This is where having a new Silhouette Cameo is awesome. I've had so much fun experimenting with it. I picked out a 3.5 inch circle box from the store, then paired that with my Grand Nestabilities Circles dies for the hat bottom. I love how it turned out!
I made a little 3 x 3 card using Flourishes Feminine Charm set, because the hat from the set worked perfectly. I coloured with Copic Markers in the Sunflower Collection, Creamy Collection, and Flesh Tones II Collection. I accented the hat and card with some pretty ribbons, and leaf trinket pins, as well as some Prima faceted Crystals.
Here is the back of the hat with the ribbons trailing down.
I had some cute sunflowers in my stash and I thought they'd go perfectly.
Inside you can see the "lid" of the box attached to the hat brim and the top part of the box goes into the brim. It turned out so well! I wish I could have seen her face when she opened it.

Gorgeous box! Love those sunflowers. In the fall I love to make apple crisp. I actually don't use a recipe anymore, just peel and slice the apples, mix with sugar and cinnamon. Then I mix equal parts flour, brown sugar and oatmeal with some butter until crumbly. Oh yes, I usually put in a pinch of salt and some cinnamon, too. Then I crumble it over the apples and bake until bubbly. So good when eaten warm with a little ice cream.
You went all out on this great gift :) Love it and I"m sure she will too! Since I'm not a cook (thankfully hubby is a very good one LOL!) my favorite thing to make in the Fall are fall card with maple leaves on them (or other leaves as well). Just looooove the fall colours!
wow you've bin creative Christine.
what a fabulous and beautiful box.
that card is very beautiful too.
I like about Fall are the colours the browns, orange and reds.
they all give a warm feeling.
I'm sorry no recipe and don't cook my husband does that, and yummie he can cook.
greetings karin
What a fantastic hat box!! It's so amazing how you can personalize things like that for a person. I love that. My favourite fall thing to make is Pumpkin Desert. It's pumpkin, eggs, pumpkin pie spice and condensed milk with a white cake mix spread on top. You put the cake mix on dry (not mixed up) and drizzle it with margarine and it makes this great crust on top. Quick and easy but delicious!

Hope your school year is good!

What a fabulous hat project! Love the sunflower accents! With fall, I love anything with pumpkins...pumpkin-shaped cards, cards with pumpkin images, pumpkin pie! :-)
Oh My! This is a gorgeous hat and the card is awesome! You always do such gorgeous work! Fall happens to be my favorite time of the year, so anything with those gorgeous colors...and I'm there! I love making fall themed cards. The only problem is...after I make them, it's hard for me to let them go to someone's house! I usually wait until the next year to send them, so I can enjoy them a little longer. (weird, I know). I also love to make fall decorations to hang on my front door., This year, it will be a new wreath. Love sunflowers, fall leaves and little pine cones! :-)
I love this card - gorgeous colours and I love the hat on it. The bling and ribbon are gorgeous too. What a great hat project - the trailing ribbons are so pretty.
The first thing I thought of when you said favourite Fall item to make was zucchini muffins and chocolate zucchini cake and now I can't stop thinking about them;) yummy. I'll see if I can dig up the recipes. Now I just need to find some zucchini -haha.
Again - thank you for you generousity Christine.
Love your hat and card! In the fall I make lots of Chocolate Zucchini bread. Recipe is: 3 eggs, 2c sugar, 1c cooking oil 1tsp vanilla, 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate(liquid packets) 2c shredded zucchini, 2c flour, 1tsp baking soda, 1tsp salt, 1tsp cinnamon, 1c chopped nuts and 1/2c choc chips. Beat the eggs in a lg bowl, add next 3 ingredients, Stir in choc and zucchini. Mix dry ingredients, add gradually to choc mixture, stir in chips and nuts. Line 2, 5x9 inch pans w/waxed paper, greased and floured, bake 1 hour at 350. Makes 2 reg loaves or 4 small ones. Makes a nice gift with a fall card.
My favorite fall things to make are fall crafts with my kids. They love to collect the beautiful colored leaves and berries around our neighborhood, and it's fun to use them in fun crafts.
Whoa! Beautiful box and card! I've been wondering about getting a Silhouette. My favorite Fall thing to make is Cranberry Pecan Pie! Oh it's yummy and tart!!
That hat is fantastic! Is it heavy enough to tuck a few goodies inside? Fav fall thing to make: Pumpkin bread. Yummy!
what a beautiful box and card your daughters friend is so lucky you are so creative. These stamp sets are all amazing and would love to give them a home- thanks for the chance. Even though it is Spring here I will share an autumn recipe that I love to make when the weather starts to turn and it always reminds me of my childhood with all the family sharing around the table - we actually have this at any time of the year but it's great for those cooler nights before you really need your comfort foods like steamed puddings etc.-It's also a great way to use up leftover bread before it goes mouldy. My mum used to make this all the time and everyone always wanted more - Queen Pudding-Ingredients- 3 or 4 slices bread finely crumbed, 2 eggs, 1 pint milk, 1 dessert spoon sugar, a few drops vanilla, some jam- nothing real sweet- I usually use raspberry or plum, coconut.-Method- grease a pie dish by wiping it out with butter(I actually use a large souffle dish) add breadcrumbs. Separate whites from yolks of eggs and place whites in a bowl to beat later and beat yolks and sugar together, add milk and vanilla. Pour over breadcrumbs and let stand for a few minutes. They say to stand the dish in a bath of water to bake but I never do and it works ok my mum never did either. Bake in a moderate oven around 180 degrees Celsius /350 Fahrenheit for about 20 - 30 minutes(I usually look and see if it looks set on the top).Remove from oven and gently spread with jam and then top with your beaten egg whites- (don't beat these too early or they go flat again I start about 5 minutes before the bread mix is cooked.) Sprinkle this with coconut and return to the oven to brown- watch because they turn brown really quickly sometimes. remove from oven and enjoy add cream if desired.
Love this adorable hat box and the card is so fabulous. My favorite fall thing is to make packaged sugar cookies and then declare a family decorating night. Sometimes we give them to bake sales, sometimes, neighbors, but there is always some to eat and my son just loves this.
I love your adorable hat box...you are so creative! A favorite fall creation is to make Halloween cards each one different for my four grandkids.

