Wonderfall

I love fall and I love leaves.  Fall colors are so warm and rich.  So, when Stampin' Up! came out with the new Wonderfall bundle with the stampset and the matching dies, I couldn't wait to get it and try it out.  This is the first project I made with it.  MMMM, love the added sparkle from the new Champagne Shimmer paper! Button was from my "stash".  Hope you enjoy!


Inside:  Verse was printed on the computer.


Supplies use:

PAPER:  Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Champagne Shimmer
STAMPS - Wonderfall and Teeny Tiny Wishes
INK: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, More Mustard

The technique is called "Plaid".  Instructions for that are:  Ink your stamp (in this case the leaf) in the lightest color (in the case, pumpkin pie).  Then, using the next darkest color (in the case Cajun Craze) just use the very edge of your in pad, angling so just the narrow knife edge touches the stamp and tap over the stamp numerous times in one direction, then again on the diagonal.  Then use the next darkest color (in the case Cherry Cobbler) and repeat the steps in two other directions.  The next step is to just touch lightly on the very edge of your stamp with the Soft Suede.  Final step is to sponge around the edge with the More Mustard.


The Espresso paper was embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder
I just used 1/2 of the smaller leaf to tuck in for a bit of shimmer between the maple leaves.

That's it for today!  Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

    Congrats on your new blog Sharon! It looks like you're off to an amazing start. I love this card. The wood texture just sets off those beautiful leaves and the touch of glimmer paper really adds a sparkle. I'm now your newest follower.

Welcome to my new blog

I have been putting this off for a long time, but have decided that now is the time for me to enter the blogging world.  I have the blog feature on my Stampin' Up! website, but it seems limited compared to what I see on other's blogs.  I hope to update this one more often now that I have a bit more time on my hands.  I quit working my full time "day job" the end of May.  I wanted to be able to spend more time with my family and devote more time to my Stampin' Up! business without working late into the nights as I have been. Please hang with me while I try to learn all that is necessary to make this blog interesting and informative for you, my readers. I'll begin by posting a photo (still need a photo box) of the cards that were made at my last class here at the house.  The pink one was partially CASE'd from an Australian Blogger, Teneale Williams.  I really love her work.  The bird card was a CASE from a swap I received at convention in July....

I'm all registered for convention and have the room we wanted at the Marriott!  Now the suspense builds until next week when I get to see the new catalog.  Oh man.............do I wish I were going to the regional in SLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  OH WELL, I guess I can wait a few more days..... !! I will be in South Dakota visiting with my mom (who has no internet) on the day that the catalog goes on the website....HOWEVER, I'll be driving out to my brothers to have a look and place that first order!!!!!!  Yes, I know, no willpower at all!  ;) We have a great group of Mile High Stampers going to convention this year.  It is going to be SO fun and exciting to see what they have in store for us to celebrate their 25th anniversary year! So, for now, here is a photo of a project that Rochelle and I have done for our latest Gift and Gab class.  We did this last month at my house and we will be doing it again on Saturday at her home.  There are still ope...
