Spooky Treats just for You....{MCT Cook-N-Craft}

Good Morning everyone!

Today I am sharing a project for

MCT's Cook -N- Craft, 

its an anything goes post day BUT we also share a favorite recipe.

Fall is my favorite time of year! The weather cools down, its football season and its 

PUMPKIN time!!

Todays project and recipe is all about pumpkins so lets take a look at my project first!

Total cuteness when it comes to making your own pumpkin treat box! This easy to do project can be made with any color/design of cardstock.
For my project I found some scrap striped paper and used the Stitched Favor Box Die.
Next I stamped the sentiment using the new kit ~Frightful Greetings
For the stem of my pumpkin, I just die cut the top of the Stitched Favor Box in brown cardstock and layered it over the designer paper.
Finishing touches to my project~ I added a green leaf using the die from A Thankful Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now onto my recipe.....

I LOVE pumpkin bread so I am sharing one of my favorites!

 Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

4 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2/3 cup water

3 cups white sugar

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour    

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger  

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans.

In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.

Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

So lets get started!!

Today we are showcasing the new die set~

Scalloped Stitched Circles
and here is the card I made using this set.....

When I started to design my card, I pulled the Doodlebug Designs paper pad~Flea Market

and saw the sunflower sheet. I used that inspiration to design my card, of course using that paper pack for all the designer paper.

I used 2 different size circle dies and the matching scallop dies to make my sunflowers. The leaves were added using the Stitched Pretty Flower & Leaves Dies and A Thankful Heart set.

Moving onto the sentiment, I  used the Ribbon End Banners Die and stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Day set.

So foam to pop up the dies and sentiment and a little white gel pen completes my card.

Happy Thanksgiving w/Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone! 

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog and I am excited to be able to share another project with you all using my featured twine color of the month~

Totally Chocolate along with the adorable 2x2 Kraft Boxes

Can you believe that it is almost Thanksgiving?? I thought I would make a project that can work for the dinner table. These 2X2 Kraft Boxes can be filled with candy and be a fun treat for your guests to take home with them.

To make my project, I started with a 2X2 Kraft Box and covered it with some beautiful designer paper from Recollections~Harvest Collections paper pack. Next using one of the panels (before it was attached to the box) I die cut a leaf using My Creative Time's A Thankful Heart set. I filled the leaf with the Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine then attached it to the box front.

I wanted to add a simple tag as well to by box, so I grabbed a Fun Stitched Tag Die , stamped my sentiment from the Fall Friends set and attached it all to the top of my box with more Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine.

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:
