Buffalo Check…it’s EVERYWHERE! And it makes a great background for this week’s Falling For Leaves Product of the Week. I like the folk art design of this large leaf, and pairing it with the Buffalo Check Background Stamp takes the edge off the cutesy-ness of it.
And I never in a million years thought I’d make a card with so much Cajun Craze. Honestly, this is one of my least favorite Stampin’ Up! colors. However, I totally love this card! I may become a Cajun Craze convert after all.

I didn’t think I liked this stamp set all that much and then I see this card and think “hummm, this card is really cute”. It’s like when you see something on the hanger and you don’t think much of it and your friend says “just try it on”
I love your analogy. It’s exactly like that!
Such a beautiful card, love the fall season and it’s colors.
It’s good to hear from you, my friend. I’ve been thinking of you all weekend. Did you have to evacuate from the storm?
I felt the same way about this set. Was not impressed, then saw what people did with it…and it moved to the “must have!” list! 😊
The large leaf and sentiment are my favorite in this set.
Love the buffalo check! Again, not one of my “must-have” sets until I see what you do with it!!
The Buffalo Check stamp is great!
So cute and simple! I love the crumb cake card stock and that classic weave ribbon adds the perfect touch!
The Classic Weave Ribbon is a great neutral ribbon choice.
Just when I think I don’t need that stamp set, you make another beautiful card. I really like the background on this card.
Thank you, Sarah.
Love the background stamp. So many uses! Lovely card.
Thank you, Pam.
