Happy Birthday Stampin' Up!

Tuesday Tip
Back again for another Tuesday Tip. I have several customers who have purchased the wonderful Farmhouse Christmas Suite. The tip for today is concerning the fence die from this set. This die cuts best when it is run through the machine in the vertical position. The pressure from the rollers is more even in the direction across the length of the die. The photo shows the position in relation to the die.
Have a great day!

Tuesday Tip
Hi! Welcome back for another Tuesday tip.
Today's tip is concerning a punch that may not be punching as cleanly as it has in the past. The good news is that it probably just needs to be sharpened. This is much easier than it sounds as the easiest way to sharpen a punch is by punching through aluminum foil. Yep, that's right.

I usually take a piece and fold it in half and punch through two layers at a time, maybe three or four times. It may take a few more times but this is what has worked for me in the past.
Have a great day!

Masculine Card with a Fall Scheme
Happy World Card Making Day!
Today's card is more masculine with a fall scheme. I struggle a little with masculine cards but this one came out better than I originally thought. This would also make a great sympathy card by changing the sentiment.
The 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base is Soft Suede. The DSP is Nature's Poem cut 2 x 5 1/4 attached with snail. The Cajun Craze layer is 2 3/4 x 5 and was embossed with all three of the embossing dies in the Nature's Roots thinlits. I aligned all three on one end of the paper and ran through the Big Shot. Then turned the paper, aligned again and ran through just to far enough to emboss the other end. This layer was also applied with snail. The stitched piece is Mint Macaron and was die cut with the Farmhouse Framelits. The sentiment was stamped in Cajun Craze ink on a Whisper White scrap and then cut to about 1 1/4 square. The ribbon is actually the Braided Linen Trim tied in a knot instead of a bow. I used two edges of my dimensionals on each side of the trim to add to the card, then added two more smaller edges either side of the trim to add the sentiment.
Hope you enjoyed today's share and thanks for visiting.

Hello Card
It's time for another card share.
The embossing folder I used for this card is in the Holiday Catalog. It is called Tin Tile and has so many uses. Stunning results when used with metallic paper but I kept this one simple.
Started with the standard card base of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in Blushing Bride. The Tin Tile layer is a layer 4 x 5 1/4, also in Blushing Bride. It was then sponged with Blushing Bride ink and added to the card with dimensionals. The Pearlized Doily is attached with Tombow glue in the middle where it is hidden. The Smoky Slate strip is 3/4 x 3 also attached with Tombow. The Hello (from Varied Vases) and label (from Label Me Pretty) were stamped in Smoky Slate ink on Whisper White and punched out with the Pretty Label punch and added with dimensionals. Add a few Artisan Pearls and you have a card ready to write a message inside and send to a friend.

New Home Card
This card was created with a Christmas set, "Farmhouse Christmas" but using it in a different way. I find it important for me to be able to find other uses for my stamps and dies other than then what seems to be the intention.
I started with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base in Basic Gray and ran the front through the Subtle embossing folder. DSP was cut at 3 3/4 x 4. Stitched Shape oval was cut from Smoky Slate and embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. Fence was cut from Whisper White. House was stamped with Memento Black and colored with light and dark Smoky Slate Blends and a little Crumb Cake light for the porch and then cutout with the thinlit. Congrats was also stamped with Memento Black and cut out with the banner from the Takeout thinlits. DSP and oval were added with Snail, fence with Tombow glue just in the middle and the House and sentiment banner were added with Dimensionals.
