We Create Blog Hop - Gratitude & Gatherings

Welcome to the NOVEMBER 2024 "Gratitude & Gatherings" Blog Hop! We generally hop on the first day of every month, and this month our theme will focus on anything to do with Gratitude and/or Gatherings. My project features the Sweet Days of Autumn 12"x12" Designer Series Paper from the September 2024 Scrapbooking Brochure. {scroll down below the Blog Roll for ALL product purchase links}

I have a habit of using Designer Series Paper in sizes that I can evenly cut from a whole sheet. In this case, I wanted sizes I could cut from 12"x12", so the strip on the side is 1-1/2" wide, and that piece on the bottom with the grid pattern is 3"x4". All the die cuts come from the Changing Leaves coordinating die set, including that stitched, rounded label. I purposefully chose only one color for my stamping, using the Cajun Craze Ink Pad, not only to stamp the leaf on the Cajun Craze Cardstock in the background, but also to stamp the greeting on the Crumb Cake Cardstock die cut label.

I stamped, die cut, and embossed the maple leaf that is decorating the greeting label. The Changing Leaves die set is bundled with a Hybrid Embossing Folder, and you can cut out some of the leaves while you are embossing. It's a really cool effect if you can stamp the image first, then line it up with the die in the Hybrid Embossing Folder. I finished the greeting label by tying a double bow with the Natural Tones Linen Thread (sadly not available at the moment - Murphy's Law), using the Copper Clay color. And I added a few of the copper colored Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins to add some sparkle.

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Thinking of and Thanking You

Welcome to the November 2024 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices mentioned are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Thinking of and Thanking You! My projects once again feature the Sweet Days of Autumn 12"x12" Designer Series paper from the September 2024 Scrapbooking Brochure...but this time I've paired it with the More than Autumn BUNDLE!

{you can find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}

My internet has been out since yesterday at about 3pm, and my phone signal is pretty rotten at my house, so my post will just have the bare navigation for a while until I can get the pictures to upload from my phone. (Whew...finally back online, that was like a 48 hour outage! I just switched to fiber recently, and I never would have expected such a long outage, but apparently a piece of their equipment went down.)

Just like in my other POST from today, I used strips of patterned paper that cut out evenly from a 12"x12" sheet - the one on the side is 1-1/2" wide, and the one in the background is 3"x4". The More than Autumn BUNDLE is so cute, I can't believe I haven't used it until now. Granted, it hasn't really seemed like Autumn here in Colorado until very recently. The leaves were changing, but it was still really hot. We just weren't getting that crisp, cool weather that I love so much this time of year. So, it seems like we had both a long, and short, Autumn.

The More than Autumn BUNDLE is actually not just for Autumn...there are a few images in there that will also work for Winter, like a little candy cane, and the words 'peppermint', 'eggnog', and 'hot cocoa'. There's even a little pile of mini marshmallows to go on top of the cup, and a tiny little gingerbread man.

In the background of the card, I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder on a piece of Old Olive Cardstock. I stamped the images on Basic White Cardstock with the Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, and also stamped the greeting with the same ink, onto Crumb Cake Cardstock. I colored the images using just two colors of Stampin' Blends alcohol markers: Crumb Cake, and Pumpkin Pie. And I added a bow with the copper clay color from the Natural Tones Linen Thread, and then added sparkle with a few gold colored Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins.

Stampin' Supplies: More than Autumn BUNDLE, Crumb Cake Cardstock, Old Olive Cardstock, Crushed Curry Cardstock (one of the little leaves), Basic White Cardstock, Sweet Days of Autumn 12"x12" Designer Series Paper, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Stampin' Blends (Crumb Cake Combo Pack, and Pumpkin Pie Combo Pack), Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins, Natural Tones Linen Thread, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer, Simply Shammy (for cleaning photopolymer stamps), and Grid Paper. Don't forget your Basic White Medium Envelopes if you want to mail your card. *You will need a FULL SIZE die-cutting machine, like the Stampin' Cut & Emboss, to use the embossing folder, as it is quite large.
