Autumn Spice Notecards

My FAVORITE new Designer Paper in the HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG is definitely the Autum Spice Specialty DSP.. it's very heavy weight and textured and the designs and patterns are gorgeous!!!

 
 
 

I love the texture of this paper!! It's so luxurious!!! 

I've also used the new Always Artichoke Seam Binding (ribbon!?) on this card.. love that too! (item 121000, pg 21 of the Holiday Mini Catalog). Order online HERE 24/7!  Need a Holiday mini?  email me!

New Tasteful Trim Die from Stampin' Up!

Oh, I LOVE this new die for the Big Shot from Stampin' Up!  It's called the TASTEFUL TRIM die and it's on page 17 in the NEW HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG!  (item code 120893).  Order online HERE 24/7!  Need a Holiday mini?  email me!

 

When you cut one 6"x12" piece of cardstock or fabric, look at all the wonderful trim pieces you get!! whohoo! 

As a part of my presentation at our upcoming LUV 2 STAMP GROUP MEETING this coming Saturday, I am showing dozens of ways you can incorporate this die into your crafting projects.

Here is one of the cards I've made with one "rick-rack" part of this die as an accent on the card:

 

{This photo is a little bright.. it's actually Cherry Cobbler}   I used the Love Letter DSP (pg 173, item #117162) and the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder (pg 214, item 117335) to texturize the "rick rack" piece from the Tasteful Trim die.

I colored some of the crocheted Fleurettes (pg 188, #115604) using a plastic cup and some Cherry Cobbler reinker (much like they show on pg 188). 

 
Then added one to my card:

 
I placed a smaller uncolored Fleurette in the center with a Vintage Brad (pg187, #117273).

Stay tuned for many many more samples using this new die!

Oh man... last week we had 2 days of weather OVER 100 DEGREES!!! That is just not normal for the San Francisco Bay Area!!!  YiKES!!!  My poor roses just COOKED!!

I went out and rescued some roses from the heat, brought them in for a bouquet,

 
and then just had to sit back and cry over all the burnt plants...

Oh well... we are back to our lovely weather in the 70's like it is most of the time...  Thank you Lord for the cool!  :)
