Pumpkin Decor ~ MCT 83rd Edition Release and Blog Hop

Hi, it's Gaylynn here with a Thanksgiving or Autumn pumpkin tag and cake pop table decoration.

It is the MCT 83rd Edition release, sale and blog hop.

You may have arrived from Emily's blog.

Here is a sweet way to add a personal touch to your Thanksgiving table place settings.  I made a pumpkin tag to place on the lace napkin ring.  And I made a coordinating pumpkin shaped cake pop holder.
It would be easy to write names on the napkin ring tags for seating assignments.  I chose to leave them blank for now.

Pumpkin Pop Holder ~ Day 3 MCT 83rd Edition Sneak Peek

Welcome.  The MCT team is sharing Day 3 sneak peeks of the 83rd Edition release.  

Sentiment:  Just for you.

MCT products used:

Pumpkin Lollipop Holder Die
Made With Love

This is a cute table decoration or party favor for Autumn or Thanksgiving.  The pumpkin pop holder was die-cut and then the edges were accented with spiced marmalade distress ink.  The sentiment was stamped directly onto the pumpkin.  For the treat, I added a wrapped chocolate covered coconut macaroon on a pop stick.   A small treat can be adhered inside if you don't want to use a lollipop or cake pop.

You are amazing butterflies card.

Here is an all occasion card featuring butterflies that sparkle.

Sentiment:  You are amazing.

For this card, the butterfly was double stamped and colored in with Copics.  For sparkle, I added tiny dabs of glitter glue in two colors onto the butterflies and around them.  It really sparkles more in person than what the photo shows.  The colors for the frame and the butterflies are burgundy and pink.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process.
