Here's more about my project:

For my banner, I started with the Art Textures stamp set. I wanted to create some background interest and dimension. I used a super thick embossing powder with the textured stamp.

Next I chose some word phrases and an image from the mix it up stamp set series. I stamped some of words with Memento ink and others I heat embossed. Again, I was just trying to create some interest for the background. 

I cut the word 'home' with my Cricut Stamped cartridge and attached them to my banner. To link it all together, I found some twine that I thought really drove home my fall theme.

For my wooden embroidery hoop, I used the same patterned paper that I had used for the word 'home' in my banner. I wanted to create a simple message around the pumpkin from the Fall Mix it Up stamp set. I chose 'laughter & love' from the Winter Mix It Up stamp set + 'from our home to yours' from the Holiday Mix it Up stamp set. I heat embossed everything with a fine black detail embossing powder.

Have you ever used your stamps to make home decor?
