Pumpkin Boxes

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

The week is moving right along!

Going to be a nice day here but tomorrow is the start of some crazy weather!

Rain moving in tomorrow with snow flurries and our temps are gonna drop big time.

I am not ready for that kind of weather!!

Today I have a Thanksgiving treat to share.

This box is made from the Curvy Keepsake Box that Stampin Up had out a few years ago. I believe it retired last year. They now have a Mini Keepsake Box that I did not purchase because I already have the big one. 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Atleast that's what my thinking is!

These boxes were actually leftover from a previous year that I did them up for Thanksgiving.

They are Pumpkin Pie cardstock and I stamped the Hardwood Background on them with Pumpkin Pie ink. I only had 4 left and that was enough so I redecorated them with current products!

Project Details:

Stamps: Hardwood Background (retired), Pleasant Pheasants (retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil Paper

Accessories: Curvy Keepsake Box (retired), Oval Layering Framelits, Gathered Leaves Dies, Rhinestones, Braided Trim Ribbon, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I dropped my treats off to my card lady and she absolutely loved these!

So, I hope they do not come back to me for a second time.

And besides, how cute would these be sitting on the table at each person's table setting?!

If they come back to me for a second time maybe that's a sign I need to put them on my own table!

My thoughts today...

I do believe that we are in the home stretch of Fall and winter is trying to make it's move.

Enjoy the beautiful colors of the leaves while we have them because my trees are almost empty!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy the sunshine!

Curvy Keepsake Pumpkin Boxes

Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

It rained all weekend here in PA.

This morning it is still raining and quite gloomy.

There is a touch of Fall in the air atleast for now. 

Last Friday I dug out all my Halloween/Fall decorating stuff.

I also brought up my Halloween Ceramic Christmas Tree that I picked up earlier this year.

It's a bright green with orange bulbs in it and green rhinestones attached.

It is quite a pretty tree and the mold is by Doc Holiday.

It is my absolute favorite! 
I also recently picked up a ceramic Ghost holding a Pumpkin and it lights up. It stands half as tall as my tree. My picture table is all decorated now for Halloween.

Lots of pumpkins and ghosts but nothing scary! 

I got the stuff out to decorate the front porch too but not sure when that will get done with the wind and sideways rains we've been having. Hopefully soon!

So today I am going to start sharing some of my Halloween treats.

The treats I have today are by no means my design so I can't take credit for them.

These boxes are made with the Curvy Keepsake Box that was out maybe 2-3 years ago and I finally gave them a try!

These were quite a bit of work especially to create the witches hats and the paper bow that is attached. I watched a tutorial by Dawn Griffith to create these.

Project Details:

Stamps: Hardwood Background Stamp, Carved & Candlelit (retired), Sparkly Seasons (retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Black Glimmer Paper (retired), Halloween Nights DSP (retired)

Accessories: 2" Circle Punch, Word Window Punch (retired), Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits (retired), Bow Builder Punch (retired), Tree Punch (retired), Black Halloween Doilies (retired), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I had enough leftover Halloween Doilies and Black Glimmer Paper to create 10 of these. 

They really are fun and what a neat project!

I filled them with Halloween Hershey Kisses.

My thoughts today.....

That's all for me!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day...even if it is raining!

I used a new stamp set that was in my recent Stampin Up! order called For All Things. I paired it with the Hardwood Background stamp that was on my table as well since I just used it with my Merry Monday card. I love the old fashioned look it gives to any project.
