Burlap and HOOT! ~ Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop

 

Thank you so much for joining us for the October Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad  Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on the Fall season. It’s the time of year when fireplaces start crackling with warmth and we dig out our sweaters. This month’s blog hop will showcase many of the Stampin’ Up! products that are available to make  Autumn themed creations. We hope you enjoy seeing how we use the products to create our projects and feel inspired to come up with some great projects of your own.

You should have just left stop number 13 on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad blog hop –Heidi of Stuck on Stampin'.  If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below. 

 

I've been on a wreath kick the past few weeks, so I have a fun fall wreath to share with you today!

My cute little owl (which survived a little play time with my new puppy) was made using MDS and my Silhouette...love that machine!  I created an svg file in MDS with an enlarged Owl Punch, transferred it over to my Silhouette library and cut him out!  The colorful layers were made with the Large Scallop Edgelit.  And the flowers...oh how I love the Burlap Ribbon and Cotton Ribbon Flowers!  I may not like using the spritzers on the banners, but they are AWESOME for dying the ribbon.  I embossed some of the Antique Brads and In Color Boutique Details with gold embossing powder for the center of the flowers, added a few leaves cut out with the Autumn Accents Die and voila! 

 

Here is a close up of the burlap ribbon flowers... 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Garden Green, Gold Foil Paper, Early Espresso, Island Indigo, Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink ~ Island Indigo, Perfect Plum, Pumpkin Pie

Other Supplies ~ Burlap Ribbon, Cotton Ribbon, Antique Brads, In Color Boutique Details, Gold Embossing Powder, Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Circle Punches, Large Scallop Edgelit

 

While I was cutting out the bigger owl for the wreath, I decided it would be fun to cut out a smaller card size owl too...

 

My house is now fall ready and this cute little owl happily greets all my guests at the front door!

 

Happy Fall and Happy Stamping!

 

Next stop in the hop is Anastasia.

Washi, Glitter, Burlap & BOO ~ Monday Montage

Welcome back to another Monday Montage Hop!  Fall is in full swing for most of us and Halloween is right around the corner!  I decorated my house for Halloween and was happy to add a few new creations to the mix, which I am happily sharing with you today!

First up is my Burlap & BOO wreath for my front door.  I had an image in my mind for a wreath and I was pretty darn excited that it turned out just as I had imagined it!  And I will tell you that I absolutely LOVE the burlap ribbon!!!  Creating the burlap flowers and stenciling the polka dos was so much fun :-D  I had even more fun breaking in my Silhouette to cut out the {very} delicate spider web that I transferred from MDS. 

Supplies Used:

Ink ~ Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

Other Supplies ~ Burlap Ribbon, Build a Banner Kit (stencil), Halloween Banner Accessory Kit (buttons), Witches Brew Designer Washi Tape, MDS (spiderweb)

*The BOO letters came from a local craft store*

This next project let my craft table, me and my poor dog covered in glitter, but it was a lot of fun to make!  I saw some cute Washi pumpkins in a Halloween craft magazine a few weeks ago and could not wait to create my own!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer

Witches Brew Designer Washi Tape, Sticky Strip, Black & Orange Stampin' Glitter, Silver Glass Stampin' Glitter

My house is now complete with all of my Halloween decorations!

Now skip on back to Amy's page or hop ahead to Cathy's page....just be sure to make the full loop so you don't miss out on any of the amazing creations this time around!
