Oh my goodness — time flies by so quickly.
It was months ago that we started planning for our Fall Fest Retreat
and now it is almost here!!!
Four of us worked together to plan the big day.
My sister, Tina, and a team member Amanda are holding their event in Edgerton, WI and my daughter, Katie, and I have our event in Woodstock, IL.
We have been busy cutting card stock, punching, stamping and getting everything
ready for Saturday’s big day. I can’t show you more than this right now but I will definitely share with you next week.
We have lots of surprises and goodies up our sleeves for all the ladies and one gentleman attending. I know they will be pleased at the end of the day.
For now, here’s a card from my Acorny Thank You Stamp of the Month Class.
This was a fun card.
The base is Early Espresso.
The next layer is Tip Top Taupe — we ran it through the Woodgrain Embossing Folder, then we lightly sponged over it with Early Espresso ink to highlight the bark.
We layered a piece of Into the Woods designer paper onto
Tangerine Tango card stock. Adhere burlap ribbon banner over designer paper.
We used the Note Tag Punch and Crushed Curry card stock for the tag hanging under the designer paper layer. Stamp the greeting with Early Espresso ink.
We used Whisper White card stock for the tag on the front of the card.
I punched the tag for everyone but promised to show how I did it.
The card stock is 1 1/2″ wide — insert into the punch but pull the end up through the punch as shown. Punch — here’s what it looks like so far.
Then insert the punched end into the punch again — pull the punched end up through the opening and line up with the bottom of the punch as shown.
And finally here is the tag.
TaDa — now stamp the acorn base with Tangerine Tango and the top with Early Espresso (right on the tag). Attach to card front with dimensionals.
The card base is Delightful Dijon with a layer of Soft Suede and then Cajun Craze.
