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}

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. (Yayyyyy, internet is back!!! That was a crazy outage!)

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.
