Lovely in the Fall!

Last week's Ways to Use It challenge called for using a tree or trees on a creation.

What a perfect time to bring out my long-adored Lovely as a Tree stamp set to play!  Not only is Lovely as a Tree the longest-running current stamp set by Stampin' Up!, but my set is one of those original wood-mount sets purchased "back in the day" when it was pretty much brand new in our catalog ... or Idea Book + Catalog, a.k.a IDB+C back then.  Some things should be kept ... just sayin'!


It's been a while since I've heat embossed, but it seems that I always come back to that technique in the latter part of the year.  

After white embossing the image, I colored the image with Blendabilities.  I really do like the way this looks IRL (in real life), as the colors are stunning to the eye.  After all coloring was dried, I toyed with the design itself.  My stampin' table has been constantly filled with holiday prep + planning recently ... and amongst the many items at hand was the new set of Wonderful Wreath Framelits.  That's how the "leafy" edge came to be for the tree image layer. 

Texture was added with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions folder and very subtle tone-on-tone stamping of the large oak leaf from the new For All Things set ... an absolutely beautiful seasonal stamp set for Fall, found in the Holiday Catalog.

Let the Circle Card Framelit Play!

It's always a stamper's delight to get out a new-to-your-stampin'-table product and let it play! 

Well, in the case of the Circle Card Framelit, it is just as easy as can be!


I adore the new "Color Me Autumn" designer series paper.  This particular pattern includes Cajun Craze and Soft Suede colors, so choosing my inks & cardstocks was basically done for me! 


The Circle Card Framelit includes the scallop circle, the xoxo, and several more great dies for accent pieces ... definitely offering lots of creative possibilities.  And, making a card with 'movement' is so easy & quick!


Tex's Tip:  Due to the size of the Circle Card Framelit, you'll notice that when rolling it through your Big Shot, it will seem to require a little bit "extra" when the leading edge and the last edge roll through the machine.  It's completely normal, and simply due to the physics of the metal edges going through as such a long straight edge, rather than being turned to allow a smaller edge ease through the rollers first.

Make It! Paper Pumpkins!

Today I'm sharing one of the cutest ideas from Stampin' Up!  'Tis the season to be in the mood for Fall home decor for sure.  Pumpkins, Fall leaves, ghosties, & the fabulous colors of Fall are seen in nearly every store I visit.  If you're in a crafty mood after being visually inspired with the seasonal color, how about trying these table decorations?  One of SU's Sr. Staff Writers, Cindy B., shares her fun paper pumpkins with us today!   Thanks a bunch (or thanks a "patch"?), Cindy!

Paper Pumpkins!


This fun project is a snap to make using the Big Shot, the Circles Collection Framelits Die, and our new Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.
Cut approximately twelve circles and make a paper pom pom (http://www.stampinup.com/home/en-US/blog-post/corporate-blog/2013/04/16/tricky-tip-tuesday-pretty-pom-poms)—but before you start gluing the circles together, cut the bottoms off to allow the paper pumpkin to stand upright.

Cut a rectangular piece of scrap Kraft Cardstock to create a stem and add a tag made using the Ghoulish Greetings Stamp Set.
That’s it! Make a bunch of these to decorate your house for Halloween—or give them away as gifts!


Hope you'll enjoy using this idea for your own seasonal crafting & decor!  Thanks for stopping by!
