I tried a little block stamping. Because I knew that I would be having small squares, I used the smallest stamping block – Clear Block A and ink colors that matched the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper –Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze. (although I goofed and accidentally used Sahara Sand ink instead of Crumb Cake). This is beautiful paper with gold foil accents on several of the papers.
I realized after I cut the squares using my Layering Squares Dies, that the surface of the Clear Block A was just a tad too small and didn’t cover the entire area. You can see where the edges of the block were and I wanted something just a bit larger. So back to creating.
So I re-stamped with Clear Block B and this time did all three of the images from the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set in the same Early Espresso color ink.
And here is my second cardL
But then I decided that maybe it was too much color….so I decided to just be simple:
For this card, I substituted a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock that I embossed with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder for the striped piece of Designer Series Paper. I also finally fixed the ink color….‘this one is stamped in Crumb Cake, you can see that it is just a little darker.

T
he new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be available to order on September 1st! As a Demonstrator, I was able to pre-order one during the month of August. It arrived on Monday….and I can’t say enough good things about it! It’s easy to use, easy, smooth sending the dies and embossing machine through the machine and best of all it folds up so it takes up a smaller footprint on my craft desk….leaving me more room to create! There are also easy instructions right on the base plate of how to make the “sandwiches” for both die cutting and embossing. Plus all the plates are numbered, so there is no confusion of what to use! You can find it in the Annual Catalog on pages 170-172. Presently only the larger Stampin’ Cut & Emboss is available. The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss is not available yet….but it’s coming in the next few months!
