Fall Banner

I used the Top Note Big Shot die to cut out the bases for the fall banner. Then I used the Stripes embossing folder to add some dimension. I inked the edges with Soft Suede ink using a sponge dauber. The circle uses Sweater Weather Designer series paper and is matted with Pumpkin Pie card stock.

I cut the letters with a Cricut (Storybook set at 2").

The pumpkins were created with an oval punch and a circle punch. I used the Magnificent maple stamp inked with Pear Pizazz and Crushed Curry inks. The owl was created with Stampin' Up!s owl builder punch.

The twine was left over from Stampin' Up's! Christmas banner kit, but you can purchase twine from any craft store or garden store.

I would love to be your demonstrator!
Thank you for your continued patronage.

Have a lovely day,

Magnificent Maple Thanksgiving Card

Hello,
My share for today is a card that I made using the color theme that Mary Fish used on her entry for this week's Mojo Monday sketch. It looked interesting so I thought I would try it with the new Stampin' Up! stamp, Magnificent Maple.

I used the Mojo Monday sketch from July 2012.

I really like how this Magnificent Maple leaf stamp looks when I ink it up with the main color (pumpkin pie) and then sponge the edges (soft suede). It makes a beautiful leaf.

Magnificent Maple Thanksgiving Card

Hello Crafters,
I have been away, having FUN! A little different fun than playing with Stampin' Up! stamps and supplies, but just as fun.
I have been playing with my grandson. Something I can't do every day because he lives 1600 miles away from me. Yes, I know, it could be worse!

Wouldn't you rather play with him than stamps?

Okay, it is back to stamping because I am back home now.

Have you seen the new Stampin' Up! catalog?

What is your favorite new item in the holiday catalog? Leave me a message. I would love to know.

Here is a card I made with the Magnificent Maple stamp and the Tags 4 U stamp set. I also used the matching label punch.

This is a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" card (finished size).
I used Cajun Craze card stock for the base; Pumpkin Pie Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper; Very Vanilla card stock; Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin' Ink; Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' ink; and a soft suede marker for the leaf stem/veins.

Check out my store if you need any supplies, I would love to be your demonstrator if you are looking for one!
