Spectacular September

It wasn't long ago that we were singing See You In September and suddenly it's here!!!  We are really excited to start giving our new ©SU! Holiday Catalog stamp sets a workout and this month's projects are just the beginning.  Here's a peek!!!

We get right down to business with a nice little Brick Wall back to school note for teacher, then move into a colorful Fall with some Vintage Leaves in the Woodland, and top things off with a Wonderful Winter Wonderland which is sure to be a favorite! 

Most papers, inks, and accessories used in our projects are from ©Stampin’ Up!

A Note for the Teacher

When we think of September we think of "back to school" excitement.  Our little clipboard thank you note is just the thing to remind us that teachers deserve lots of credit for encouraging that enthusiasm and a couple of apples at that! 

Back to School Note to the Teacher Card

The "note" is showcased on a Cherry Cobbler Card Stock wall created by brayering the Brick Wall Embossing Folder with Early Espresso Ink and embossing with the Big Shot.  The Writing Notes stamp set was stamped and trimmed and stamped again with the tree image and message from Sprinkles of Life.  We used three Espresso stamped apples from the same set and punched them with the Tree Builder Punch.  Our little faux clip at the top of our Early Espresso Clipboard is fashioned from a 2" x 2" piece of Brushed Silver Card Stock with the help of our Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  All ready to tuck in a backpack and send off as a bunch of thanks for the teacher!

Thankful for Fall

Tip Top Taupe and an embossed forest is our way of setting off some of the first falling leaves of the season.  This card makes use of our brand new Woodland embossing folder along with the Leaflets Thinlets.  Our Big Shot is one tool we don't want to do without!   We grabbed our Pumpkin Pie, Hello Honey, and Old Olive Inks to make each leaf  as unique as its stamper!

Vintage Leaves in the Woodland Card

Once we embossed the Tip Top Taupe and sponged it with Whisper White Ink we adhered it to our Chocolate Chip Card Stock for a lovely card front.  The sponged leaves are adhered, with one "standout" on a Dimensional.  We did a little decorating with a message from And Many More stamped in Taupe on Very Vanilla Card Stock Scrap and punched with the Washi Tape Punch.  Then we topped things off with a pretty Gold Basic Metal Button and adorned it with a little Linen Thread bow.  So simple and impressive. We hope we have created a little anticipation for that familiar Fall smell in the air!

A Winter Wonderland Just Around the Corner

One of our new most prized possessions in our ©Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set collection is the beautiful Wonderland set.  So versatile and who doesn't need at least one more really lovely tree set?

We are trying out the new Basic Black Ink.  Did we mention how much we love that too?  Add a little bit of brand new Winter Wonderland DSP and we are creating a masterpiece!  The card is a nice version of a tent type card.  We took a piece of 4 1/4" x 11" Basic Black Card Stock, scored it at 5 1/2" and trimmed to 7 1/4" long.  The rest was easy!

Wonderful Wonderland Card

Some snowflakes stamped with Gold Encore Ink and a two part message (we snipped the stamp in half so we could tuck the second half behind the bottom panel) stamped in Basic Black on the inside was an easy way to show off the entire Wonderland stamp set.  The vertical front panel is stamped Whisper White Card Stock on a 2" x 4 1/2" Basic Black Card Stock and decorated with some Gold 1/8" Ribbon. This card was so very easy and so very beautiful! What's not to love?
