Creep It Real! - A Cute Stampin' Up! Halloween Treat Alternative

TGIF! I know I have been among the missing these past several days, but once again, the day job strikes again with insane scheduling and extreme busyness. Needless to say, there has been NO visits to the craft room this week...no crafting, makes for a sad me. On a positive note, after today, I will be on a staycation and that means LOTS of crafty time.

Anyway, enough about my whining, I want to share cute project that I made to take to the craft fair I attended as a vendor last weekend. Now, this is NOT my original design. I can in no way take credit for this, but thought it was just too cute and fit in perfectly with the Teal Pumpkin Project. Haven't heard of it? Well let me tell you about it. You place a teal colored pumpkin outside your door so that parents with children that have food allergies know that you are offering alternatives to food/candy for your tricks or treats and can feel comfortable coming to your door. If you would like to learn more about this great idea, just click The Teal Pumpkin Project to find out more.

Again, this is NOT my idea but did fall in love with it. I'm pretty sure the original idea came from Erica Cerwin from Pink Buckaroo Creations, just don't swear me to it? I picked up a package of toothbrushes from my local Dollar Tree and packaged them individually in our 2" x 8" cello bags and "sealed" them with a 2" x 4" piece of Real Red cardstock scored and folded at 2" and stapled closed. I then stamped the image from the Creep it Real stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock and fussy cut them out after I colored them in with my Blender Pens and Real Red ink. Punched a couple of holes at the top of the lip, used some retired ribbon I had and tied on a pair of "fangs" I picked up at Dollar Tree. Again, a very quick and simple project that can be given out without fear of introducing an allergen to a child with food allergies.

I hope this inspires you to try something different for your trick or treators this season. Until next time, have a great day.

Coffee Cafe Treat

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! I hope you're enjoying your week? It's been a busy one around here, prepping for a couple of classes and a craft fair/vendor event has had me hopping, not to mention my full time job. Lucky for me, I LOVE what I do!
Today, I want to share a cute project I made for my up coming vendor event using one of my favorite product suites from the Annual Catalog, Coffee Cafe. It's so easy to overlook these gems this time of years since we get wrapped up into the awesomeness of the Holiday Catalog. But this suite of product is just to amazing to ignore; so I came up with this idea after finding these nice little coffee treats in my local Walmart.

If you would like to reproduce this project, you will need the items listed below and for a free tutorial on how I made this treat box, be sure to sign up for my newsletter before Friday to have it delivered directly to your inbox

2nd Annual Ultimate Pink Blog Hop

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Ultimate Pink Blog Hop! I am so glad you stopped by and are following along the hop. This month our theme is Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog, Katrina's Kreative Heart (Katrina Wolfe) or you may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to log so you see all the amazing projects. At the moment, you are visiting Katrina Wolfe.

As most of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I am so honored to be able to participate in this hop as Breast Cancer awareness and prevention and finding a cure are pretty important to me. I have lost friends to this horrific disease and I have watched friends fight and win a courageous battle only to turn around and have to battle complications related to their fight. I know in my heart it's just a matter of time for that break through to find the ultimate cure, but we all must do our part, so, I have decided to take a stand against this disease by holding a Stamp Out Breast Cancer Class next week, featuring the Ribbon of Courage stamp set. and I am donating my sales commission for the month of October to Breast Cancer Research in order to do my part. And, for every order of $25 or more using the October Host Code, will receive 3 free card kits in the mail and you will be entered into the drawing for the $15 Host Rewards at the end of the month.

Today, I want to share with you another card I made featuring the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and coordinating dies.

I love the encouraging sentiments in this stamp set. I used the beautiful In-colors Powder Pink and Berry Burst. I think the Berry Burst adds just the right amount of pop to this card.

I hope you are enjoying the hop. I want to thank you for taking the time to hop along with us, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss. Remember, you are currently on my blog, Katrina's Kreative Heart (Katrina Wolfe) so, continue through the line up by clicking on the link to the next blog in line and be sure to leave comments as you move along so we know you stopped by; we love to read what you have to say.

Painted Harvest Mason Jar Gift

Good Morning and Happy Saturday! I have a really cute project for you today that will make an adorable little gift for a co-worker, teacher, bus driver etc. It's a cute little mason jar filled with yummy peanut butter M & M's!

I love the Fall colors of these tasty little morsels. They're actually too pretty to eat but I thought they would make adorable gifts and craft fair items. And the best part...they're too stinkin' easy! I just wrapped a piece of the Old Olive mini Chevron Ribbon around the lid and tied it into a bow. 

I then die cut a piece of Very Vanilla using the largest stitched circle die from the Stitched Shapes collection and stamped the foliage from the Painted Harvest stamp set, with Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive inks all around the die cut circle and added the sentiment and acorn with with Early Espresso. I added this to the top of the mason jar with a few Glue Dots.

I hope you've enjoyed today's project. I would love to hear your thoughts.
