Fall is in the Air!

I'm thinking fall over here with this adorable squirrel and fun embossed pattern.  This cute digi stamp is from Kit and Clowder; Alyce is so kind to give out free images!  Be sure to follow her FaceBook page to be included!


I used a somewhat heavier vellum and ran it through a 3-D embossing folder for my front.  The layering piece is inked with various orange inks from CTMH.  Before adhering my squirrel, I splattered gold.

For the inside, I used a couple of different CTMH stamps and the upper border is a scrap that was done with inks.  

Have you ever wondered about the Offset Function in Cricut Design Space?  Check out the video below to learn how I use it on almost every project!  Yes, I did use it designing this card a couple of times!  ;)
