It was hard to pick a favorite “critter” to show off on today’s Sweet Days of Autumn Card & Tutorial. They are all so adorable and modern. I finally settled on the bear and the fox. The Stampin’ Up! Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper and Autumn to Remember stamp set are only available as part of the Stampin’ Up! on-line exclusives collection here.
Perfect pairing! autumn expressions dies & sweet days of autumn card
WHAT I LOVE! The die I used to crop the sentiment (Autumn to Remember) is from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions dies. I adore the die cut dashed border and perfect fit for the sentiment!
