Feelin' Spicy

If you've had an opportunity to take a peek in our new Holiday Mini Catalogue, you've probably seen our new Spice Cake Product Suite offering. I absolutely love, love, love the new Designer Series paper, gorgeous fabric and accessories and the beautiful Fall-inspired stamp set "Gently Falling".

I finally had an opportunity to sit down and create a couple projects using these new products. The first is a step card. It's such a unique card design but still uses a "regular" size piece of cardstock (this is cut 4-1/4 x 11, folded in half). It's the special cuts and scores that give it the unique look.



I started with a Soft Suede base and decorated it with a piece of our Spice Cake dsp, some Very Vanilla seambinding ribbon and the Maple Leaf image from the stamp set. Love!



The second project I made was so quick and simple to put together and my plan is to make more as place setting markers for the Thanksgiving Dinner we're hosting for my hubby's side of the family this year.

It's called a "twist" container and is SO cute! It's the perfect size to add a few chocolate treats.


The "ribbon" is just a 1" strip of our fabric which I literally ripped from one of the three "fat quarters" to give it a rustic look, threaded it through the punched holes and tied a knot.


Quick, simple and SO cute!  The above shows all three fabrics included in the Spice Cake fabric offering.  Even if you don't sew, these fabrics are great for using on cards and other projects in place of ribbon and coordinate perfectly with the dsp.


Hope you like them! :)

Happy Stamping!
