Have a Cuppa Christmas Cheer!

Today I am sharing a Christmas card using the Merry Cafe stamp set based on other cards I saw on the Stampin' Up! website's idea section and Mary Fish's website. Instead of the Coffee Cafe stamp set and an Autumn theme, I chose a Christmas theme.

The original card that inspired my card was a note card sized card, which I love, but I wanted to show more of the Designer Series Paper. So, I made a full-sized 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card. I also raised both the Cherry Cobbler and Coffee Cup cardstock pieces with Stampin' Dimensionals. I kept the Coffee Cup piece straight and offset the Cherry Cobbler piece more.

I used the Be Merry Designer Series paper for my color palette of Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green. I added the Crumb Cake for a neutral grounding element.

The inside of the card uses more of the Be Merry Designer Series Paper. The sentiment comes from the Every Good Wish stamp set. There are some good inside of the card sentiment stamps in this set! You cannot go wrong with a good sentiment stamp set!

I am loving the versatility of the Merry Cafe stamp set! Not only are there stamps for fall and Christmas, but also Valentine's day! I see lots more cards and projects with this stamp set!

Give Thanks Daisy Centerpiece

Fall is my favorite season, for sure. I love banners, candle holders, ceramic pumpkins, wreaths, and more. So, when I find a cute fall home decor piece, you know I can't resist!

I filled this divided wooden box, found at a local craft store, with an autumnal daisy floral arrangement featuring the Daisy Delight Bundle.

Into each of the 6 compartments I placed a floral foam block and 12 daisies - 2 each in 5 colors: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Elegant Eggplant, Tangerine Tango, and Very Vanilla. All but the Very Vanilla daisies are stamped with the same color ink as the cardstock to create a tone on tone look to add a subtle textured-look.

I used a variety of embellishments in the centers of the daisies - the daisy center stamp, sponge daubers, and gold faceted gems to decorate the centers of the daisies.

• Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry Daisies - Crumb Cake cardstock stamped with Chocolate Chip ink for centers
• Very Vanilla Daisies - Crumb Cake ink sponged in the center
• Tangerine Tango Daisies - Tangerine Tango cardstock stamped with Tangerine Tango ink topped with a gold faceted gem
• Elegant Eggplant Daisy - gold heat embossed center. I didn't use the embossing buddy here because I wanted extra little splashes of gold embossing powder for an added shine.

To maximum each sheet of cardstock, I tried to fit as many stamped daisies as I could on each sheet of cardstock. One 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock can fit 12 stamped daisies. I first stamped the top row. Then I stamped the bottom row. Lastly, I stamped the center row.

All of the daisies were put together and attached to floral wire the same way the Halloween wiggle eye floral bouquet was.

Have you created an arrangement with the Daisy Delight Bundle? What color palette did you choose? I would love to see what you make!

Caramel Apple 6-Pack Treat Holder

This is the second treat holder I had on my Thanksgiving table this year - an adorable caramel apple crate with handle.

Here is my spin on Jeanette Cobb's 6-pack chocolate nugget treat holder. I followed her instructions for the basic 6-pack container and then added my own embellishments and color palette. I also changed the candy to caramel filled chocolate apples. Two caramel filled chocolate apple candy pieces are nestled in each side.

The Wood Textures Designer Series Paper really transformed this 6-pack into an apple crate. The acorns on the sides, copper trim bow, and the sponged doily give this treat holder a sweet, homemade apple pie look perfect for fall and Thanksgiving. The doily is lightly sponged with Crumb Cake ink.

These are the two treat holders for each guest on my Thanksgiving table. I would love to see how you set your Thanksgiving table!
