Acorny Thank You Pillow Treat Pouch 

  NEW Stampin' Up! Square Pillow Box shared by Dawn Olchefske for Aug 2015 Control Freaks Tour #dostamping #2015Holida

As soon as I laid my eyes on the new Square Pillow Box Thinlit, I immediately thought of an open-ended treat pouch.  I was hoping my idea would work out as I envisioned, as my pre-order just arrived (not giving me much time for experimenting).  Well luck would have it - it worked out perfectly.

Here's a closer look at all the fun new details!  Lovin' the new Into The Woods collection (wood leaf and designer series paper).  Also - isn't that acorn cute?  That's from the new fall stamp set, Acorny Thank You.  Guess what...it has a matching punch!

Lighthearted Leaves

Lighthearted LeavesControl Freaks Blog Tour August 2015 Holiday Catalog projects by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup 

Lighthearted Leaves is one of my favorite stamp sets from the new 2015 Holiday Catalog.  Plus, I like that they coordinate with the Leaflets Framelits from the Annual Catalog.

For my card today, I pulled out an oldie but goodie stamping technique...Baby Wipes.  Basically you create your own stamp pad with ink refills.  The large leaves are Blackberry Bliss and Pool Party.  The small leaves are Old Olive and Pool Party.  I love the way this turned out...don't you?
