Hi there! Today I’m excited to be a part of the September Release Blog Hop with Pretty Pink Posh.
I’ve create two project using some of the awesome new September products. My first project features the Thanks Leaf Shaker die.
I created this striped background panel by adhering several strips of solid cardstock together. I stacked four of the Thanks Leaf Shaker die cuts together using spray adhesive to make is more dimensional and sturdy.
This next card uses the Autumn Wreath stamp set & coordinating die.
I embossed the wreath image in clear and blended Altenew inks for color. The sentiment is also from Autumn Wreath and embossed in white onto Neenah Desert Storm yardstick. To finish it off I added a few jewels in Marigold & Raspberry.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

Teri Smith
September 14, 2018 at 8:59 amThanks for the video Laura. Always learn something from you & enjoy your humour too. Just when I think I have a favourite from this release, I see someone use something else & I change my mind. Or, you could say my list grows longer… The Maple Leaf is the symbol on our CDN flag & we have a couple of large maple trees on our property & they are beautiful in the fall. Lots of raking though. 🙁 We also have a huge black walnut tree & it is so funny watching the squirrels up in the tree & on the ground. I don’t know how they remember where they hide the nuts though. Something that makes you go hmmm… Love both of your cards!!
Mary Holshouser
September 14, 2018 at 9:48 amFantastic cards. Love the mix of colors on

on the other card is wonderful.

justMarie
September 15, 2018 at 1:24 amI love all your videos! You and your cards always make me smile. In the quilting world, sewing strips of fabric together like you did with paper is called ‘strip piecing’ and get togethers to work on those quilts are called ‘strip parties’ 😉
