It's Fall, Y'all!

 8:34 am today, Sunday it officially became Fall! I'm a happy girl! It's a short post this week as Sharon was taking classes last week including on Wednesday. Mona made a quick appearance on Friday and Sharon had just a few things for us on Saturday. I'm excited to get started.

First up is a photo of Mona's stencil work and a fun twirling card from Friday. I'm sure we'll see a finished card in a future post. 

This is a fun card. Add a string between two layers of a die cut and adhere the string between the top and bottom of two layers of paper with a cut out large enough for your die cut to be able to turn around. To make your image spin, before you close your card, turn the die cut in the middle multiple times. Holding the die cut in place when you are done, close your card carefully. When the card is opened by the recipient, the wound string will quickly unravel, spinning the center die cut. 

Mona also did another postage stamp die as a shaker featuring lots of tiny little spiders that Mona cut out with a die because she couldn't find her clay spider bits, that's devotion!
Sharon's first up was Elizabeth Craft. Sharon thought many of the images on this next stamp set would fit nicely in your Waffle Flower Postage stamp die.

This stamp set and the next one have matching dies for the girl reading in this first set and tubes of paint in the following set. The dies are on the backside of the packaging.

Next up are several new holiday die sets. These first two poinsettia sets can be used independently or together. 
These next few dies can be made into delicate ornaments for your tree or window decor.





This is a great foliage set for winter. Sharon made the card during her show visit to Vegas earlier this year.
The Merry Christmas die and shadow are from Waffle Flower.
Next up is Simple Stories. They have two collections, the. first is Vintage Holly Jolly with slightly muted colors and classic holiday images.
There is a solid pack that coordinates with this above collection.
The other Simple Stories Christmas collection set is Simple Vintage Yuletide, with slightly more traditional colors.
Sharon ordered lots of sticker, ephemera and die cut packs that coordinate with the vintage collections.






Enamel dots finish the collections,
Next are several new fall inspired themes from Spellbinders.


I believe this is an older die but Sharon (and I) think it's too cute to pass up!
Last from Spellbinders is this treat box die. If you look closely you can see the box is held closed by ribbon.
Sharon is showing how easy it is to assemble this treat box. She's adding a bit of score tape to one of he edge flaps. You cut two of the die to create the box.


Sharon assembled this next box earlier and added an extra ribbon to the knot. Jess added these black ribbons to the on-line inventory if you can't come into the store.
Lastly, is a pink papered start that Sharon will finish later.
Sharon's last project for this video is a book created with 49 & Market papers. 



My funny for the post shows me totally agreeing with Snoopy, but no where near as cool.
That's it for me for this week and I'm on there road next week. I'm heading to Orlando next Saturday with my best friend since high school. It's probably both our last visit to the Happiest Place in the World. It will also be the third time we've done Disney together. We're leaving the hubbies home (neither are fans) and we'll be joined by Barb's grown children for part of the time. It will be a challenge to see how well we can manage. We may be looking to rent scooters to get around in our old age! Have a good week everyone, enjoy the cooler weather and the fall colors and don't forget to get crafty and above all Stay Safe!
