Bloggers Challenge – Thinking of You

September 11, 2009 By Connie | 15 Comments

 

Happy Friday!  I’m headed off this afternoon to attend the Cincinnati Regionals tomorrow!  Woohoo!!!  So excited…it is like a mini Convention!  I’ll be catching up with several people I normally only see at Convention or Leadership, so that will be fun!

Today’s Bloggers’ Challenge is to create a Thinking of You card.  I seem to use a lot of this type of card.  I wanted to use one of the new fall sets in the Holiday Mini called Autumn Splendor.  The leaves have a beautiful fine drawing which makes it perfect for coloring, embossing or just stamping in colors.  I have seen some gorgeous cards done with this set!

I also used the coordinating fall designer paper in the big catalog, called Autumn Traditions.  These are definitely MY colors!  I love the Earth Elements color family!  The base is More Mustard and I placed a layer of Soft Suede cardstock on top of that.  Then I punched 1 1/4 squares from the Designer Paper and placed them like tiles in the background.  I stamped the leaf with Versamark on More Mustard and the acorns on Soft Suede, embossed them with Gold Embossing Powder, then cut them out.  Thinking of You is from Thoughts & Prayers stamp set.  I cut out the tag from the Matchbox XL Bigz Die with my Big Shot and More Mustard cardstock, then stamped the words in Basic Brown and sponged the edges. I really like how this turned out!

I hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend!  It is supposed to be gorgeous here!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 18 years and had my 17 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
