*Adhere the 3 ovals together to form the pumpkin!
*Make sure that the stemmed piece is in the center & adhere the other 2 ovals BEHIND this center piece.

More Than Autumn Sneak Peek fun fold

Awhh........this is a totally Susie card.
As those of you that know me- know that I like hot drinks-
coffee, tea, chai tea, hot chocolate, etc.

The Holiday Catalog begins this week on 9/4/24!
I can't wait!
Today's card is a SNEAK PEEK of a couple of cool new products.
#164076- More Than Autumn Bundle= $47.50- pg. 49 Holiday Catalog

AND the
#163421- To Market DSP= $12.50- pg. 39 Annual Catalog
 
 Notice that I added 3 little embellishments along the edge of the flap.
Notice how the top of the card flips up like this.
And the bottom of the card flips downward like this.
Here are the different pieces I stamped & die cut to make the cup of latte.
I used the Multipurpose Glue to attach the whipped top 
to the cup.
I used a glue dot to attach the cinnamon stick.
Then notice how I used Tear & Tape to secure the pieces together 
(without peeling off the backing).
How did I do it?
I saved the DSP 1/2 circle that I punched out.
I stamped the cup onto it, along with the word- "Spice".
I then fussy cut it out with Paper Snip Scissors
and adhered it to the cup with 2 dimensionals.
The latte cup is attached to the lower edge of the top flap of the card.
AND
The little pumpkin is popped up with a dimensional & serves as
a 'latch' to keep the top flap down.
