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!

Halloween Hello Stamp Set [131718 (w) $18.95, 131721 (c) $14.95]: If you know me, you know how much I love Halloween.  Remember how gaga I was last year with the gogglier????  This year Stampin' Up! has even more Halloween goodness.  The Halloween Hello stamp set has a bunch of really cute little Halloween images - perfect for cards and to make little tags for favors.

6.  Color Me Christmas Stamp Set [131742 (w) $20.95, 131745 (c) $15.95]: Um, have you seen that reindeer wearing a sweater and scarf??? I don't think I need to say any more.

5. Witches' Brew Designer Washi Tape [132156 $4.95]: Have you tried washi tape yet?  I'm new to it too, but let me tell you - once you start using it, you won't want to stop.  It's so easy to embellish all of your paper crafting projects.  How easy is applying a piece of tape to paper?  Simple, right?  That's how easy it is to use washi.  Plus it's for Halloween! Spooooooky!

4. A Banner Christmas [130252 (w) $21.95, 130255 (c) $16.95]: This is a really, really cool Christmas set.  It has a very modern, stylish look to it.  Banners and chevrons are so hot right now, your cards will be super chic.  My favorite stamp?  HO3 just because it reminds me of scientific shorthand!

3. Silver 1/8" Ribbon [132137 $4.95]: Super shiny silver ribbon that adds sparkle to your cards without the mess of glitter. 


2. Winter Frost Specialty [132341 $12.95]: All of your favorite shades of aqua (Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Island Indigo) paired with cool Smoky Slate and silver foil make this paper wonderful for Christmas, Hanukah, and winter projects.
1. Festive Flurry Bundle [133284 (w) $54.95, 133285 (c) $46.95]: My favorite stamp set out of the whole holiday catalog.  Who doesn't love snowflakes.  They have a fun, geometric design to them which makes them really bold.  Cutting them out is a snap with the coordinating framelits.  You can purchase them in a bundle for a 15% discount.
