This lively combination of shapes and fall colors blend and pop for today’s autumn card. It was such a fun card to make with key players Stampin’ Up! More Than Autumn stamp set and dies, one of My Favorite Things (see ALL 10% off bundles) and the Greetings of the Season Dies, an on-line exclusive and one of My Favorite Things. I’m ready for fall (and a little apple pie). How about you?
apple pie autumn card: forever plaid modern texture
WHAT I LOVE! The Stampin’ Up Forever Plaid Embossing Folder was an instant “must-have” for me in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. It offers a modern and classy texture for ANY occasion. There was no question that this “supersized” (6 x 8 1/2) embossing folder would land on the list of My Favorite Things. Why so big? It gives you options for larger scrapbooking areas as well as the ability to emboss the front and back of a horizontal 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card with just one “zip” thru the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Convinced?
