Well I told you that once the new catalog came out that I would have some inspiration to the max for you – I also told you that I was making a bunch of square cards and today I have a special one for you (well I think that it is special)

I think that this bundle, the Wonderous Wreath is going to a HUGE HIT…just think about it – you can change the colors out to make it work for all 4 season!

Today I am showing you a “Fall” themed card. Hands down, Fall is my very favorite time of the year and I am hoping that we will have a great Fall filled with crisp and cool evenings…the beautiful colors of the leaves…soft and chewy ginger cookies and hot apple cider….I just love Fall!

Ok – I will hop off memory lane…it’s a great lane but I know that you are wanting to hear about the scoop of today’s card!

  • The base is a 4 ½” square card in Very Vanilla and then the accent colors I used were Tangerine Tango and my go-to neutral, soft suede!
  • Let’s get back to this great stamp set/bundle. It is a photopolymer which makes it SUPER EASY to stamp as you can see right through the image! The colors I used were Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango and Soft Suede.

  • The wreath was a cinch to pop out with the matching framelits but below in the photos you can see how I also used other framelits (or you could use other circlualr framelits or a punch)

TIP ALERT:  I cut through both the Soft Suede and the Tangerine Tango to maximize the effect of a wreath – it was super easy and I think that the end result shows it!

  • You can see that the Soft Suede piece, I cut out the center and then I ran it through the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder, (I am sorry, I know I use this a bunch but I simply cannot get enough of it!)

  • Lifting up the layered piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals did the trick, those little gems never let us down.
  • The sentiment came from the For All Things Stamp Set! I snipped it into a banner with my paper snips…quick – DONE!
  • Let’s talk about the super simple yet effective of the “bow” – we all know that I am bow challenged but this worked…”just fine” for me! I used the Baked Brown Sugar Bakers Twine and then also used a piece of the gold bakers twine and I “pulled” out the gold part…BAM – LOVE IT! I used a simple mini glue dot to hold it into place!

  • Envelope time…since I needed to make my own envelope, I decided to go different, soft suede and I will use a white pen to address it! HOW FUN! The back flap I used a scrap of embossed very vanilla but look at the front!
  • A simple scrap that is 1” wide and with the help of the Stamp-a-ma-jig…let the fun begin!

I know that this stamp set/bundle is going to be a “Out of the Ballpark item” and I am excited to share with you in the future more samples! I hope that this post made you excited for Fall and also the possibilities of this stamp set.

I am sure that you have been having FUN going through this new catalog…so much to take in, I must admit that I still go through it and still see more!
