Dear Ones~
  There's a new challenge up over at Can You Handle the Pressure.   For this challenge blog you MUST use an EMBOSSING FOLDER on your project.  Heat (with embossing powder) embossing is permitted but only IN ADDITION to your embossing folder design.  Each new challenge will have a 'TWIST' which is optional ... your choice to use or not.

PUMPKINS
 Here's my card:
I love the look of a very large mat and a small image in the middle. You can't see it well in the photo, but I have used the Stampin' Up 3D Folder called Corrugated for the white panel and the kraft panel behind the pumpkins.

 
You can see the corrugated look better here.

Double D - Octoberfest

Dear Ones~

I can't believe it's time for Octoberfest, but there you just are. And that's the theme for the new Double D Challenge. Here's the Mood Board for our inspiration:
 
Here is what I came up with:
This cute Scarecrow is from a new set over at Gina K Designs called Autumn Scarecrow. It's designed by Debrah Warner, and I just think he's so stinkin' cute. I had a great time paper piecing him with various patterned papers. Love how he turned out. That textured panel behind the Scarecrow is a piece of wall paper I found in my stash. Have no idea what it's called.




 
 
Here's a closer look at him. He just makes me smile.











The Ingredients:
Paper Studio Natural Botanical Patterned Papers
SU Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla Card Stock
GKD Autumn Scarecrow Stamp Set
Concord & 9th Layering Leaves Dies for "Wheat"
SU Tasteful Label Die for Greeting
SU Copper Embellishments
 
 
 
 
 
 
 If you head on over to the  Double D Challenge Blog and play along, you could win this adorable die by Cottage Cutz, isn't he cute? Don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created.  
 
You should take a minute to swing on over to the Double D Challenge and check it out. There's lots of fun to be had there. I hope you aspire to be inspired!!!
