Set of Fall Thank You Cards

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a set of Thank You cards to share that I made for Audrey's recent order.

She requested a pack that was seasonal. I pulled out a pack of paper from 2008 called Summer Picnic DSP. It is the same pack of paper I used on the Fall Treats from this past Monday. I also used the same stamp set, Tart n Tangy.

Card Details:

Stamps: Tart n Tangy (retired-2008), Earthen Textures (saying)

Ink: Real Red, Old Olive

Cardstock: Real Red, Old Olive, Basic White, Summer Picnic DSP (retired-2008)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I found that I have about 3/4 of this pack of DSP left and decided to try to use alot of it up in this one set of cards. I covered the entire front panel with the flowery print and then used the Stitched Rectangles to diecut the other 2 pieces on the front. This is one technique that always helps to use up the paper. Audrey loved that this paper matched the Fall treat I gave her. I told her that I have been working hard on using my retired supplies when I can. It worked well for the set of treats and my Thank You cards!

Fall Apple Treats

 Hello & Happy Monday!

 

Hope you had a nice weekend! The Fall weather has finally made it's way to PA. The leaves are slowly starting to change colors but nothing vibrant yet. Yesterday was football day and Kelsey & Shady came over for the day since she was off. We made a turkey dinner w all the fixings since the weather is much cooler. 

Today I am sharing a sweet Fall treat that I made up a few weeks ago. One day I was going thru drawers to see what I had in my stash. I found these Gift Card Enclosures that Stampin Up! carried a few years ago. Here is a picture of them...

I had 8 of them left in my stash and decided to make them into a holder for some yummy treats.

I had just gotten a box of Little Debbie Oatmeal Pies (a favorite), Ghiradelli Chocolate Caramel Apple Pie Squares and Tootsie Roll Caramel Apple Pops and I combined them into my Gift Card Enclosure holders. I wrapped a belly Band around it using retired Summer Picnic DSP then stamped an apple from the retired Tart N Tangy stamp set. Everything I used is retired.

Project Details:

Stamps: Tart n Tangy (retired-2008)

Ink: Old Olive

Cardstock: Old Olive, Basic White, Terracotta Tile (retired), Gold Foil Paper, Gift Card Enclosures (retired), Summer Picnic DSP (retired-2008)

Accessories: Gathered Leaves Dies (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), 

Terracotta Tile Ribbon (retired), Gilded Gems (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I already handed a few of these out and gave to the girls on Saturday.

Audrey just gushed over hers. I was hoping she did not request any because I do not have anymore of the holders left.

Thank You Cards

 Hello & Happy Friday!

Today I have another set of apple cards to share!

My card lady is on a roll with apple cards since it is apple picking season around here. I pulled out a retired stamp set called Tart & Tangy and got to work.

First I went thru my papers and found scraps of this pretty paper from October Afternoon. I'm not sure when this was available but it was a long time ago.

I started with a Real Red cardbase then a layer of Very Vanilla that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Tasteful Textile 3D EF. Next I added a 1 x 5 piece of retired Old Olive DSP then my cute apple paper. I had enough to make this set of cards with a few pieces left. I tried to make it work with what I had left. 

Then I stamped my apple image using Real Red & Old Olive Stampin Write Markers. They were diecut with Very Vanilla Circle Layering Framelits then matted with an Old Olive Scalloped Circle. My sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso and diecut with the Seasonal Layers Dies. Lastly, I added 1 Red Rhinestone to each apple and popped up the sentiment panel.

Card Details:

Stamps: Pansy Patch (sentiment), Tart & Tangy (retired)

Ink: Early Espresso, Real Red & Old Olive Stampin Write Markers

Cardstock: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Old Olive DSP (retired), October Afternoon Paper

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Circle Layering Framelits, Seasonal Layers Dies, Red Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue
