This past weekend I held a Team Getaway — 11 team members spent the weekend together in a craftin’ retreat center doing whatever we wanted to do. This is about the 5 year we have done this and it is such a fabulous bonding time. Everyone is assigned in pairs to cover meals and desserts. We have such wonderful meals and so many great snacks all day long. The only planned activity is a shoe box swap. This means each person designed a project and cut supplies for the other 11 people. All the supplies are put in a box and anytime throughout the weekend we each would grab a box and make that project, so at the end of the weekend we went home with our own sample item and 11 other completed items. Everyone did a great job — I am so proud of them, I want to share the projects with you over the next few days.
The first project used the Seasonal Chums stamp set and coordinating framelits and the Cat Punch from the Spooky Nights Suite.
Isn’t this just the cutest!!! We stamped the pumpkin tag from the Seasonal Chums stamp set — colored it with Watercolor Pencils — Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and Old Olive — cut it out with the coordinating Seasonal Tags Framelits and then cut the top of the pumpkins off zig zag like a jack-o-lantern. Then we used the Cat Punch to add black cats to the back of each pumpkin. A little box was created to attach the pumpkins to that holds two Rolo candies.
Let’s Make It:
Watercolor Paper – 2″ x 4″ — stamp pumpkin tag with Black ink — cut out with Seasonal Tag Framelits — color with Watercolor Pencils — cut tops off zig zag
Black – 2″ x 4″ — punch out two black cats — stamp faces from Spooky Cat stamp set with Whisper White ink
Black – 2″ x 2″ — score 1/2″ all four sides — cut small tabs to score line
Fold on all score lines. Put adhesive or glue dot on small tabs and attach to create little box.
Attach cats and pumpkins. Tie ribbon and Black Bakers Twine to decorate the front. I can’t wait to see your fun little treat holder.
