NOW...
Let's get started HOPPING !!
For the second day of the Autumn Fun Blog Hop, I decided to do a technique that I just recently learned. It's sort of a combination of a gatefold card and an easel card. When it is closed, it just looks like your standard gatefold card with a belly band.
The surprise comes when you take off the belly band and open it up. Voila!!! Pretty cool, no?
The MFP Stamp Shop set that I used on this card is Scarecrow.
I decided to make a second card today, using a technique to which I often return -- the Side Step Card.
The MFP Stamp Shop sets used on this card are Fall Apples and Lesson Learned.
Now it's time to visit the rest of the hop again. Here's the Design Team:
Lois (that's me)

Lois, both of your cards are beautiful, but the first one really takes my eye. I love when you remove the band you have a easel card. Great job.
Very cool cards, Lois. Nicely done.
These cards look amazing. I really like the way your top card looks. I want to give it a try.
I love Side Step cards and yours is wonderfully "fruity"...hee hee hee :) Hugs...Janie

Yep, that new technique is cool! Love the combination of the gatefold and easel and how you used those scarecrows!
