October Workshop (Yup, still catching up)

The beautiful fall colors, a cozy fire, the smell of fall all around us.  What a great time to make a card using the French Foliage stamp set and the Triple Stamping Technique.

To do this technique you need to temporarily attach three squares to the card stock.  Stamp the leaves all over, and then emboss it with the Square Lattice TIEF. Now remove the three squares and mount them on Early Espresso card stock.  Next match them to their original location on the card and attach.  Finish the card by attaching to Cajun Craze card stock and then add two leaves, ribbon, and a Natural Designer Button tied with Linen Thread.

This is one of my favorite cards and can be used for many occasions.  The Triple Stamping Technique looks great using stamp sets with flowers, stars and snowflakes.  I hope you'll make one.

We haven't had much snow this year but these little snow men just can't help but put a smile on your face.  It seems like just yesterday I was making snow angels and snow men in my mom and dad's backyard.  I hope you have many special memories too.
