So happy you are checking out our September Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator has created projects featuring products from the Sept-Dec Mini-catalog! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating demonstrators. Here’s a little preview of my card:

My card features the Autumn Leaves stamp set (#162179)! I love the detail of the flowers in this set! It is a part of the Autumn Leaves Bundle (#162186) and also a part of the All About Autumn Suite Collection (#162193). The card base is Crushed Curry. The leaves are stamped in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry. The stamps do all of the shading work for you!! Next the stems were stamped in Pecan Pie. The sentiment is also stamped in Pecan Pie with the a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Ribbon (#159577) behind it. Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems (#161300) complete my card.

Welcome to our September Blog Waddle! We are featuring new Stampin’ products from the Sept-Dec Mini-catalog on our cards!!
I picked the Rustic Crate bundle(#162268) for my card. The bundle includes the Rustic Crate stamp set (#162265) and the Rustic Crate Dies (#162267). I am especially fascinated with the crate!

The card base is Crushed Curry with a layer of Inked Botanicals 6″ X 6″ DSP (#161157). I added a piece of Basic Black for interest. The crate is die cut from Pecan Pie and Basic Black. (Hint: the larger of the crate pieces folds forward.) The fall arrangement was colored wit Stampin’ Blends and Stampin Write Markers: Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Wild Wheat, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler and Pecan Pie. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black and I fussy cut the ends. A bow of Black & White Gingham ribbon (#156485) completes my card.

Season’s greetings, crafter!

It includes everything for creating 15 gift tags in less than an hour. That’s right—15 tags in less than an hour! That’s because this kit comes with everything preprinted—no stamping. Just adhere the die cuts and stickers to the tags and add twine. You can add the tags to the gifts you are giving. Or assemble the whole stack and give the completed tags as a gift for someone else to use. Either way, these handcrafted tags will add a handmade touch to the holidays.
