DIE CUT IMAGES SILHOUETTES

I've been playing around with my electronic die cutting machine today. I like to change things up every once in a while and do die cut images instead of stamped images. I used some paper bought a local craft store last fall. I love the colors in it (yellow, orange, brown, and hot pink). I thought the colors and pattern were funky. The die cut images work perfectly with this paper, don't you think?

BISCOTTI POUCH

Made this little Biscotti pouch from an idea I found on a blog a while back. The inspiration was Christmas themed and used larger (longer) Biscotti. I will try some more at Christmas time with larger Biscotti to be more like the inspiration piece. I love biscotti and thought this would be a nice little gift to give my DD's teacher Friday at their fall party along with a pouch mix of Spiced Cider.

Used LOVELY AS A TREE SU! set. Sponged trees with Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, Summer Sun, More Mustard, Old Olive, Always Artichoke classic inks. The sky was sponged in Bashful Blue. Bought a new punch (Acorn) and used it in bottom right corner of the pouch front. Fringe leaf punch (MS) used in top left and bottom right corners for further depth. Misc green butons also used to accent. Dyed the ribbon with really rust ink and tied the top and bottom together.
