Falling Leaves So Thankful For You

The rich, warm tones of this color combo and message are sure to warm up anyone's day! I paired our new In Color, Rich Razzleberry with an oldie but goodie; More Mustard. The set I used is our new Falling Leaves stamp set. I like the versatility of this set. It has everything you need to make cards and favors for Thanksgiving plus, if you just want to show your gratitude or say thanks...it can be used all year round. My kind of stamp set! There is also a coordinating wheel that exponentially adds creative options. I used my Big Shot again...I don't know how I stamped all these years without it! LOL! My Big Shot and Lots of Tags created the tag for the focal point of this card. I added a row of More Mustard brads to help anchor the focal point and cement the More Mustard as the base color. The Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot grosgrain ribbon is double-sided, so I took advantage of that and used the solid side to keep it from being too busy and used a hint of the polka dots to add interest and a little punch of white to pull it together with the card base.

FYI Hello Again

Hello Again is a fun little stamp set! This time I paired it with the new FYI stamp set to make this bright card to share in someone's happiness! I also used my Big Shot with Lots of Tags and Perfect Details. Rich Razzleberry pops out from the Razzleberry Lemonade background paper. Enjoy!

All Holidays With In Colors Show Off The Big Shot Top Note

This beautiful card was made by another demonstrator and on the showcase for demonstrators. Dawn Olchefske is the talented demo who made this card. The Top Note Die was used in the Big Shot to get the cool shape for the layer! I'll be showing how to do this at some classes this fall, so you will want to be sure to sign up! She also used new In Colors on this card...can you identify them?

Hello Again Convention Swap

This card is my convention swap! I just love, love, love, the new In Colors and the Polka Dot ribbon! And...I love the new Texturz plates, too! This card is made with the new Hello Again set. It's not a big stamp set...but it's cute and easy to use! You all know how I love those quick, easy cards and instant gratification! LOL! As a side note...I am not actually going to convention...but Stampin' Up! demonstrators are such nice people (I hope you'll agree :-)! and one of them that I have never met is going to be my convention buddy and swap for me and text me all the exciting announcements and buy stuff for me at the memento mall! I sent her some goodies for being such a sweetie!

Correction to Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder Insert

There is an error on the insert for the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions embossing folder (item 114517). The insert instructs you to use Tab 2 on the multipurpose platform with this folder. This is incorrect. You need to use Tab 1 on the multipurpose platform with this folder. If you use Tab 2, your sandwich will be too thick to run through the Big Shot.
Please note that there is nothing wrong with the product itself; the error is on the insert only. The embossing folder will work properly when you use it with Tab 1.
We remind you that you don't need to use much pressure with Big Shot dies. When you insert a die into the Big Shot, the handle should turn slightly. If the handle doesn't move, or if you have to force the die through, your sandwich is too thick and you'll need to adjust it. Forcing a die through the Big Shot with too much pressure can damage your die or Big Shot and void your manufacturer's warranty.
Please share this information with customers who purchased the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions embossing folder.
