So, I decided to use the NEW Lollipop Treat Stamp and Die-namics and Jumbo Fishtail Banner Die-namics to make cute custom Halloween treat packaging. First, I had to make a trip to Laura Secord, my favorite chocolate shop and Canada's best know chocolatier! I bought some yummy treats and lollipops and then got to work!

I used MME Haunted 6x6 paper pad and cut into my gorgeous new MFT Replenishments cardstock. I used Kraft, Sweet Tooth, Whip Cream and the gorgeous NEW Steel Grey...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Steel Grey cardstock. First, I made a small tent card by folding some Whip Cream cardstock in half and cutting it with the Largest of the Jumbo Fishtail Banner Die-namics, positioning the cutting edge of the Die-namics so it wouldn't cut through the fold at the top of the card.  I think this makes the cutest little note or thank you card. I embellished it with Medium Scallop Border Die-namics, the NEW Large Fancy Flourish Die-namics and the Award Seal Die-namics. I also used the NEW Lollipop Treat Stamps and Die-namics to create the sentiment circle and added a Steel Grey Button to the center with Charcoal Twinery Twine.

Here I bundled up some Lollipops in a cellophane bag (the ones I didn't eat during the making of this project, lol) and tied it with some scrumptious Black Licorice Grosgrain Ribbon and added a Lollipop Treat Stamps and Die-namics sentiment circle to the center of the bow from the from with a Steel Grey Button.

Here is some candy corn and candy pumpkins in a cellophane bag and I made a treat topper using the NEW Jumbo Fishtail Banner Die-namics and the Award Seal. I also cut apart the Large Fancy Flourish cut from Steal Grey Cardstock...this is a great way to use the Large Flourish on smaller projects...love doing this. I also made a Lollipop Treat with the fabulous NEW Lollipop Treat Stamps and Die-namics Set.

....more spooky cute Lollipop treats.

...and some milk chocolate balls and another cute treat bag topper made with the NEW Jumbo Fishtail Banner Die-namics.

This treat bag is filled with dark chocolate balls.

Well, thank you SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at the Halloween treat set that I made with the NEW Lollipop Stamps and Die-namics set and the NEW Jumbo Fishtail Banner and Large Fancy Flourish Die-namics.

Now, head on over to Kim's blog for links to all the wonderful inspiration from the other MFT Designers!

Happy Stampin'!

The papers are from the Echo Park Everyday Eclectic 6x6 paper pad...such pretty colours!

I cut the gorgeous Large Fancy Flourish apart and tucked bits of it here and there. I also used the NEW Jumbo Fishtail Banner Die-namics and the NEW Harlequin Border Die-namics. 

Here is the detail shot of the gorgeous NEW Large Fancy Flourish and NEW Flower Medley embellishment cluster that I added some cotton lace trim to and cut a little "coffee" cup from the Always Time for Tea Die-namics.

There's more...I also made a card with last month's Triple Scoop set, Clearly Sentimental About Grandparents and I used the same gorgeous Echo Park Everyday Eclectic 6x6 pad.

I stamped the sentiment on white card and matted with Decorative Doily Die-namics. I embellished with more beautiful flowers made with the NEW Flower Medley Die-namics and the NEW Large Fancy Flourish Die-namics. I cut a circle tag from the Let's Toast Die-namics set and stamped the word Nana from the Clearly Sentimental about Grandparents set. I have layered both the NEW Jumbo Fishtail Banner and Fishtail Flags Die-namics.

Here is the inside of my card...another sweet sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental About Grandparents Stamp set.

It's hard to believe that Fall, my favorite season, is just around the corner. I love the cool, crisp fresh autumn air and I love wearing a snugly sweater. Halloween means lots of treats and thanksgiving dinner is the best!

Well, Lisa Johnson has designed the ultimate autumnal stamp and die-namics set,  the NEW Primitive Pumpkins Stamps and Die-namics set.  I made this card it and paired the set with the wonderful Authintiqe Carefree 6x6 paper pad.  I made the main panel with the Designer Label 2 and cut the pumpkins with the NEW Primitive Pumpkins Die-namics from pattern paper and stamped the coordinating stamps from the Primitive Pumpkins Stamp set. I also used the vines stamp from the set and added some curly vines around the tops of the pumpkins.  I also used the NEW Picket Fence Die-namics and I added some grass with the Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics. To add a bit of texture I cut 2 Simply Scallop Borders from Burlap material and added a twill tape bow with a Tangy Orange Button. I stamped one of the fab sentiments from the NEW Primitive Pumpkins Stamp set on pattern paper cut with one of the Sentiment Strips.

Here is the inside...the sentiment panel is cut with the Designer 2 Label STAX and I added another Simple Scallop border cut from burlap and some natural twill tape. The sentiment is from the NEW Primitive Pumpkins Stamp set and stamped on pattern paper cut with a Sentiment Strips Die-namics. I also stamped another cute stamp from the NEW Primitive Pumpkins stamp set.


Well, thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card with Lisa Johnson Designs NEW Primitive Pumpkins Stamps and Die-namics Set. Now head on over to Kim's blog for links to all the MFT Designers featuring cards with the NEW Fairy Dust WTG, Primitive Pumpkins, Distressed Diamonds!

So, I made a card with this great sketch and I inked up this cutie, a´ la modes, The Rainbow Will Come. I coloured her up with my Copics and did some paper piecing. I paired her with this sunny and happy Authentique paper called Delightful! I used the Ticket Tab Die-namics as per the sketch but used the long side so that it would fit the sentiment from the ALM The Rainbow will Come stamp set. I also used the Open Scallop Border Die-namics and the Plentiful Petals Die-namics to make this pretty, pretty flower.  

Here is the inside of my card...I stamped the ALM The Rainbow will Come girl again and the other sentiment that comes in the set. I used the Well Worn Label Die-namics and the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics for the sentiment. I couldn't resist adding another gorgeous Plentiful Petals Die-namics flower....love the beautiful assortment of MFT Flower Die-namics...so easy to make coordinating embellishments this way.
