September Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hop

This month has just flown by!  I am so ready for fall because it is my favorite season of the year.  I love the cool crisp weather, the beautiful colors when the leaves begin to change, spending time outdoors after the long, hot summer, and last but not least, football season.  As you may have noticed, I am crazy about the Stampin' Up products for the fall season.  The Holiday catalog is full of fabulous bundles for your fall projects but don't forget about the sets in the annual catalog. The Stampin' Pretty Pals have been working hard on their projects for the blog hop this month,. So get ready to be impressed because this group is full of talented papercrafters.

I am sharing my interpretation of a Scarecrow Treat Box I orginally found on Pinterest.  It is made from Fancy Favor Bigz XL.  The first sample is very similar to the one done by Monika Davis.  I added Crumb Cake ink to the Square Lattice folder with my brayer to give depth to the texture.  The fringe around the top is made from the brown packing paper the comes in my Stampin' Up orders.  I am always looking for ways to repurpose it. 

 




 

 

The second version uses many of the same techniques with a few variations. I add the Crumb Cake ink to the opposite side of the Latice folder, which gives the texture a different look.  This scarecrow has an owl for a friend rather than the crow.  It is amazing what can be made with Stampin' Up punches.
