Today's the day for the PaperTrey Ink September 2018 Blog Hop! This is the inspiration photo! Isn't it beautiful?? I didn't have any pumpkins to use, but I went along with the color scheme, the plaid, the drinks and those big beautiful leaves. Here's how I was inspired:
In case you didn't already know... I LOVE plaid... I think it's just so cool how diverse the patterns can be and the colors... and it feels cozy to me.... maybe because of flannel and the general homey feeling. SO of course I had to get this beautiful plaid Oval3 Shape Shifter when it was released this month! And I was so excited it came in time to use it for this project! And it's awesome to make a shaker out of! With the wide frame it's easy to add the pop up tape and I cut my clear layer using a plain old oval die that was big enough... easy peasy!
And this awesome new Merry Mug stamp set! Love this one! By the time I checked out last week I wasn't able to get the die... but it's easy enough to cut out and I will get the die when it becomes available again... I'm sure there will be other stuff I need to have by then...lol! This cup is so cool because the main part of the cup leaves a strip in the middle and you have a couple choices of how to stamp that strip... I thought the one that said Yum was just right! I used one of my favorite steam dies from Paper Sweeties for the steam.
Those cool leaves and pretty little flowers are from the Grand Botanicals die set and that sentiment from Cozy Christmas was perfect!
