Fun Fold Pine Cones

DSCN9588

Crisp and clean...not a lot of fuss on the front. The BOOM happens when this card is opened!

DSCN9589

Here's a cool fun fold that I received in a swap - I LOVE Fun folds!  She used the Wonderland stamp set and the Woodland Embossing Folder...DID YOU KNOW that this embossing folder is retiring with our Holiday Mini Catalog -GASP!!!! Not kidding!  It's not going to be in the next catalog - it's going bye bye.

DSCN9590

To make a card like this - you simply cut two card bases and score the inside one at 5-1/2 and then fold each side in half again.  Run it through your Big Shot with the Oval Framelit in the middle to cut out the opening. SUPER EASY RIGHT???

TURKEY PRETZELS RODS INGREDIENTS

Pretzel Rods
Reese’s Pieces, orange and yellows, cut in half
Chocolate Chips, or candy melts
Candy corn, assorted
Candy Pearls
Chocolate Rice Cereal
TURKEY PRETZELS RODS DIRECTIONS

  • Break Pretzel Rods in half.
  • Melt Chocolate in microwave, 30 seconds and stir, 15 second increments stirring after each until melted and smooth, let sit at least 5 minutes to set up just a little to make it easier to work with.
  • On a piece of wax paper lay out 3 candy corns in a fan shape with the pointy side in.
  • Using a spoon cover a Pretzel Rod with Chocolate. Leave a little extra on the top back part to stick to the candy corn.
  • Lay the Chocolate covered pretzel over the Candy Corn so they stick out the tops.
  • Apply 2 Pearls for eyes at the top end by the Candy Corn. You may need to hold them for a few seconds so they set.
  • Using a toothpick, dab it in the Chocolate and gently apply a dot to each pearl.

And Thanksgiving from a different prospective:

Reason for the Season

DSCN0010

Isn't this card pretty?  I just fell in love with it.  I love the combination of Soft Sky with the bold red and that little bit of gold glitter is just perfect! This card uses the Reason for the Season stamp set and matching Festive Flower Builder Punch. You can see more details below.

Need a new dessert for your Thanksgiving feast?  Try this out!!!  Jaime Krause brought this to our stamping class last week and it was delicious!!!

 

No Bake Pumpkin Shortbread Bars

Ae39dd8a5fd30a9f05c98e42477758b6

 

Ingredients:

2 cups shortbread cookie crumbs, divided
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
One 15-ounc can LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin (or 1 3/4 cups)
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup milk
One 3.5-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups whipped topping, thawed
Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs, butter and sugar. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8 1/2 x 11-inch pan. Place the pan into the freezer while you prepare the rest of the dessert. You want the crust to firm up.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to soften up the cream cheese and mix until creamy. Mix in the sugar, then the pumpkin and sour cream until well-combined. Add in the milk and the dry pudding mix, and beat for 1 minute.
Remove the pan from the freezer and spread the pumpkin mixture evenly on top. Spread the whipped topping on next. Then sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs on top.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least a couple of hours before cutting and serving.

....just in time for Thanksgiving! (Thanks Denise!)

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.

For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
