Video: January Online Class Featuring Sheltering Tree Stamp Set--Week 4

 As of today, my blog silence is officially over.  I have been racing against the clock to get my taxes organized and mailed to my accountant before the US Postage rate increase on Sunday.  Added to that, our local post office is not open on Saturday so my clock was racing toward 4:30pm today.  I am happy to say I met my goal and my paperwork is on it's way to my accountant (the one we've used for almost 20 years--she still lives in the state we lived in years ago) and I can now resume card making and creating.

I don't know about you, but when I begin creating, sometimes it takes over my brain space and things like tax papers get pushed to the back.    This week we are doing a fall themed card using the Sheltering Tree stamp set.  The tree scene is stamped on a piece of Whisper White cardstock that is the back of a shaker box.  Not only are the leaves stamped in different colors falling off the tree, the sequins also represent falling leaves.  They are leftover sequins from a previous Paper Pumpkin kit.  I love how there are generally extra elements in the Paper Pumpkin kits that can be used to embellish even more cards in the future

his card also uses elements from the Rooted in Nature suite  Nature's Poem DSP is used for layers on the front of the card.  There are also leaves both embossed and cut out with the BigShot and the Nature's Roots Framelits Dies.  I was so excited to use my favorite new product from the Occasions catalog (Rectangle Stitched Framelits dies) to make a fun frame for the shaker window.  Check out the video to see how I used washi tape to help keep the rectangles equidistant to make a frame.
