Grateful

Helllo!  The temperatures here are decidedly cooler, and I'm loving it!  I'm getting that autumn itch.  I have 2 cards today.

First, I decided to pull out a turnabout stamp.  It's not particularly for the fall, but done in autumn colors, it works just fine.

supplies: white and Orange Peel cardstock, woodplank dp from SN@P Wood & Notebook Basics pad, Concord & 9th Lovely Blossoms, turnabout jig, Chamomile, Marigold, Firebrick, and Espresso mini ink cubes, (retired) Neat & Tangled Maple Thanks Leaf die, MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle die, Taylored Expressions Grateful script die, adhesive foam squares

I stamped my turnabout panel using 4 fall ink colors and trimmed it with some wonky stitches.  Then I cut out the maple leaf, and added a sentiment across the opening.  Then I lifted the panel above a wood plank printed paper.

Here's another version of this design, much simpler this time.

supplies: cream cardstock and a Doodlebug plank patterned paper, Simon Autumn Blessings die, (retired) Neat & Tangled Maple die, Spellbinders Floral embossing folder, adhesive foam squares

This card is A2 width, but a little shorter in length, almost more of a square.  I centered the leaf die on a scrap of cream cardstock, cut it out, then embossed it before lifting it above the plank background.

It's too bad that this maple leaf die is discontinued, but Simon has one a bit larger that would work just as well, I think, and it has the added benefit of stitching outside the shape.  Also, although it's currently sold out, this Thankful Leaves outline die would be nice, too.  It all depends on how big your sentiment is......

Thanks for coming by
