Stampin' Addicts Fall Holiday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin' Addicts Fall Holiday Blog Hop! Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy a selection of fabulous fall projects from the Holiday seasonal catalog, which was released on August 1.

This is the first time I get to kick off the blog hop - woohoo!  But in case you are following the circle, you have just come from Tina's blog featuring the Envelope Liner Framelits. Didn't she do an amazing job?

If you know me, I love, love, love Fall and fall projects!  I just had to play with the new leaf stamp set, Magnificent Maple, plus the new papers and accessories!  Being that this is a single-image set, it will be a challenge for me.  Come and root me on!  Of course, the first project ya gotta make is a straight-forward card using fun Holiday catalog coordinating products.

Here I sponged the card stock before stamping the leaf, after stamping off once.  I sponged the edges a bit more after fussy cutting.

Stamps: Magnificent Maple, Truly Grateful; Paper: Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Sweater Weather DSP; Ink: Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip; Accessories: Burlap ribbon, Designer Naturals button, Sponges, Circles #2 die, Perfect Pennants die, Big Shot, Sewing machine, Thread, Dimensionals.

How about a card with a bit more of a "trick"?  Here I stamped my leaf image lightly, and cut it out.  I sponged the backside of the leaf as my main image, for a more abstract look.

Stamps: Magnificant Maple, Four You, Gorgeous Grunge; Paper: Whisper White; Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Versamark; Accessories: Clear EP, Sponges, Brayer, Secret Garden framelits, Autumn Accents die, Big Shot, Post-Its.

I wanted to try a rustic type box to hold some maple leaf cookies.

I used a shaker box template from the internet and altered it into a basket.  This way you can get a peek at the fun coordinating liner.  I'm going to submit this project over at Ann Marie's fun fall-themed challenge at the Paper Players, anything but a card.

Stamps: Magnificant Maple, Really Good Greetings; Paper: Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand; Ink: Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip; Accessories: Thankful Tablescape kit, Mini silver brads, Sponges.

I hope some of these ideas will help jump start your fall crafting.  If you aren't yet a member of Stampin' Addicts, you can sign up here.
