How to make a luminary with the hoho paper pumpkin
Here is a card and a luminary alternatives for the hohoho paper pumpkin that I intend to hang off the Christmas tree. The tee light is adhered to by tear and tape. Simply add the tear and tape around the tee light and then cut about an 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch off the end of the crumb cake die cut. Then wrap. I did cut an envelope to make the bands and the handle. You can use the other striped piece from the kit for the handle. The strips are 1/2 inch by 3 inches. I did place 4 strips 2- sides from and back. I covered the seam with the back strip.
The card is embossed with the winter time 3D smaller embossing folder that is made for the mini cut and emboss machine. Worked beautifully and any of these minis could be used. I added the white craft stampin ink on the folder with a dauber.

How to create a slider card from a tag!! 9 of 10 weeks of fall
Here we go after this only one more left and yes, my fall is moving into the Christmas holiday! Has to be only 9 weeks before the Holidays.
Here are two cards that were made from the Santa Express designer series paper the celebrate with tags bundle and the Christmas Scottie stamp set. These are slider tags that were made fairly easily
Materials - A standard card base 2 tags of the tab kind - you will use only 1 1/2 . The slider is made from 1/2 of the one tag The other half with the tabs created the second photo card. You will need two 4 by 51/4 pieces of dsp cut in the diagonal one piece cut top left to bottom right and other cut top right to bottom left of same side. Easier if one side has no direction you will need a piece of white cardstock that is 2 by 3 1/8 - inside peekaboo section with Merry Christmas and snow flakes from the Christmas Scottie stamp set .

#8 of 10 weeks of Fall.How to use treasured kindness for all seasons
Here are some photos of how to change up the treasured kindness stamp set. I hope it helps you with more ideas. The last photo has a video of the card and it’s simple measurements. Video here https://youtu.be/w1NwtGcSeuw
This is the first card I developed. The tree screemed to me Halloween. I used the highly used and enjoyed tear back peekaboo style of card. I simply used the white craft ink pad.
Here is another one that is a fancy fold that I intend to introduce in my 10 weeks of fall. It will be last .

How to make your label fit your card & featuring framed florets
This is #7 of 10 weeks of fall ! So here I have a flip card design using the framed florets. The first half of video is how to incorporate your label and sentiment into your card without it looking like an add on to the card. Example photo below of what was discussed with many more examples on video. Even with the flip card I make sure the sentiment blends in with the card thru masking the snowflakes. 2nd half of video is the card instructions. The Blue card on the left is completely symmetrical i.e. either side can be the front. If that is what you are going for keep images to the right. The white card is not. I kept sentiment on left so only flowers are front of card. Both work but blue on is better.
Cardstock needed : 5 1/2 x6 3/4 - Will be cut and scored *Long side cuts : start and in at 1 1/4 and cut down to 41/4 - do this to both top and bottom . *Short side cuts : start at 1/4 down and over to 2 3/4 - this cut occurs 4x - top- bottom -left -right **Scoring long side from top to 1 1/4 @2 3/4 and 4 Repeat for bottom
