Happy Fall

Hi Everyone,

With Thanksgiving coming up on us next week, I thought I would sneak in one more fall themed card.

I began by stamping the Silhouette Branch in multiple fall colors.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut the Pumpkin Pile fully intending to layer it on top of the stamped leaves, but the colors were too similar, and the image got lost.  So, I flipped the card stock upside down and placed the pumpkins in the blank space, which left room for the Large Happy Fall Y'all greeting. 

I added a strip of orange and some green ribbon before attaching it to the gold card base.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Fall!

Plaid Background

 

Hi Everyone,

It's that time of year when I pull out the Woven Plaid background stamp, because it makes the best, fall and winter backgrounds.

I colored and fussy cut my Give Thanks Pumpkin Stack and layered them onto a die cut rectangle.  I took inspiration from it when it came to choosing the colors for the plaid background.  

I also looked to my image for embellishment inspiration and added a ribbon, sunflower and matching fall leaves.

I'm getting excited for Thanksgiving.  Not so much the cooking part, but the eating part for sure!  

Have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving

 

I really love the look of this whimsical pumpkin. 

For my card:

• I used the WOVEN PLAID - 613P stamping it on orange card stock with a darker orange memento ink. 
• Next, I used a Simon Says pumpkin die cut to cut the pumpkin pieces. I then sponged both edges of each of the pumpkin pieces with the same orange memento ink and glued them together.
• I then cut the green stem from a textured green card stock. 
• I added some punched twigs and flowers and finished the flowers with Nuvo drops.
• For the banner I used the 1 LINE HAPPY THANKSGIVING - 841D and pupped it up on dimensionals.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my card this week.

Autumn Cards

 Hi Everyone,

Sadly, the trees where I live are now all bare, but I'm trying to keep all the vibrant fall colors alive by using them on my cards.  

Here is the fourth and final card using some background paper that I made.  You can click here to see how I made it out of one 8 1/2"x 11" piece of card stock.  The stamps I used are:

Filigree Pumpkin

Silhouette Branch

Splatter Background

The sentiment stamp named Season of Thanks Oval, was heat embossed using a glittery powder and colored using regular, non-alcohol based markers. 

This card features the new Gather Hope Thanksgiving Greeting, that was embellished with a couple of little pumpkins to match my embossed background. 

 The pumpkins are from the 4 in 1 Harvest Designs.

 

For more fall goodness, I stamped a border of the Open Leaf and colored them up to match!

Thanks for popping in!
