Gingham, flannel, and fall. Is there a more cozy combo as the weather cools and the colors change? Well if you like gingham too, you’ll enjoy the Gingham Cottage Suite of products (159663).

This suite is filled with welcoming wreaths and wonderful images that will work not only for fall but winter too! Check out these lovely cards made using the Cottage Wreaths Bundle (159659) along with autumn colors and images.

This next card makes me smile with it’s cheerful colors and fun fold.

The card base measures 6 3/8″ x 5 1/2″ and is scored at the normal 4 1/4″ giving it a fun feel. The focal point is attached on the left card front but hangs over the right inside of the card giving it a fun whimsical feel. And how about this last card and it’s clever use of the Designer Series Paper?

The Light Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (159535) has been trimmed along the scallop in the pattern to create the stage curtain and a piece of vellum has been sponged to create the spot light. So fun.

Cup of Christmas

Any one who knows me knows I can’t resist a coffee cup, I’ve been collecting them for years on my vacations, so when I saw the Cup of Christmas Stamp set (150491) I just knew I had to get it. Add the fact that this set includes a NEW type of stamp call Reversibles and you have a winner for this holiday season.

While the stamp set can be used traditionally as is, you can also use the back side of the stamp giving you a mirror image of the coffee cup – such a simple idea that makes stamping mirror images of this cup so easy!

Here are some fun cards made with this Cup of Christmas Bundle (153025). This first one uses our Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper (149596) and the Brick & Motar 3D Embossing Folder (149643).

And how about this next card that uses the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper (149488) as a back drop for this festive holiday mug?

A bit a dazzle has been added to the mug with our Real Red Glitter Paper (150427) and Toile Tiding Glitter Enamel Dots (150433).

And this final card uses the Nobel Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper (149493) for the cup – this foil paper adds a rich glazed feel to the cup.
