MACM – Thanks (Autumn Card)

in Cards, Make a Card Monday

MACM - Thanks

Good morning, all!

For this week’s card, I really wanted to use a stamp set that I bought a while ago and have been waiting for the perfect moment to use. Stampin’ Up!’s Falling Leaves stamp set is so cute! I just love all the little leaves! I’d been reserving it for a thanksgiving type card, whatever that might be. :)

Anyway, in addition to the stamp set, I used some of Quickutz’ 4×12 adhesive cork sheets to diecut the letters for the sentiment. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Timeless Type Jr. for the letters and originally was concerned with them. Because the dies are Sizzlets and are chemically etched dies, they usually can’t cut thicker materials (steel rule dies are better for that sort of thing). However, the Sizzlets did just fine with the thinner cork. I was totally surprised and delighted they worked!

So, enjoy the video! :) Oh, and my “secret” project that I’ve been working on is getting closer and closer to completion. In fact, I’ve decided to move up the reveal date from November 16th to next Monday, the 2nd! I can’t wait for ya’ll see what I’ve got cookin’. :)

Umm…You are in Marketing, so maybe you are putting together a website for client displaying your graphic talents. And it’s going live next week for the world to see.

perhaps wishful thinking . . . bringing back your calendar kits? I am also thinking Christmas cards kits. Like everyone else, I am looking forward to the big reveal!

This card of “Thanks” is the bee’s knees! You make it all look so easy and effortless. My swirly lines never look so good! I love to wallow in your creativeness. Thanks Kristina!

I loved this card so much and I’ve recreated it with different products – I was so glad to finally break out the leaf punch I’ve had for quite some time!
Here’s my take on your beautiful card:
