Here’s another creation I made from the pile of fall leaves I cut out last week using the Elegant Leaves Dies!
I traced a circle in the center of my card front and then used the Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder to give it texture.
Next, I arranged the leaves (which had also been sponged with coordinating ink) into a wreath using the circle I had traced for shape reference.
I didn’t need much else … I stamped and fussy cut the sentiment, then added a little doubled bow using some Linen Thread.
Stamps: You Are Loved Paper: Basic Beige, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Darling Duckling, Golden Glow, Pumpkin Pie, Timid Tiger, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze Ink: Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Darling Duckling, Golden Glow, Pumpkin Pie, Timid Tiger, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze Accessories: Elegant Leaves Dies, Perennial Postage Dies, Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder, Linen Thread I’ve used up most of my spare leaves … they were so much fun to create with!

Aren’t these little birdies the sweetest?? They are from the soon-to-be-released Cheerful Hello!
I made a gatefold card … using a 11” x 5.5” piece of cardstock, I scored it at 3” and 8.5”, then folded the flaps toward the front. Easy peasy!
I did add a little Balmy Blue and Smoky Slate to the birdies to make them a little more colorful … they’re so cute!

It’s Monday … and NOVEMBER … and it’s time for another hop with the Monday Montage Crew!
As I have been watching The Gilmore Girls for the first time (how on EARTH did I miss this back in the day??), I decided to start an episode as I was cutting out a BUNCH of leaves from the Elegant Leaves Dies. And I mean A BUNCH! Eight different colors with three sets of three dies! That 192 leaves … and you will be seeing OTHER creations made from this stash in the coming week!
After cutting all the leaves I then used my Blending Brushes to add a little more color/texture to each leaf with its coordinating ink. How pretty! I had so many that I was tempted to pile them all up and jump in!!
The Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies are gorgeous!! I also used the Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder to add even more depth to the center piece behind the sentiment. I don’t wanna even tell you how many episodes of The Gilmore Girls I finished whilst doing this, but suffice it to say that it was more than one!! Paper: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Darling Duckling, Golden Glow, Pumpkin Pie, Timid Tiger, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze Ink: Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Darling Duckling, Golden Glow, Pumpkin Pie, Timid Tiger, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze Accessories: Elegant Leaves Dies, Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder, Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies, Mosaic Adhesive-Backed Dots, Linen Thread, Gold Foil

This month's Stampin' Fancy Friday Challenge was so much fun! We were tasked with making something with either a "mini" or "mighty" vibe ... whether it be dies, stamps, DSP or whatever hit the spot for us! Luckily for me, I had a couple of extra tiny pumpkins sitting on my craft table leftover from a previous project, so I decided to make one of the little pumpkins the focal point this time around!
How cute is this bitsy pumpkin??? I love it!! I added a frame using the Perennial Postage Dies, and added some leftover vines I had from the Painted Pumpkins set as well.
I pulled out my Simply Scored board and added both vertical and horizontal space lines (the vertical ones are every 1/4" inch). And some splattering was the perfect "finishing touch" that this card needed!

I knew that the Shining Stars Dies (BEST Product of the Month EVER!) we’re going to have to be center stage for this week’s celebration-themed challenge!!
I ended up putting some of the Mosaic Garden DSP AND some Old Olive Mulberry paper as the backdrops for the stars … with a little touch of gold foil behind the sentiment panel!
Swirls of Magic - this embossing folder was the most excellent pairing for the Shining Stars!
The little dots and gold embossed sentiment were just the right touches to complete this creation!
