Tutorial:

I designed this card for Our Thanksgiving dinner party we have every Thanksgiving with Family and Friends.
 so I got out my Card stock from STAMPIN" UP! and chose the color I wanted, using the Rust color for the main card I then went to my stash and found the K&Company paper with fall colors with Stripes and Polka dots. I then used my Fall leaf thumb punch and used scrap pieces of fall colors and punched out a bunch of fall colored leaves.I then got My Spellbinder die cutting machine and chose the Classic Scalloped Ovals.   cut it out using my cream color card stock, I folded my card to the size and style I wanted  8"x4"
at the bottom of the front of the card I used my Martha Stewart hand punch "Autumn branches" ( I had to order this on line( @ Amazon ) last year as I could Not find it in any craft stores) I then put the polka dotted paper on the inside of the card.gluing it in place using my glue stick I then used a scrap piece of a light orange paper and printed the Place, Time and Date.using a script design I set it up and printed it out on my Computer. after it was all in place and glued I added the small fall leaves to my card in side and out.On the front of the card I used my double faced tape and put the paper with stripes  in place then added my oval also using double faced tape then added my brown ribbed ribbed again using double faced tape  I used my glue stick on each leaf around the oval in all the fall colors, I added a few flowers and then lastly I added the Stickles glitter glu in rust along the edge of the card covering the Branches.
 I do hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did creating it for Our Friends.Our Family knows we hold all the Thanksgiving meals. This year for "Christmas" We will be going to Jodee & Paul's for an Italian Christmas Dinner.

 Please Note:I did not post the inside of the Card as I feel it gives too much Information, Thank you for understanding.

WHERE TO VOTE

To vote for Rosa Clifford's business in the Matha Stewart American Made Awards, go to this website.

PALM HARBOR --  Cut after cut, Rosa O. Clifford is taking a customer’s picture and creating a custom card.
The artist sketches, creates a template and then cuts and colors the cards by hand. They can take from one hour to a couple days to complete.
Clifford, a native of Colombia, started ROC Paper Scissors 11 years ago out of her Palm Harbor home. She says she hand-made "Thank You" cards for a group of therapists and teachers who were part of an early intervention program helping her son, who was born with Down Syndrome. She says the response was touching.

"They came back to me and said, 'you made me feel so special with this card,' ” Clifford said. “At that moment, I thought I'd want to try and make everybody feel special with something. You’re telling them you’re going out of your way to send a message of appreciation."

From boldness to bling, she says the intricate detail makes the cards unique and personal. Some are portraits of loved ones put on paper.
"It’s something only they understand, but when I put it all together in that portrait, it just brings such a sense of fulfillment that I have really made someone happy and helped them send a message to someone else that they are so precious and loved," Clifford said.

From “Thank You” to “I Do,” some of the cards are whimsical and some are inspirational.
They’ve gotten the attention of more than her customers. Clifford has been on Martha Stewart’s TV show and recently found out she is a finalist for Martha Stewart Living Magazine’'s “American Made Award.”
The finalist with the most votes wins a cash prize and exposure in the December edition of the magazine.
"For years, I’ve always looked at that magazine,” Clifford said. “I can see my cards in this magazine, so we’re a little step closer, I just need votes."

GOD BLESS OUR FIRST RESPONDERS--GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
