iowa, Abby is probably going to Iowa next fall.  Sean graduated from Iowa State (ISU), Ryan is a junior at ISU and Keegan plans to go there.  So we have three Iowa fans and three Iowa State fans.

The decorations below belong to my stamping friend and team mate, Linda.  She has a daughter at Iowa and son at ISU.  I need to get with it and get some “house divided” decorations for our Iowa Superbowl.  Go Hawkeyes!

When I posted my 3 Nugget box the other day, Jan commented and asked me to make a 5 Nugget box.

Here’s the directions for the 3 Nugget box.  I almost have the directions for the 5 Nugget box ready to go.  Please come back and check out the 5 Nugget box.

Please subscribe to my blog, follow me on Pinterest here or Facebook here.

I have a group Pinterest board for demos or anyone who makes Stampin’ Up cards or gifts.  Please follow the group board here and send me an email Beth@StampingMom.com and let me know you want to post your projects on the group board.  Once you’ve been invited, you can invite your friends or team mates to also post Stampin’ Up projects on the board.  Your Pinterest exposure will greatly increase if you post to group boards.   Also, please click on the “heart” icon and like the cards you like on the board.  This will also increase Pinterest exposure.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
