Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers hop for August. This month we are excited to give you a sneak peek at products that will be available from the Holiday Catalog starting on September 1.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog (Chris Slogar) or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

My project showcases some great fall products, primarily the stamp set “Lighthearted Leaves” and the new fall designer series paper “Into the Woods”.

I used some other new goodies, too – the stamp set “Acorny Thank You” and the coordinating Acorn Builder Punch; “Into the Woods” Cotton Ribbon; and “Into the Woods” Elements.  (The Leaflets Framelits that coordinate with the leaf stamp set are already available.)

The front panel of this card is only 2″ tall, and it opens to reveal the greeting.

I started with a Rich Razzleberry base, 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″.  I used my trimmer to cut away a portion of the front panel.  This card type is fun because it’s different, and it gives you a great way to showcase that beautiful paper!  Plus, if you are not inclined to write a lot on the inside of your cards, this is perfect!

I CASEd my teammate Carol Coy’s card, and I want to show you hers, too.  It has been hanging in my craft room, getting rave reviews.  Carol used “Pretty Petals”.
