Stampin' Up! Gilded Autumn Suite

 Isn't this a cool fall card!

I love the way it turned out.

It is so pretty in person. 

Check this out......

as most of the products for this card came from the

Gilded Autumn Suite on pages 44-46 in the Holiday Catalog.

 

I LOVE the Gold Hoop!

I think the Gold accents just totally add to this card & make it pop!

And I love that this Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP coordinates with  

Autumn Punch Pack (acorn, maple leaf & oak leaf).

As I didn't stamp the leaves & acorn- I just punched them out the DSP!

 I can honestly say that Mint Macaron is not one of the normal colors 

that I would ever think of using for fall!  

But I chose these colors, as they coordinated with the 

Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP color pallet.

And I think it all turned out great!

stamp set:  'Beautiful Autumn' (words); 'Waterfront' (splatters)

• Very Vanilla- 2 3/4 x 4"- stamp splatters to the top left & bottom right corners of this.  This is the piece that the Gold Hoop/word circle will be adhered to.

Stampin' Up! In The PInes Bundle

 I made a cute window card for my Holiday Extravaganza classes last weekend!

 

Check it out!!

I used the 'In the Pines' Bundle!

 

How did I make the window?

I used the Best Plaid Builder Die for the inside of the window.

 

I then cut 2 strips that are 1/2 x 3" (x2) & used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool

to make the 2 lines in the top & bottom window frames. 

 I made this into a fun z fold card, which is my favorite fold!

 

I think that the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder was 

the perfect accent for my card front.

 I love this 'In The Pines' Bundle!

These trees are all 2 step stamping!

You just have to stamp them.

which means that they have light & dark shading in them.
