A COPPER PUMPKIN

I so love fall!  And I just think that this pumpkin/apple punch is sooo neat!!!! 

This card is gorgeous in person!  This new Celestial Copper Metallic ink just shines & is beautiful!!  

This card was one of the fun fold cards that everyone made at my September monthly classes.  

There are 3 new Metallic ink pads.  Check them out on page 16 in the Holiday Catalog. All 3 of them are beautifult!!  They dry fast & are so pretty!!!

• Golden Glitz
• Silvery Shimmer

This is what it looks like opened up!  It is a dutch door fold card.

 I did the direct to paper technique on the top of the card.  I embossed the Cajun Craze card stock, using my Hammered Metal Embossing Folder (pg. 31 in the Holiday Catalog).  I then laid the card stock down on my paper, turned the Copper Metallic Ink pad upside down & lightly pressed it onto the embossed image- so that some of the ink would transfer onto it.  It looks cool!

So let me know what you think!

Yesterday was a great day of stamping!!  We all had a fun time together- stamping & visiting, while creating.  Deb & Janiece were great hostesses!  They had yummy snacks & were great helpers!  And I have to give a shout out to Ruth!  She is my right hand for our Hiawatha group & I couldn't do it all without her!!  She is a true blessing forsure!

After my 2 classes I hurried home last night.  One of our friends mom had passed & we didn't want to miss her visitation.  We picked up a Casey's pizza for our supper on our way home.  And I went to bed early.  I haven't had much sleep the past week & I was just beat!  

This is gonna be another busy week!  Some friends & I are getting together this coming weekend to camp & stamp!  Some of them I don't see very often- so I'm looking forward to getting to visit & create with them! 

Deke is up early this morning to chore & head to the courthouse for his weekly board meeting.  I'm up early to get my car unloaded & head to Manda's.  I'll take the 3 Seeley boys to school & then spend my day with Masen & Ainslee.  It is suppose to be hot all week again....so I assume school will get out early & the 3 Seeley boys will be here all afternoon.

Tonight I'll be canning tomatoes.  Bless my friend, Susan.  She brought me 2 boxes of tomatoes when she was here to stamp with me on Saturday!!  So I will be doing them tonight!  It will be great to have them to make Salsa & Goulash with this winter!  I canned a bunch of tomatoes last year & they are all completely gone.  

Gotta run.......

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs-
