Pile It On for the Holidays

Flavorlopes

This week at Pile It On we're celebrating Holidays! This doesn't include birthdays or special occasions, but actual holidays (this includes funny holidays).

We have a special sponsor this time, Flavorlopes, the Flavored Envelope Company! I ordered a pack of their Caramel Apple-flavored envelopes, so I wanted to make a card that would work well with them.

I used a digi that I won some time back from Make It Crafty, Home Sweet Home:

The patterned "wallpaper" is paper-pieced onto white cardstock, and I colored the image with Copics. I made the "butterscotch candies" by wrapping yellow tissue paper around a stack of cardboard circles cut on my BigShot (big piece) and a round adhesive foam pop-dot (small piece).

I generated the sentiment myself, using the free font Janda As Long As You Love Me. I embossed the white backing piece with a Cuttlbug Texture Folder, and cut the arches with a Sizzix die. The image is cut with a Spellbinders die, and distressed with TH ink.

I first heard of Flavorlopes from the always-hip Stephen Colbert:



Flavored Envelopes‽ Thank you Stephen! (I always enjoy a good Phish joke too!) I saw Flavorlopes mentioned several places after that, and contacted them via FaceBook because, well, one of the perks of being part of the Pile It On Challenge team is that I get to pick some awesome sponsors! They are generously offering one random winner a box of his/er choice of their Holiday Flavors, so you know you want to enter this one!

Inspiration/Challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenge: Anything goes
Crafty Boots: Home
Fussy and Fancy: Anything Goes
Love to Create: Trick or Treat OR Something Sweet
Merry Monday #37: Sketch
Totally Papercrafts: Christmas (I know the sentiment is "New Year" but the color scheme is Christmas)

Hope you'll share your Holiday cards with us this week at Pile It On, and maybe even go grab some Flavorlopes to make the season a bit more delicious! Thank you for visiting,
