Control Freaks Happy Fall, Y'All!

It's coming up on that most wonderful time of the year - FALL - and the Control Freaks are celebrating this month with Autumn-y goodness! Sweater weather, pumpkins, colorful leaves, hearty soups; you name it, I'm ready for it! This month's tour has twelve stops, so you may have just landed here from Connie Babbert's blog, Inkspired Treasures (LOVE her style!), or you might be starting here. To make the entire round, just click the link at the bottom of each post and you will end up back here!

I have a couple of cards and a 3D project this time. (Okay, don't FALL off your chair. I do occasionally make something besides cards, lol!) Up first is a sweet card that combines the cozy texture of a sweater, the beautiful colors of Autumn, and a wonderful woodsy background. This one is going to my BFF, who loves this time of year even more than I do! And I do miss her sooo much. Whatever happened to our plans to retire next door to each other?

STAMPS: Sheltering Tree, Thoughtful Banners  CARDSTOCK: Whisper White, Old Olive, Copper Foil Sheets, Watercolor Paper  INK: Old Olive, Peekaboo Peach, Pumpkin Pie, VersaMark  ACCESSORIES: Big Shot, Leaflets Framelits, Bunch of Banners Framelits, Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF, Woodland TIEF, Heat Tool, Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder, Aqua Painter, Linen Thread

You can't really see the copper embossing and copper foil strip on this, so I took an angled shot so it would show better.

For the next card, I combined the pumpkin and greeting from Jar of Haunts with the Spooky Fun bundle and built a cute little Halloween scene. Love the spooky script on the greeting!

And last up is this elegant gift box. The colors in the Petals & Paisleys Specialty DSP are so warm and cozy, and paired with gold make a striking little box. They say presentation is everything, right? BTW, I'm having a blast making little tassels! Those heat embossed and die-cut leaves are from the (still available!) Thoughtful Branches bundle.
