Morning , Happy World cardmaking day to you all! This is gonna be a long post so please grab a cupper!
First of all i would like to share with you my Sketch Saturday and Sweet Stampin Card using the new Gorgeous Elisabeth Bell 'First leaf of Fall' stamp. As usual i have followed Jo's wonderful sketch and this weeks challenge over Sweet Stampin is ' Punch it out'
I have used various Stampin Up circle punches and the SU distressing tool to make the flowers.
D/P is DCWV. I have stamped the leafs several times as though they are being wind swept.

My favourite tips:
I have had alot of emails asking me for tips regarding Sewing onto cards. So my top tip for getting a nice straight sewn edge that joins up from corner to corner is this.
Poke a hole in each corner of the c/s you would like to sew onto.
As you get to the end of the c/s position the needle to go through the pierced hole,(so you don't go over where you want it) , that's how I make sure my stitching is straight and meets up at each corner.

My other top tip would be Distressing, this is also a common question.
What do I use?
The simplest way to achieve great distressing is to use the side of your Hobby knife, scrap it against the card until you have your desired distress look. OR the Stampin Up distressing tool attached to the cutter kit is also a fabulous investment to achieve perfect distressing every time!
There is more to see at the following wonderful blogs, hope you enjoy the hop!

Hi Emma. I'm sharing a lap top with hubby but he is hogging it and I'm not getting to my blog! You have made some lovely creations though whilst I have been competing for some keyboard time. Great design on this one and I just loved those little Anya cards when I first saw them and still love them now! Warmest wishes, Lesley
