Acorny Thankful

Last night was my Acorny Thank You Stamp of the Month Class.
Everyone got the stamp set and the coordinating Acorn Builder Punch — I love this combination — so fun.
We made four cards using this great duo.
ThankfulThe base of this card is Tip Top Taupe.
I used the 2 1/2" Circle Punch to punch out Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey circles.
I used the 1 3/4" Circle Punch to punch out a Soft Suede circle.
I used three images from Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the background — stamping all three images with Tip Top Taupe ink.
Adhere the circles to the card front — the Mossy Meadow circle was hanging over just a bit, so I trimmed the edge even with the front.
On a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, I stamp two acorn images with Hello Honey ink.
The acorn tops are stamped with Mossy Meadow ink and Soft Suede ink — punch out with the Acorn Builder Punch.  Adhere the acorn top to the acorn base with dimensionals.  Stamp "thankful" with Mossy Meadow ink and trim around the banner with paper snips.  Adhere the acorns and the banner to the card front with dimensionals.  I added a little acorn from the Into the Woods Elements with a little piece of dimensional.

This card would be great for a "guy card" — kind of "fally" and not feminine.

The Leaves and Acorns are Falling

I went to visit my parents this weekend.
I enjoyed the drive up north and the colors of the leaves.
The further north we went the fewer the leaves.
My parents live about 3 hours north and I was amazed at how many of the trees had already lost all of their leaves.  The acorns are on the ground too.
This card is a great representation of the time of year.
AcornsThe card base is Very Vanilla.
The black and white banner is a leftover piece from the Witches Hat kit (but you could easily cut it using the Lots of Labels Framelits and designer paper.
The leaves cut out with the Leaflet Framelit and the acorn punched out with the Acorn Builder Punch from Crumb Cake card stock.  Sponge the edges of the leaves and acorn with Soft Suede ink.  The top of the acorn is stamp with the acorn top from Acorny Thank You and Soft Suede ink.  Adhere the leaves and acorn to the card front with dimensionals.  Tie a double bow with White Bakers Twine and adhere the bow with Glue Dots.

Pretty quick and you could stamp any greeting you need.

Acorn Hello

Acorny Thank You has been a fun fall stamp set.
I just love playing with different color combinations.
This stamp set is my Stamp of the Month set this month so you'll be seeing a few more card samples this week so I thought I would start you out with this one I made for a demonstrator event last month.
Hi AcornsThe card base is Tip Top Taupe with a layer of Early Espresso that has been embossed with the Woodlands embossing folder.
I punched a 2" circle through both layers.
A layer of Whisper White has been adhered to the inside of the card.
The acorn was with Tip Top Taupe on Tip Top Taupe cardstock and punched out with the coordinating Acorn Punch.  The acorn top was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink and punched out.  I used dimensionals to adhere the top to the base of the acorn.  Tie a bow with Linen Thread and adhere to the acorn with a Glue Dot.  Attach the Acorn with dimensionals in the middle of the opening.
Stamp the greeting on Whisper White cardstock with Rich Razzleberry ink.
I used the Happy Haunting Washi Tape — two strips.
