Fall Thanks

I have made a Fall colored thank you card with a wonderful new Simon Says Stamp embossing folder, from their new Sugar and Spice release!...

This card came together with amazing ease and brought me such happiness!  I DID mist the cardstock with water before running through my Big Shot.  This embossing folder embosses deeply, the letters and words, and without misting, the cardstock has a tendency to rip a bit at the deepest embossing points.  Misting with water makes the cardstock more supple when it goes through the machine, and thus no tears.  I do use a very thick cardstock, so it might not happen of as much, if you are using a thinner cardstock. It might be best to try out with a small piece of cardstock before using a full size piece of cardstock.  I then went through my cardstock scraps (and a few full size pieced papers), to find some pretty Fall colored papers.  I cut them in strips, and adhered them together on a thinner piece of paper.  I die cut them with the background of the Fancy Thank You die, and then adhered a die cut and layered sentiment to the colored background.  I popped the sentiment up, on the embossed panel, that I had glued to the card,  Here's a clsose up... 

This card was such fun...and wound up being a thank you card for someone who helped me with some very difficult computer problems!!  I hope you are enjoying this new release..this  is such a versatile embossing folder...you could make the background of the thank you all kinds of color for seasons, or holidays, occasions of all kinds...I love it!!  Please take care!!
