Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves ~ Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome to my blog!  I'm so happy to be joining the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop today.  I love being a part of these fun hops with other stampers sharing what we love and create!  Links to all the other blog posts for this hop are near the end of this post - be sure to check them out!  Hopefully you will be as inspired as I always am seeing what everyone else creates for this month's challenge. 


This month's challenge was a new Tic-Tac-Toe board!  These used to intimidate me more than other challenges, but not so anymore. Now I find a fun choose-your-own adventure type of challenge where I can pick whichever row sparks my creativity!  For this one, it was a tossup between the top row and the middle column.  I really wanted to use my alphabet dies, so ultimately decided on top row. 


Fall ~ Autumn Leaves Stamps & Dies
Clear ~ Window Sheets
A-B-C ~ Mini Alphabet Dies and Alphabet A La Mode Dies

I found that Stampin' Seal was best for adhering the cardstock to the Window Sheet. However, for the letters I used the Adhesive Sheets for 'HAPPY' and Foam Adhesive Sheets for 'FALL'.  The trick to using these sheets is that you have to remember to place them on the back of your cardstock BEFORE die cutting. 


For the inside I had a bit of a silent debate on where to put the stamped leaf.  In the end, I decided to keep it in the top portion that was attached to the card.  I didn't want to risk it showing through the white cardstock AT ALL.  I did stamp off before stamping the two-step leaf stamp. 


As I said before, my card was inspired by the top row of the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, but it was also inspired by a fun card I saw on Pinterest a while back. (I think by Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Meg Loven) This is such a fun way to use Window Sheets, I had to try it!
