Stampendous and Add A Little Dazzle Blog Hop Day #1
Welcome to Day #1 of the Stampendous and Add a Little Dazzle Blog Hop! I’m excited that you’re visiting my blog! We have a whole week of Holiday Projects for you along with lots of prizes. Make sure to check out all the details! Today’s project is my first of many this week and the other Designers have inspiring projects for you as well so be sure to stop by!
Fall is my favorite time of year! In our family, when you get married, you are given a Holiday and the whole family (it’s a BIG one!) comes to your house every year to celebrate that holiday. Thanksgiving has been my holiday for the past (almost) 30 years and I love it! When I saw the beautiful Leaf Stamps and matching Leaf Die Cuts, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. Here is the first project using those leaves along with some Craft Metal Sheets. If you’d like instructions, Click here to subscribe to my mailing list for exclusive samples as they will be in my newsletter this month! 🙂
The actual Napkin Ring was created using a strip of Dark Chocolate Metal that was run through the Big Shot in a Woodgrain Embossing Folder and then secured using Sticky Strip. The leaves and ribbon were then adhered on top of it. The Double Bow was created using the “How To Create a Double Bow using your Fingers” Technique – View the Video HERE. 
I think the funky Aged Copper Embossing Tinsel just makes the design! 
Supplies: Stampendous: PenPattern Leaves Set Stamps and matching Leaf Die Cut Set; Aged Copper Embossing Enamel from the Encrusted Jewel Bronze Kit; Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets: – Brushed Bronze, Dark Chocolate, Aged Copper; SU!: Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Crumb Cake Ribbon, Heat Tool, Early Espresso Ink
