Gently Falling Birthday

Gently falling

I designed this card with Darlingman’s birthday in mind.  It ended up with a little too much froufrou, but I gave it to him anyway! He didn’t seem to mind the girly touches.

This card had a lot of steps, but nothing very difficult. The two step set makes it easy to create the leaves, by just sponging  the additional colors directly on the base stamp and then stamping the outline image over the top. Love, love, love this spice cake designer paper!

Harvest or Thanksgiving Blessing Mix


This is another project we did for stamp camp this month. We used the little brown paper bags from the Holiday mini catalog to present a gift of Harvest Blessing Mix. We have done this with a cello bag and topper in the past, but the harvest mix was the first thing I thought of when I saw these little bags! This is also called Thanksgiving Blessing Mix.
Harvest Blessing Mix
We stamped a quick tag using the new Decorative Label punch and sponged a couple of leaves from the Autumn Splendor set. The blessing mix ingredient list was printed off on the computer and attached to the back of the bag. You can find the printout with the recipe for the mix and the ingredient label here.

Enjoy!

Season of Friendship

Season of Friendship

This was one of the fall cards that we made at Stamp Camp last week. I love the little owl from the new Aviary set and thought he would be too cute with this set! The Top Note die atop a simple layer or two is a great go to design for a quick and easy card. Just simple stamping on this one, but the colors are so rich it really grabs your attention. Love the new Cajun Craze!

Harvest Home

I made this card for a challenge over on a new challenge blog that is just starting up called SUO Challenges. There are a ton of challenge blogs out there and they are designed to get your creativity flowing. When you challenge yourself in ways outside of your normal style or comfort zones, you will be amazed at how your confidence in designing your own cards will flourish. I have played along with challenges before, but this is the first time I have actually posted to a challenge blog. Usually, I start a card, but before I can finish it the deadline has passed! This is a new design blog and I recognize and admire many of the design team members. The challenge is to make a fall card. That was easy since I am in fall mode right now!

Thanks for stopping by!