Love your hat box, and the sunflowers are so pretty. You are so creative.
For the fall, I love to make candy boxes for my grandchildren for halloween. They enjoy them so much.
Lovely hat box and card Christine,
Guaranteed to be a big hit for the "hat lover". For many years, my favorite fall project was creating Halloween costumes for my two daughters. Now my fall days are consumed by birthday and holiday card-making, lol.
What a gorgeous hat! I love the Flourishes set you used. It has been on my wish list for a long time. I love decorating my porch in the Fall. Lots of pumpkins and fall wreaths. Autumn is my favorite time of the year! -Mary R.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! GORGEOUS CREATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
My FAVORITE thing to make in the fall? That would have to be a PEPPER JELLY RECIPE that was given to me by a lady in a church I worked in after college YEARS AGO! Here it is:
PEPPER JELLY
1/2 c. Jalopeno Peppers (hot)
1 c. Bell or Banana Peppers (sweet)
It's good to have a mix of colors--for eye appeal.
6 c. sugar
1 bottle Certo Fruit Pectin-1 pkt. is one bottle.
1 1/2 c. Cider Vinegar.
Seed peppers. Wear gloves when doing the Jalopeno Peppers. Grind the Peppers & 1/2 c. vinegar with a food processor. Let set overnight.
Add the rest of the vinegar ( 1 c.) & the certo & add everything else--bring to boil & boil 1 minute.
Have your jelly jars & lids ready to go- sterilized.
When jars are filled-- place back in water bath & boil for 15 minutes.(Water should cover the caps about 1 inch.)
Process takes about 35-40 min's.
Makes 11- 1/2 pints.
I LOOOOVE to have this on Triscuit crackers with a dab of cream cheese & a dab of this pepper jelly on top! This is the way I had it for the first time. WOW! Makes a nice little orderve! But, this can also be used on meat. It's SOOOOO GOOOD! :) ENJOY! :)
What a fun hat and card to make for your daughter's friend birthday. You are so creative.
My favorite thing to make each fall are napkin rings, name plates and little embellishments for my Thanksgiving dinner. Now with so many fun dies out on the market, this task is now easier. Thanks for sharing.
