It's a bonus hop! Every now and again there is a 5th Monday in a month, and we do an extra hop. This is one of those times 😁 And since we are so close to Halloween and the US Thanksgiving, we are playing with pumpkins! Pick a Pumpkin, that is.
For those who are new to the Stamp Review Crew, here is a little
background. We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators
that gets together on the first and third Mondays of every month to do a
blog hop. Each hop features a single stamp set to give you loads of
inspiration for that set! The hops are archived at the
Stamp Review Crew blog,
and you will be able to click through each hop at any time, going
directly to the posts for that hop whenever you want! And you can click
on the banner of this post to go to the
master blog roll for this hop also.
If you are following along in order, you just arrived from
Charlet Mallett's blog. I am in awe of her skills!
I made a trio of Mini Treat Bags with the Coffee Break DSP and went to town with the die cuts! I also used a sentiment from Painted Harvest, and another sentiment from Count My Blessings for the notecard inside the bag. I actually cut up an entire pack of the Coffee Break DSP and made 24 Mini Treat bags with it. I am trying really hard to USE UP my current stuff, and this is a great way to use up pretty DSP.
Here is the insert with the sentiment from
Count My Blessings. This is the first time I have used it, and I have been wanting to use it since I got it!
So, all those stamped and die cut pumpkins and branches are actually heat embossed with Clear and Copper embossing powder too. I know. I am crazy! But I adore how they turned out. I set up my MISTI with all of the stamps and was able to whip them all up in short order.
I used Tangerine Tango and Peekaboo Peach cardstock for the die cut pumpkins, Wild Wasabi and Old Olive for the green die cuts.
I kinda love the blue pumpkins. These are Soft Sky.
So, how do you like those pumpkins? 😎 Now, bear with me. I have to be Gramma Tanya for a minute.
I got to spend a few days with my 3 year old grandson, Cameron, this
week. And we carved a pumpkin together! A puppy pumpkin, because Cameron
loves puppies.
We had to take the pumpkin into the bathroom, close the door, and light the candle so he could see it all lit up.
Then, because he loves puzzles too, we had to put all the pieces back together. 😂😏😊 OK, back to our hop!
Ann Schach is our next stop, and I can't wait to see what she has created!

You are amazing! I love the pocket cards! So many combinations and they are all beautiful! And the carved pumpkin is almost as cute as your grandson!
A great selection and variety of bags -- and I love the unexpected blue!
Tanya, these are gorgeous! I love the multicolored stamping - I had fun with that technique, too! Each of the pocket cards is adorable on its own and as a set they are stunning! I love that you used non-Halloween/autumn specific papers to show how versatile DSP can be!
Oh my stars! These are fabulous, Tanya! Why I don't make more pocket cards, I'll never know. You are an inspiration for sure!
Such pretty treat bags! And I agree with you - I love the blue pumpkins.
Cute treat bags!
