Thanks for visiting the Third Thursdays Blog Hop!  I cannot believe that summer vacations are winding down, school is starting and that fall is just around the corner.  Today is sure to get you in the mood for the upcoming seasons as you visit along with us for a Holiday Debut so sit back and enjoy the inspirations!!!  

The August-December 2020 Mini Catalog is full of so many wonderful new and returning products!  I hope that you have had the chance to sit down and enjoy browsing the pages that are full of inspiration.  Today's cards feature the new Beautiful Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set!  

I walk every morning along the bike trail behind our property... it's wonderful to have this metropark path so close to us!  Walking along this trail inspires me daily and the minute I saw this amazing stamp set, I knew that it would be a year-round stamp set for me.

Instead of focusing on the colder months ahead... I decided to focus on the cooler months where you just want to live outside, play touch football and drink apple cider.  The time of year where we are all thankful for our blessings and tend to focus more on them as we circle around the turkey.

With the Stamparatus, the wreath was stamped in Soft Suede and colored with Stampin' Blends - Light Mossy Meadow, Light Granny Apple Green, Dark Soft Sea Foam and Light Daffodil Delight.  The standard size card base was scored at 5-1/2" and 4-1/4", flipped over and scored halfway between the scorelines.  This created the accordian-type fold.  The Vanilla 1/2" Ribbon from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack wrapped nicely around the fold to mimic the card front.  The Beautiful Autumn sentiment was stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder.

For the second card, the background had previously been embossed with embossing paste and my Bumblebee reinker.  You can click here to read how I prepared it.   The wreath was handstamped, colored with Blends and fussy cut.  Next it was placed on the embossed background where I realigned the stencil and sponged the white space with Bumblebee ink.  The sentiment from To a Wild Rose (Annual Catalog, p. 15) was stamped in Soft Suede and fussy cut.

The inside continued with the sponging with the leaves and sentiment from Country Home (Annual Catalog, p. 89).  The envelope was stamped and colored with the leaves.
