A little break from the fall cards and Mini catalogue to bring your a card using Notes and Totes in our Annual Catalogue. The dies make an adorable tote (see this post).
Thanks for stopping by!
You've seen me use this paper pack quite a bit of late...I'm smitten! This is Gathering Together from our Online Exclusives offering. These are product not found in any publication and we release new items every other month! A great way to get season products for in the moment card making and scrapbooking. The layout of this card involves cutting off about 3/4" to 1" of the card base from the front and decorating the inside with a strip of coordinating patterned paper or embossing. Makes for a nice change from the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. Happy Fall, all!
I've always wanted to see the true Northern Lights in all their glory. I went on a trip to Iceland and while we had a tour planned, it was cancelled as the weather wasn't conducive to seeing them. We get glimpses once in a while but I'm too far south to get the full effect. The Lights of Aurora Suite is inspired by this magical phenomenon. Today's card from Genevieve Ko gives me a glimpse at the Northern Lights through the patterned paper. Enjoy!
Seeing signs of autumn yet or are you hanging on to summer days? Our weather has been warm - a bit too warm I'd say for pumpkins and gourds. They may not last through October if we get them yet. We do see the trees changing colours. In our neighbourhood there are certain red ones that are even starting to drop. Our Norway Maple out front is still green. The calendar says it's autumn so get out and enjoy the warmer days ahead until more seasonal weather is upon us!
This is a cool way to use a little paper and have it go a really long way! The patterned paper is a usual 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" piece. I cut it twice using the Branching Out dies that nest together. Same with a piece of cardstock that measure 4" x 5 1/4". Then layered them all up. The tricky part is keeping your patterned paper pieces in the same orientation so that when you glue them down the pattern flows. Very cool eh?
