“Happy Fall Y’all” Blog Hop!

Hello crafty friends ...

I was excited to be invited as a Guest Designer for this "Happy Fall Y'All Blog Hop" by Scrap 'n Stamp. Anytime I have an opportunity to share and promote a Canadian company I'm happy to do so, and I have been a customer at Scrap 'n Stamp for several months now. 

This Blog Hop is going to be fun - and there is a chance to win a prize!! More information on that in a bit. 

If you prefer to see the card in action and hear all the details, I have a walkthrough of my card on YouTube! That video can be found HERE.  

Box cards like this can sometimes take a long time to create so I wanted to do a simplified version for you. As I showed in the video, I was able to cut 24 stitched leaves with only two passes through my die cutting machine!  I did ink the edges of my leaves because I prefer that look - but you could easily leave off this step to save time.

Box cards can also be bulky, so I didn't use nearly the foam tape I normally would have for a 'regular' card and that offsets the extra layers of card stock from forming the box.

It's very hard to see in the photos, but I adhered some tiny clear star confetti around the card and they catch the light and are SO pretty! Why stars? The colours of this card reminded me of a beautiful twilight where you can sometimes see stars in the sky even before it gets totally dark.

I didn't add a sentiment to the panel on the back, as that is where I will write a note and sign our names. Still, I added a few of the die cut leaves and tucked in the stamped Wishbone for good measure.

I used Chameleon Color Tone markers to colour the racoon!

Now for the prize information ... 

We are randomly selecting a winner for a $50 gift certificate. The name will be chosen from comments left on the blogs (each blogger will select a name, then a winner will be chosen from those names).   

Note - Saturday is World Cardmaking Day so there will be tons of great products on sale at the Scrap 'n Stamp online store 20-50% off!
