More Than Autumn Gift Card Holder

December 30, 2024

It’s not too late for a bit of pumpkin spice before the year ends! We made this fun gift card holder in an earlier class, but I never got to show you! It’s made with the More Than Autumn Bundle which is in the September – December 2024 Mini Catalog that ends January 6th.

More Than Autumn

More Than Autumn Bundle

This bundle has SO much to offer for fall, Christmas, or anytime of the year. I mean, when isn’t a good time for coffee and doughnuts?!

The Inside

This card begins with a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of cardstock (that’s half a sheet cut vertically). Then, it’s scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. Use a punch or die to cut a half circle on the end of the small panel and adhere the edges to make a pocket for your gift card. Note: You may need to trim a tiny bit off the end that you’re punching so that it folds nice and flat.

Changing Leaves

November 14, 2024November 13, 2024

It’s been a very warm fall here, but the temperatures are finally cooling off and leaves are coming down. I love the beautiful colors, but Steve doesn’t like all the work they bring. We live in the country and back up to woods, so we have plenty of leaves.

Changing Leaves Card

We made this card at a recent card class. Even though the picture looks like it has some yellow, that is really a gold foil strip under the greeting and gold sequins. It just doesn’t show up well on camera.

Changing Leaves Bundle

This is a lovely three-piece bundle. It has a stamp set and dies, but also includes a Hybrid Embossing folder. If you aren’t sure what this is, it’s an embossing folder that has a die that will fit inside, so you can cut out the leaves and emboss them at the same time.

It makes the bundle very versatile, as you can use the dies alone, with stamps or with the embossing folder, and you can use the embossing folder with or without the die.

This bundle is part of our OnLine Exclusives, so you won’t find it in any catalog.

Inside

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card to add some lovely detail.

Detail

As you can see from this detail shot, I added some of the die cut leaves, a linen thread bow, and gold sequins to finish off this card.

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2023

It’s been a busy few days here at the Moss Home. We always host Thanksgiving for Steve’s family. It’s a lot of work, but it’s always great to get together. Whatever you’re doing for the holiday, I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

From Our Family to Yours

Here’s a picture from last year’s Thanksgiving and a picture of our set up this year.

Autumn Leaves

I thought I’d share a pretty fall project with you today. This one is really pretty easy and uses the Autumn Leaves Bundle. It’s perfect for today.

Instructions

First, cut a Blackberry Bliss card base to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches and score at 4 1/4 on the long side to make your card base.

Next, cut a Very Vanilla panel to 4 x 5 1/4. Stamp the large maple leaf around the edges in Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss inks. Attach panel to the card base.

The Details

Cut a piece of Natural Ribbon, shred the ends a bit and attach to the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Stamp greeting in Blackberry Bliss on a scrap of Very Vanilla and cut with the coordinating label die.

Cut a piece of gold foil using the narrow banner die. Snip in half and attach to the back of the label and attach over the ribbon using Dimensionals.

Embellish with gold sequins.
