Sarah's Stamp Lab: acorny thank you

Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing with you one of the swaps I made for On Stage Local. I made a clean and simple card front using the Acorny Thank You stamp set paired with the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used the "Dropping In to Say Hi" sentiment because, even though I have acorns on the front, I didn't want the card to be overly Autumnal in theme.

To add some interest to the acorns, I did some heat embossing. The new Copper Stampin' Emboss powder is one of my favorite things. I use it all of the time. It's such a refreshing new metallic shade to use. The coordinating punch lets you cut out the acorns super fast and easy. No fussy cutting and no need to lug out the Big Shot!

There are some amazing deals! Go check out what's on sale this month with Stampin' Up!

It's officially Autumn! There is just something about this season that warms my heart. I love snuggly sweaters, riding boots, and the warm, earthy colors of the season. Those elements of fall style that I love transfer over into my card making. I am in love with the new Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper. The warm rich colors of Rich Razzleberry and Delightful Dijon play off of the cooler tones in the Mint Macaron papers. It's just so, so gorgeous - you have to see it for yourself.

One of my favorite items from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog is the Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. It adds a subtle bit of metallic that gives your cards just that little something special that will make the recipient be really, really impressed. (Only you and I will know how easy heat embossing is.)

The Acorny Thank You stamp set coordinates with the Acorn Builder punch for easy stamping. No fussy cutting for us! Well, I lied. I did fussy cut the Thankful banner. That's an easy one for fussy cutting though! I layered all of the elements on top of each other with dimensionals to really give a more three dimensional look to the card.

Thanks for looking at my card today! I would love to hear your feedback in the comments section. Please contact me if you have any questions about how to make this card!
