Fall has arrived......can I get a YIPEE!

Fall has arrived......my favourite season of the year. The weather cools off and the sun sets earlier and rises later....perfect for a night Owl like me. I have again been bad at posting on my blog, but will try to catch you up now.
This card uses two new items from our Fall/Winter Seasonal Expressions. The first is this beautiful Embossing Folder that I used for the base of this card. I embossed Fern cardstock, then rubbed coordinating ink over the entire thing. It is mounted on Glacier cardstock, which is also used for where the sentiment is stamped with Fern ink.

The die cut leaf is from new stamp set with coordinating Thin Cuts, Falling For You - Cardmaking. It is a wonderful set with lots of leaf choices. The amazing Gold scalloped border was created with our fantastic NEW Gold Foil cardstock and Scallop Border Thin Cuts. I added clear Sparkles that I coloured with a Shin Han alcohol marker.

Christmas Cards with Cricut Design Space

I have been so inspired by many CTMH Consultants.
Most recently both Jennifer Smith and Julie Carriere have piqued my interest with their amazing workshops and easy purchase of their Cricut Design Space files. After putting myself through a self taught crash course of Design Space, I felt very satisfied altering some files. I created these cards and would like to offer the files and instructions to you, for purchase.


These cards will make a great Christmas card workshop for you and/or your customers, or for you to make and send out.
