Autumn Meadows Thanks

Here's a project that I came up with last fall for my "Secret Stamping Sister:" 

This project uses the now retired, SU Autumn Meadows Designer Series Paper, Chocolate Chip card stock and a series of dies and other embellishments. The sign base was created with On Board chipboard using a Sizzix "Album Cover & Pages" die.  The die is normally used as a mini scrapbook, but I thought it would be fun to make a sign out of it.  The letters were cut from Alphabet Simple Letters Stampin' Up! Bigz Die and the leaves from the Little Leaves Stampin' Up! Sizzlits Die.  I used SU's My Digital Studio software to create the words "Thoughtful, Heartfelt, Appreciative, Nurturing, Kind and Sincere" in a script font and punched them out with the Modern Label punch.  I punched a few extra holes using my Crop-a-dile and then tied it all together with 1/4" Choc Chip Grosgrain ribbon.

Here are a few close up shots:

Thanks for looking,
