Lighthearted Leaves Double Fold Gate Card, DOstamping VIP Program

In MN today, Autumn is in the air!  The smell, the sounds, the color and just enough of a chill in the air for a sweater.  My favorite time of year.  Here's the perfect card to share with you today, using the new Lighthearted Leaves.  It features a Fun Fold that I shared last month, Double Fold Gate Card. 

 

The Autumn color palette is Old Olive, Tangelo Twist and Soft Suede.  The sponging really makes the the leaves pop, as well as softens their tone.  Plus, I bring the outside to the inside panel with a little stamping too.

 

Your friends will enjoy receiving this card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.  But really - any time of year is a time for both Thanks and Giving!

Happy Autumn~Dawn O

NOTE:  In order to receive the above items it's important that you have your online account set to:

YES, Allow my demonstrator to contact me with order updates and other important information.

If this set to NO, then I'm afraid I do not have access to any of your information (email, mailing address, phone #, etc) - so I won't be able to email you a VIP newsletter or even a thank you message acknowledging your order, or mail you any VIP Gifts.  So if this describes you, and you haven't ever heard from me...that is why.

DOstamperSTARS Challenge #151: Cozy Christmas with Season of Cheer

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we're having a Sketch challenge. 

When I saw this week's sketch, I thought I would make a fall-themed card.  But for some reason, I was in the Christmas mood.  I think it was because I did a holiday card for my local Card Buffet class this week, and still had some of the supplies at the ready.  Hope it's not too early for Christmas!

Today's card is a clean and simple card, featuring the new Holiday Catalog paper Season Of Cheer Designer Series Paper.  Gotta love that poinsettia pattern!  Just a little bit, goes a long way (only 1" x 4") - making this a great card for mass-production.  I paired it with Mossy Meadow (3/4" x 4-1/4") and Soft Sky (4-1/4" x 11").

The greeting from Cozy Christmas was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink and die cut with the Tags & Labels Framelits Dies (largest one from the collection that is shown in the upper right corner).  This is a must-have framelit set.  I reach for it often!  Click for more Framelit Measurements.

 

I felt like the greeting needed a little something else.  First I thought maybe I should have inked it with two colored markers, but I wasn't confident that would turn out very successfully.  So instead, I reached for the Tree Builder Punch and punched out some flowers.  Added Pearl Basic Jewels (this month's VIP Host Code Gift)  to the center and adhered them over the flower images in the greeting.  Viola...just the right touch to tie everything together!

Stampin' Up! has lots of fabulous products to choose from in the Holiday Catalog.  Don't wait too long to get started on your holiday crafting!

Enjoy~Dawn O
