This card features the new set called Halloween Gnomes. If you saw last year's holiday set called Holiday Gnomes, then these will be a welcome addition to your collection. I think a few of the designers made their gnomes fall/halloween last year, so this was a natural choice, I think! LOL! I stamped ALL of the images, but only ended up using the ones you see here. I will save the others for a future project. I colored them using an assortment of alcohol markers. The background of today's card features the new This and That 6 by 6 pattern paper pad.

The new Rounded Stitched Window Confetti Cuts reminds me of a large headstone, so I chose to use it as the focal point of today's card as well as a place to add the Trick Or Treat Confetti Cuts. I die cut the word twice and glued it together using a 2 way glue pen and adhered it to the window. I added it to the focal panel using foam squares.

I die cut all of the colored images using the Holiday Gnomes Confetti Cuts and added them to the card using foam squares.

A few sparkling clear sequins finish off this festive design! My cute 5 year old asked if it was his Halloween card and if he could have it! I love that kid!

My second project for today uses a beautiful new fall set called With a Thankful Heart that you are sure to love! I used it to create these fall treat containers that will brighten anyone's day!

To begin, I stamped all of the images using black ink and then colored them using Copic markers!  I originally started with an orange pumpkin, but then decided that I should try it in white, since I love them so much and they are so trendy right now! By leaving it white, it really lets the flowers pop! I die cut everything using the new With a Thankful Heart confetti cuts. 

The sentiment, which is from the new Sentimentally Yours stamp set, is heat embossed in white onto a black strip of cardstock. The new "With a Thankful Heart" has a lot of neat sentiments as well, but I wanted to use these scripty ones for this particular project.

I added a strip of the new This and That pattern paper onto the Bitty Window Bag using ScorTape. Since it would be on a bendable surface,I wanted to make sure it would be secure. I added the die cut elements using foam squares.

Each bag is filled with chocolate covered raisins , but you could use any type of treat that you think the recipient would like.

I tied them up with some twine for some rustic detail! I had so much fun working on today's projects! I hope you'll join me for day 3 of the Countdown tomorrow! Thanks for fluttering by!
