•  Frame it! Stampin’ Up!’s new Designer Frames Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is perfect for showcasing an image OR an oval of Designer Series Paper.  I opted to focus on an oval of the Pool Party Country Pattern from the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper collection.

• Flag it! Give any sentiment flair by flagging the end.  I used the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Family Reunion set.

• Fussy cut it! This beautiful flower is snipped from one of the patterns of Spice Cake.

• Finish with pearls! What could be more perfect than adding Basic Pearls to the Scallop Trim Border!

With the onset of Fall, my thoughts immediately turn to creating  fall cards.  For this week’s Buried Treasure feature, I just had to bring back one of my favorites from September, 2009.  Click HERE to read the original post. It is hard to believe that I crafted this card two years ago for an Our Creative Corner monochromatic challenge.  This is a design that is timeless.

Making It Fresh

• Spice it up with Spice Cake Designer Series Paper!
• Make it “pearl-fect” by adding Basic Pearls!
• Fall in love with it by using the Gently Falling stamp set!
