From My Heart

  My love of the Leaf Fall embossing folder continues, and I used the two leaf images from Season of Chic as the focal point of the card. To get exact placement of the leaves and fill in portion I used the Stamparatus and the "hinge step" method for placement on the card stock.  Happy Stamping Cindy Product List Very Vanilla 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 101650 ] Leaf Fall 3 D Embossing Folder [ 159847 ] Season Of Chic Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [ 158810 ] Ringed With Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [ 159883 ] Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pad [ 147090 ] Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' Pad [ 147085 ] Crushed Curry Classic Stampin' Pad [ 147087 ] Copper Foil Sheets [ 142020 ] Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots [ 156506 ] Multipurpose Liquid Glue [ 110755 ] Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine [ 149653 ] ...

  I have used this embellishment kit on several projects this fall. Today I used the Blending Brushes to add a little color to the tips of the leaf, it helps it stand out a little.  Keep on Stamping!

I want to share a card we made on Saturday; I kept a fall theme for the most part but did include a Holiday card. Card One featured the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper that is a host reward from the July-December Mini Catalog, I also used the detailed die cut from Autumn Bouquet as a color layer. The stick wreath from Cottage Wreaths was stamped in Soft Suede on Basic White Card Stock. We then made an ink pad from a baby wipe using Garden Green, Real Red and Crushed Curry, we then stamped the leave image on the wreath and fussy cut the wreath. I used a sentiment from Perched in a Tree and stamped it in Soft Suede on a Stitched Rectangle. The layers of the card are attached to each other, and the wreath and sentiment have dimensionals to pop it up. Here is the baby wipe "ink pad" with the oldest bottle of ink refill from my stash.
