Gently Falling - Sketch Challenge

Good evening!  It's amazing how the weather has changed and fall is definately in the air.  Because of our beautiful weather as soon as I saw the sketch for this weeks Stamping 411 challenge I knew I had to use the Gently Falling stamp set for the Holiday mini catalog.  This has definately been one of my go to sets lately.

This card has a base of Pool Party Cardstock with a layer of Pear Pizzaz that I ran through the Big Shot with the Houndstooth Embossing Folder.  The designer paper is Spice Cake and coordinates with the Gently Falling stamp set.  I stamped the leaves and acorn on Very Vanilla cardstock and since these are two step stamps I didn't need to color them in I just stamped the color with the fill in stamp (I did use a blender pen and More Mustard ink to randomly add some additional texture on the leaves for fun).  Then I cut out each of the leaves with paper snips.

The bow uses the fabulous new Early Espresso 3/8" Quilted Satin Ribbon (love the texture) and an orange Fire Crystal brad.  The last touch was the greating from the Grateful Greeting stamp set that was punched out with the oval punch and then attached to the card with dimensionals.  Now check out the challenge sketch....

This card is so pretty and is definately getting me in the mood for fall.  I'll be sharing several other projects with the same product suite throughout the week so make sure to check back.

Have a great week!

Halloween Greetings in Peach Parfait

I'm totally in love with the new Holiday Mini catalog.  As many people know, one of my favorite tools is the textured embossing folders for the Big Shot and this new Spider Web Embossing folder is the "the bomb."  After running the Black cardstock through the Big shot I spritzed the paper with the Silver Smooch Spritz to add a little dazzle.  I wrapped a piece of Peach Parfait 1/2" stiched ribbon and tide a knot.  The greeting is from the Grateful Greetings stamp set and is punched out with the 1 1/4" square punch and then mounted on a piece of Peach Parfait cardstock punched with the scallop square punch

A great simple card and this picture doesn't do it justice.  You will definately find many uses for these new items.

Enjoy!
