Wonderfall Cafe

I was very sad last year when Stampin' Up! announced they were retiring the Leaves Die from their collection.  I used it a lot last year and I felt like they didn't have a good replacement for it....UNTIL NOW! I just had to wait until the Holiday Catalog to see it.  I actually like the Autumn Accents Die better than the other one because the leaves look more natual on this one.  Plus, who doesn't love a die that has a matching stamp set? 

 

Wonderfall is a great fall stamp set and can be used for lots of things.  Here is the trick to getting them to work together.  Use the die and cut your cardstock FIRST.  Then, ink up your stamp and lay the leaf over the top of the inked up stamp and gently push down.  Lift up the paper from the stamp and voila! A perfectly stamped and die cut leaf. 

I added my leaves with some Comort Cafe DSP.  They aren't traditional fall colors for the most part, but I really like them.

You can order any of the products you see on this sample on my website or give me a call and I can place an order for you.  Don't forget that this month if you order the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set along with Candlelight Christmas DSP you get a Festive Piercing Pack for free!  Check out the details on my website or in the post I did about it earlier.

Happy Stamping!

Chevron Blossoms

I made this card a while ago and I just love it.  I have yet to send it out because I just can't bear to part with it yet.  Its just one of those cards that makes you smile.  :)  I know, I should pass on that great feeling to someone else. 

 

It is quick and simple.  The colors are bright and fun and although it is fall right now...I still like the bright colors.  I did make the card while it was sunny and warm, so give me a break. 

It is simply Whisper White cardstock for the base, Daffodil Delight with the Chevron Embossing Folder, and the Polka Dot Parade DSP in Real Red with the Blossom Punch.  Tie some of the Gumball Gree stitched ribbon around and voila!  A perfect card.  The sentiment is from teeny tiny wishes and can be substituted for anything you like. 

Happy Stamping!

Stamp to the Max October Blog Hop

Hey there!  Welcome to this month's blog hop.  You might have come by my blog from Max's blog, maybe not and that's okay with me.  Welcome to my little space of the internet.  This month the theme was for Thank You cards and Thanksgiving related items.  I have been hard at work on some other projects, but I do have a quick card to show you today. 

The stamp set that I used is called Wonderfall.  It is the ultimate fall set, because lets face it....Fall is WONDERFUL!!  It is by far my favorite time of the year.  Here in Cache Valley Utah we have the most beautiful leaves in all the canyons around us.  I can't wait for the leaves on our tree lined street in the city to change as well.  There is just something about driving down a street with brightly colored leaves all over it.

Don't you just love the colors used in this card?  The DSP is from the Orchard Harvest DSP and is the perfect accent to the leaves in the stamp set.  All the supplies used here today can be purchased on my website or directly from me.  Check out the promotions page on my website for an all new promo in October for some great freebies.  :)

Now go and hop on over to Lisa's little space on the net and enjoy some more samples.
