Sweet Stampede October Blog Hop

 Hello everyone! I missed you all last month! But, I'm back! This is my very favorite season! I'm so excited that we are in the BER months!

We are using all the fall colors for this month's Blog Hop.


                                            My slimline card


                                            Inside



I chose Gathering Moments for my card. Its one of my new favorite stamp sets for Autumn.

These are the instructions for my card. I decided on a Slimline card this time.

Base - 8 3/4 x 7 1/2 scored at 3 3/4 on the 7 1/2 side

Second layer - 8 1/4 x 3 1/4, I ran it through the  Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder.

I then stamped all the leaves, acorn and mushroom in Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie and Cherry Cobbler on Basic White card stock.

I cut them all out with the coordinating dies.

I then stamped the sentiment and cut it out with the Textured Notes dies.

I layered them all on the front with dimentionals and glue dots.

To finish I added Mossy Meadow Low-Profile Sparkle Dots.

Slimline cards use standard business size envelopes.

Next in line is Heather Guerrero. I know you will enjoy her Blog!!

Sorry I've been away from my Blog for so long! I have been really enjoying Chalk Couture lately. I still love paper crafts but I'm branching out.

I made this with my teacher friends in mind! I just have this one. If anyone is interested, let me know!
