Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for October 2022 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects and design styles to share with you this month - all about "Thinking of you!"
~*~*~*~*~
I love fall - the crispness in the air, the food and drinks, cinnamon and apples - but mostly the changing leaves. We were fortunate enough to be in Tennessee and West Virginia last week and witness the beauty first hand - so as I created today, that was on my mind. I started with one of the smaller branches from Forever Fern - and using a mask cut with our Layering Circles dies out of post-it paper - I created a wreath.
This is so simple to do, and creates such an impact when you remove the post-it!
Then I cut out layer circle of the same three colors - Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive - and created a focal point in the middle of my wreath.
This set didn't have a "thinking of you", so I pulled out my Soft Seedlings set - which had a perfect one. Wrapped it with a little linen thread and tied a bow - then added some of our Champagne Rhinestone gems. Just so beautiful in it's simplicity.
Of course - I had to decorate the envelope to match and I love how it turned out.
So what do you think? I love it - perfect colors for this time of year - and who can't use a few more thinking of you cards, right?
I hope you got some inspiration from this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!
