Fall Banner courtesy of the Everyday Arches Dies

This week we resumed the Elmira Community Living club with our monthly project. We made this adorable banner that stands up on a table or shelf. It features the Everyday Arches dies, Party Alphabet dies and the new Lustruous Leaves Hot Foil Dies. There's not hot foiling on this project but the set of dies has 5 different leaves and 3 of each one which made die cutting 120 leaves out for the participants a breeze! I will be using those dies forever. Hope you like this different take on a card inspired by Maureen Rauchfuss' presentation at our September Twelve Days of the Holidays Global Inspiration Stamp Team event. They LOVED putting this together!

Radiant Sunflowers pop up fun fold

Last weekend we held our SSS Super Team Event where about a dozen Canadian Demonstrators came together virtually to put on a day of presentations for our team members. We each make a card and demonstrate how to make it from start to finish over a private Facebook group. Look forward to these every new catalogue launch as do the 260+ members in the group! This was my card featuring a fun fold pop up when opened. I've loved the community we've built over the 15+ events we've held since Septmber 2020. Enjoy!

Welcoming new baby cards

Our family circle is just bursting with new arrivals! I posted earlier in the week that our family welcomed twins, and between August and December, several of my friends and family members are becoming grandparents along with a friend of my daughter's welcoming their second. So out came my crochet needles and multiple trips to the store to pick up yarn in varying colours. By end October, I'll have made 7 baby blankets and included a variation of this card with them. So excited to share in everyone's joy. Welcome to the world little ones!

Twist: Use the de-bossed side of the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folder

Today's card features the debossed side of the Seasonal Cheer mini embossing folder with leaves. Looks just a wee bit different, eh? It was by design - not an oversight and I kind of like how different it looks. I added a couple of hand cut out leaves as my focal point. I absolutely love creating for fall and using earthy autumn colours like Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie and Golden Glow. Warms my heart!

Surprise: We welcomed twins into the family!

A joyous occasion for our family: My daughter and her husband welcomed twins! How wonderful it was a boy and a girl. No one in the family knew it was going to be twins so a great surprise to be meeting my newest grandbaby at the hospital on September 6th only to find out there were two babies. These are the cards I made using my favourite - and long retired - All for Baby stamp set and die bundle. The colours are a match to the baby blankets I crocheted for them. Feeling blessed indeed!
