Seasonal Cheer and Simply Leaves are a great combo!

How versatile is the Simply Leaves stamp set and punch bundle? Just lovin' using it on my seasonal cards at this time of the year. It matches well with the leaves on the embossing folder from the Seasonal Cheer Mini folders trio set which is a 3" x 6" folder. I've punched out the leaf with some patterned paper this time and on the other two, I used the vein stamps that come with the stamp set to add a little something to them. Easy peasy sweet card for any occasion. Enjoy!

Lovely Eyelet Corners

When I get a set of dies which I’ll use without their corresponding stamp set – like the Beautifully Celebrated ones, I put them up on a magnetic board so I see them and ultimately USE them! I forgot that this set of dies has these amazing eyelet corners. The die cuts two corners at a time. Looks great as a frame for this beautiful card, right? A very pretty way to dress up a project. Tip: before die cutting, add some adhesive sheet to your cardstock then die cut it out. Makes adhering it so much easier. Enjoy!

Non-traditional Simply Leaves for fall

All fall leaf cards don't need to be red, green, yellow, rust in colour! Today's card features the Simply Leaves Stamp Set and this soft colour palette of Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Smoky Slate. There are 2 sizes of leaves in the stamp image options. The larger one - used in the centre of my card - coordinates with the Simple Leaf Punch if you're so inclined. I like the "simple" and elegant look of stamping it on white cardstock followed by cutting it into 4 equal pieces then layering on black. Really helps make it pop. Enjoy!

Inlaid embossing technique with the Rustic 3D folder

Today's card is my take on the inlaid embossing technique. To achieve this look, either do it the simple way or the simpler way! I chose the simpler way by embossing a piece of pretty designer series paper with a "tight" folder. By that I mean an embossing folder with texture all around and no large open spaces. This gives the patterned paper a flexible and almost fabric look and feel. Opted for the Rustic 3D folder with the Painted Patch paper. Enjoy!

Frightfully Fun White Gable Boxes

Been having a blast participating in the Global Inspiration Stamp Team's Twelve Days of the Holidays (September 1 to 12). Almost halfway through with a different presenter each day. For this weekend, we are each decorating the White Gable Boxes for our chosen holiday. And, I had to choose Halloween with the Frightfully Fun Suite Collection for some spooky cool fun.
