And here is my card using Magnificent Maple single stamp in the Holiday Catalog. This time I made a fall "sunflower" using the Pansy Punch. Have I said how much I love this punch???
Here are the details:
- The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Crushed Curry, folded in half.
- On the 4 x 5 1/4 Very Vanilla layer, I used the Scoring Tool and embossed a line around the edges at 1/4" on all sides. Just a little extra texture!
- I cut three 1 x 2 1/2 panels of Sweater Weather Designer Paper and adhere them on top.
- I stamped the Magnificent Maple leaf in Chocolate Chip on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and cut it out, then placed it on front.
- I punched the Pansy punch three times with Crushed Curry cardstock, sponged the edges with Pumpkin Pie, then crumbled up the flowers and layered them together. I punched a 7/8 Scallop Circle of Chocolate Chip cardstock for the center and adhere with a Stampin' Dimensional.
- In the center of the flower, I tied Linen Thread in the small Naturals button and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot.
- Finally, I stamped Happy Birthday from the hostess only set, Express Yourself with Chocolate Chip on a 1/2" strip of Very Vanilla, cut the flag end and curled the edges a little.
Pretty, isn't it??? I love the fall feel of it! Putting me in the mood to see fall! lol! We have so many fall birthdays, it is nice to get a head start on them!

I love this! Fall colors are my favorite and this cards is GREAT! Could be used for any occasion!
Love how the colors pop off the vanilla background! So pretty! And what a great way to make a sunflower – my favorite!!
What a great card, Connie! I LOVE everything about it…the pretty printed papers, your stamped leaf and dimensional flower with the button and twine and center scallop, the sentiment on the paper ribbon/flag! Just a great look and it does not look terribly complicated…something up my alley, ha! Thanks for sharing! hugs, Laura
