Stampin' Up Season of Gratitude, Acorny Thank You, Sheltering Tree, Leaflets

We have been having some seriously, unbelievable, gorgeous weather for the start of November here in Michigan.  Full on sun for three days now and you don't even need a jacket by noon time.  I'm LOVIN' it!!!

My share for today is four cards and envelopes that I designed using Stampin' Up's Season of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit, Acorny Thank You & Sheltering Tree Stamp Sets and Leaflets Framelits Dies.

Let's take a look:

Although the color of our Fall leaves is almost gone now, I decided to go with a Leaf scenario today.  And, since I adore shaker cards and love to make them, I combined the two.

My card base is Very Vanilla Cardstock cut at 4" x 8" and scored and folded at 4".

Using Stampin' Up's Leaflets Framelits Dies, I die cut my leaves from Cajun Craze Cardstock.  I trimmed the negative pieces out at all different sizes and adhered my trimmed out pieces of SU Window Sheets to the back of each negative Cajun Craze die cut with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using SU's Sheltering Tree Stamp Set, I stamped the Paint Stroke stamp in Garden Green onto Very Vanilla Cardstock to make it look like grass.  I then stamped the 2-piece Bicycle in Soft Suede Ink above the grass.

For the inside of my card:  Using SU's Acorny Thank You Stamp Set, I stamped my Sentiment in Soft Suede Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, die cut it out using SU's Leaflets Framelits Dies and adhered it to the inside of my card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using the Season of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set, I stamped the Acorn in Soft Suede Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock.

I filled my shakers with four different colored Sequins from the Season of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I also added a little bit of each of SU's Gold Glitter and Gold Mica Flakes.

For the inside of my card:  Using the Sentiment from SU's Acorny Thank You Stamp Set and the Acorn from Season of Gratitude Stamp Set, I stamped both in Soft Suede Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and die cut it out using SU's Leaflets Framelits Dies.
 

Using SU's Acorny Thank You Stamp Set, I stamped the Acorn in Soft Suede Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock.

I adhered three Sequins to each 4" x 4" card.

For the inside of my card, I stamped the Acorn from SU's Acorny Thank You Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and die cut it out using SU's Leaflets Framelits Dies.
 

I stamped the Tree from SU's Sheltering Tree Stamp Set to look like Leaf Veins onto Very Vanilla Cardstock.
 

I used SU's Garden Green and Gold Baker's Twine to wrap around my cards and tie my bows.  The Baker's Twine comes in a Trio Pack with the other color being Cherry Cobbler.

For the inside of my card, I stamped the Sentiment from SU's Season of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and die cut it out using SU's Leaflets Framelits Dies.

Using my SU Envelope Punch Board, I made four 4" x 4" card size Envelopes.

Using SU's Sheltering Tree Stamp Set, I stamped the Leaf Rake in Soft Suede Ink in the bottom left corner of each Envelope.

Using the Tiny Leaves Stamp, I colored the Leaves with Stampin' Write Markers in Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Garden Green and Real Red.  I then Huffed on my stamp and stamped the Leaves below the Leaf Rake.

Please come back tomorrow to see the Holder that I designed for my cards and envelopes.

That's all I have for today.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!
