REMARKABLE BLOG TOUR - AUTUMN SPLENDOR

Today starts the Holiday Blog Tour by the Remarkable Stampers. I'm thrilled to be a part of the tour showcasing different stamp sets from the Holiday Mini. For the next 4 days we will be showing lots of great art work with samples you will love to copy. Leave me a comment each day and I will choose several to win great SU! prizes! If you post a comment each day you will be eligible for the grand prize,

Today, I'm featuring the stamp set Autumn Splendor (116503) and the new Autumn Meadows designer paper (116769). I chose to emboss the leaves and the acorns from the set in gold on chocolate chip card stock. This is a really neat effect. I embossed them all with SU! gold embossing powder at the same time for all of the cards and the box shown below then at my leisure cropping with the remarkables, I cut them out and designed the cards below. Here you can get an even better idea of how nicely these stamps emboss. Embossing a bunch at the same time really saves time. Don't you just love this hounds tooth paper from the autumn meadows papers? The card stock base is pumpkin pie and it goes so well with the chocolate chip. The sentiment is from teeny tiny wishes.
In this next card I did the same but used the scallop edge punch on the hounds tooth paper and added the leaves to more mustard card stock. The sentiment is Grateful Greetings from the new Holiday Mini stamp set by the same name. This stamp set has 12 different greetings in it that can be used for all of the major holidays from now until Valentine's day.
I also embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.
This paper is also a part of the autumn meadows designer paper. This paper pack is really versatile and has so many different colors in it.
For the box, I used my Big Shot for box number 2. After I die cut the box I ran the bright blessings wheel in old olive ink over the box. The card stock used for the box was kraft card stock and the ribbon is chocolate chip taffeta. This would really make a nice table setting for thanksgiving and inside you could write a poem or thankful thoughts about the person who was seated at that spot.
