Sunday was the Fall card swap I do with my Stamp Club. I made tags for the little baskets everyone places the cards into. My favorite suite of products for Fall, and maybe in the Holiday Catalog, is the Gather Together products. Of course that is what I used to make the name tags.
I am not very good at the infinity shots that some take of a group of cards and other products they have mass produced. But I think you can see how cute these are.
I really adore the leaves from the Gathering Leaves Dies, part of the Gather Together Bundle. They are perfectly sized, but best of all they emboss and cut at the same time. Whoever invented dies that do that are some of my favorite people!! I cut the three different sizes in different colors. I used Merry Merlot, Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzaz for the leaves.
The sentiment is from the Gather Together stamp set and is stamped in Pretty Peacock. I chose all of the colors from that wonderful plaid designer series paper. The shape of the sentiment is from the Story Label Punch. I also used the Delightful Tag Topper Punch for the top of the tag, but then I covered it up with the leaves.
The names were printed off the computer and then layered on Pretty Peacock card stock. The finishing touch was the piece of Burlap Ribbon with a Linen Thread tiny bow.
The tag itself is 2 X 5, and the DSP is 1 7/8 X 4 7/8. The name layer depended on the size of the name. 🙂 I see these as being re-made for a Thanksgiving party as place tags or for food names. The thought is to just turn the placement of the decorations. Make them 4 X 5 folded in half to 2 X 5 and sitting on the table with the decorations in top left corner or across the top. I will post a picture of that once I get them made. This is in my brain right now!

When looking through the stamp sets for a birthday idea for a stamping friend, I found the perfect set – or sets! What is better than It Starts With Art and Crafting Forever. A win / win.
This card does not scream “Birthday” so it could be for any occasion needed for a crafting or stamping friend. I was thrilled with how the two stamp sets paired so well together. I may have even gone a bit overboard on all the cuteness.
I used the It Starts With Art Bundle (stamps and dies), along with stamps from Crafting Forever. I used the Button Embossing Folder as the background. The embossed and die cut button is from the bundle and has a bow from Baker’s Twine as the string. The ribbon looking strip across the bottom is from the bundle as well.
Before I go, I wanted to give you my thoughts on the New Paper Cutter. I LOVE IT!!!! And I am not just saying that because I want you to purchase it when it becomes available to customers. The cutting blades are awesome. They are very sharp and require no pressure when sliding the blade. I have had to work on that part. The only thing to get used to is the bar itself. It locks into place when it is closed. I had to play with it a bit to figure out how to easily open it. But I think it gets easier the more used and as I get used to the proper way to open it.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are having a good start to your week. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

I have taken a break from the different holiday cards and gone back to the Annual Catalog again. I am playing with the Sailing Home and the High Tide stamp sets. They both work wonderfully together.
I paired the Sailing Home stamp set lighthouse and birds with the light from the High Tide stamp set. They are stamped in Gray Granite and Smoky Slate with Daffodil Delight as the Light. To enhance the simple stamps, I layered the image on the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.
The sentiment is from the Waterfront stamp set. I wanted something simple and the “friend” fit the bill perfectly. It is layered using the Layering Circles Dies and tied on with the Night of Navy and Sahara Sand Baker’s Twine.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will give this layout a try. It is a quick and easy one that would be very easy to make multiples of, or to dress up with a few more embellishments.

I have shared several cards using the Gather Together Bundle. I think it is a perfect Fall, and Thanksgiving set. So I have it again today for a color challenge.
My card was too dark, so I tried lightening it so you could see the sparkle and the detail of the background. From here it looks out of sorts. I apologize!! These Iphone updates are killing my picture production.
I paired Blackberry Bliss with Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake for the color challenge. I was immediately impressed with how well the Blackberry Bliss blended with the lighter colors instead of overpowering. To reward it for being so nice, I made it the focal point with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder.
The leaves are cut using the dies from the Gather Together Bundle. They are amazing!! They emboss and cut at the same time. I love a tool that multi-tasks for me. To give a bit of shimmer, I added some Clear Wink of Stella to each of the leaves.
The sentiment is from the stamp set and it is cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. That piece is finished off with just a little bow tied from the Nature’s Twine bundle of twine in Blackberry Bliss as well.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please come back tomorrow for one final project for the week. I am still trying to get the photo adjustments working!
