A Wish with Clout
I used this card as a make & take at a crop I attended last Friday evening. The ladies loved making it. It is just a very classy card filled with meaning. I hope it will brighten the day of the recipients. We also made this card at my June Stamp Camp.

Autumn Leaves
The peak season for fall leaves came and went extremely fast this year in the midwest. On the day of my October 16th stamp camp, the trees in woods overlooking my deck were stunning. The maple tree in my side yard was absolutely exquisite. A week later, every leaf was gone leaving the branches bare. This card is a beautiful representation of fall leaves. I initially made it for a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator swap held in September and repeated the project at stamp camp. The versatile Woodgrain Embossing Folder and sponging nearly brings these leaves to life—well maybe silk leaves.

Get Well Wishes
More Get Well Cards were needed so I made another batch. This stamp from the Blooming with Kindness set embosses beautifully. The sponging really makes the detail pop.

Paper Piercing Innovations
Stampin’ UP’s new Essentials Paper Piercing Packs are taking paper piercing to a new level. The monthly challenge with my Stampin’ UP! group, Pieces of Heart, was a project using paper piercing. Double whammy; July Stamp Camp card and the monthly challenge! Love it!
Invisible to the eye, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla just a smidgeon smaller than the design unit. The Comfort Cafe DSP strip, Cajun Craze embossed piece and ribbon were all adhered to the Very Vanilla cardstock and then adhered to the Summer Starfruit card base. My customers appreciated this immensely.
Any of the sentiments with the Blooming with Kindness stamp set would be fitting for this stunning card.
