And now for today's sneak peeks! The Baker's Dozen and I are featuring lots of A la Carte stamps and Petite sets today, all illustrated by the talented Nancy McKinney! Here's a rundown of what you'll find as you hop around to all of the blogs linked below: Autumn Wreath, Spooky Wreath, Moka Tabitha, Spooky A la Carte, Fall A la Carte, & It's Your Birthday A la Carte! I decided to focus on the two new wreaths in the seasonal wreath collection originally concepted by Jami Sibley.

I started with Mojo Monday Sketch 205 for both of these cards. For the Spooky Wreath card, I started by stamping the wreath onto Kraft cardstock. I embellished the wreath with Black & White enamel accents and Carrot Smooch and then trimmed it out with the Seasonal Wreath die. To separate the layers on the card I used the fabulous new Spooky Fence border die. All of the patterned paper, cardstock, and embellishments are from the Spooky Project Pantry Basic Recipe & Spice It Up Ingredients.

For the Autumn Wreath card, I started by stamping the wreath in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and coloring it with Copics. I also stamped the squirrel separately and cut him out by hand to sit within the wreath. Again, the wreath was cut out with the coordinating Seasonal Wreath die. The patterned paper is from the new Jillibean Homemade 6 Bean Soup 6x6 pad. And for the borders I used the open scallop border punch and the Spooky Fence border die.

Here are the dies I used on my projects today:
