I realize that where you live all the trees may be bear, and there may even be snow on the ground, but in Georgia we still have some nice Autumn colors. That was the inspiration for today’s card. I used the Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies, which are available as a bundle to save 10%. I stamped the leaves using a baby wipe technique.
Here’s what I made:

sentiment in Old Olive ink onto the Very Vanilla CS layer

Baby Wipe StampingTechnique:
layered baby wipes in one side of a plastic stamp case, four layers thick
used Stampin’ Ink Refills in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and Old Olive to scatter random dots of ink onto the stack of baby wipes
used this as an ink pad to stamp the leaves, being sure to clean the stamp between each leaf
NOTE: You can close the stamp case to keep it moist for a while, so you can reuse it.

Okay. I’ve gotta have one. How do I get in line?
With the launch of this tool, we’re trying something different: testing a new reservation system. It acts like a true preorder: you reserve your spot and we guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in our warehouse. Demonstrators and customers will place reservations and receive their product at the same time. This system will allow us to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory.
The global launch will feature two reservation windows. The remaining window is December 5-30, 2017. The tools will ship in the order in which the reservations are received, so order soon! This is the last chance you’ll have to order the Stamparatus until the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog goes live in June 2018. Unless you join my team, in which case you’ll be able to preorder from the new Annual Catalog in May!
For each reservation window, please note the following:
Limit is 1 tool per person per reservation window.
Customers may participate in both reservation windows.
In order to reserve your Stamparatus, you are required to provide your credit card information, so have it handy.
Credit cards will not be charged until the Stamparatus ships from our facility. When you close your order, be sure to verify that your credit card and shipping information is correct.
I finally got around to using the Christmas Happiness stamp set from the 2017 Holiday Catalog, and it’s a beauty. It has images of mistletoe, pine cones, pine sprig, and Christmas lights, plus some very sweet sentiments. For today’s card, I used the sprig and lights and one of the sentiments. I added a special touch by ruching some Tranquil Tide 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon on the front of the card. At first I tried to make it look uneven, but it looked very even, so I tried to continue making it look even, then it started getting wonky. Tell me what you think.
Real Red card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
Tranquil Tide CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Whisper White CS cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″ (2 pieces: one for the top layer and one for the inside)
Stamped with the Christmas Happiness stamp set:
sprig in Tranquil Tide ink onto the Whisper White CS layer
light sockets in Garden Green ink onto the sprig
light bulbs filled in with Real Red, Pacific Point, and Daffodil Delight inks
sentiment in Real Red ink to the left of the sprig
Assembled the card:
ribbon adhered to the Whisper White CS layer using Fast Fuse – put a line of adhesive on the CS; adhered the ribbon, making waves with my fingers to create the ruched effect; wrapped the ends around to the back of the CS and secured with Fast Fuse (Tear & Tape works well for this technique, too.)
Whisper White CS layer glued onto the Tranquil Tide CS layer
Tranquil Tide CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
second piece of Whisper White CS glued to the inside of the card base

At the September Candy Hearts Team Meeting, Judy Newsome demonstrated this technique, and we all got to make this awesome Fall card that she designed.
