Hello, Autumn!

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!

Hi Stampers!!

The weather has been unseasonably cool here in New Jersey and that inspired me to create this Autumn themed card. I was also inspired by the sketch posted this week on Splitcoaststampers for their weekly card sketch challenge.

I used my Stamp-a-majig to line up the leaf images in order to create the shadowed effect.

Stampin' Supplies:

Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Starfruit,Very Vanilla

Designer Series Paper: Sweater Weather

Stamps: Magnificent Maple

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Summer Starfruit

Other: Crumb Cake 1/2" Seam Binding, Basic Pearls, Stampamajig, Dimensionals
