Happy Fall! I'm back with a couple of projects I made for this month's PTI blog hop.
My first one is a re-purposed tea canister (if you are a tea drinker
and enjoy apple cider, try Republic of Tea's Hot Apple Cider herbal
tea--it tastes just like cider without the sweetness and it smells
heavenly!) that I dressed up with some patterned paper, a strip of
brown fabric as a bow, a handcrafted tag and some die cut foliage.
The tag features the Autumn Acorns stamp set and dies and the Borders
& Corners Circle set. The die cut orange sprigs that are tucked
under the fabric are from the Winterberry die set. This little canister
would be perfect for packaging up some ginger spice cookies and sharing
with a friend.
My second project is a Halloween treat bag that I crafted using the
larger boxy banner die. I cut two of the banner shapes out of orange
felt. Then I used the jack-o-lantern face dies from the Shape Up
pumpkin die set to cut out the face pieces from black felt. I stitched
the face onto the front of one of the banner pieces, then blanket
stitched the two banners together creating a pocket. Some chartreuse
ribbon stitched in for a handle, and you have a little handmade treat
sack for a special pumpkin in
your life!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I look forward to seeing what you've created for the hop!

BEAUITFUL!!!
This is lovely, Victoria! I love it! Your pumpkin pouch is very sweet, too!
Great job with the challenge!
The altered tea canister creates such a warm and cozy look for a fall gift wrap. Love the chunky 'ribbon and bow' made from fabric. the pumpkin treat bag is so sweet, too!
I love both projects, but I think the pumpkin is my favorite!
I love these packaging. Need to try one too.
Great projects. Love the bow on the canister. The pumpkin candy holder is darling. Love how you used the banner die. Very creative. I think I will have to make some for my grandaughters.
Both are just precious! The acorn tag is perfect!
Both projects are fabulous Victoria!
Great projects Victoria, especially like the tea/cider wrap since I give that as a gift myself!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Love them both, totally awesome!!
Both of your projects are great. I especially like those sweet little acorns on the tag.
These are adorable, great job!!
beautiful projects - love the make over on the canister & what a great idea to use the banner die to make a gift pouch!
Oh how I love those acorns!
both projects are wonderful!
What fun ideas! Love your creative use of the banner die as a pumpkin pouch!
I LOVE both projects!!! Thanks for the tea info.. gonna look for that here!!
Have a GREAT day!
Wow Victoria...love both of your ideas! But I think I love the pumpkin bag the best...it is so cute! The tea canister is perfectly matched to the fall accents and I swear I can smell the spice cookies in them.
Both your projects are lovely. Great idea to use the banner dies to make a pouch. I often think of your kindness and still wonder where on earth that parcel is! Take care.
