Autumn Party

 

Sometimes it's hard to create masculine looking cards, but with the 'All About Autumn' Designer Series Paper it was relatively easy. I great FALL card too!

The sentiment is from the 'Punch Party' stamp set.

The sentiment die is from the 'Changing Leaves' dies.

The leaves are from the 'Autumn Leaves' dies.

I used the Deckled Rectangles dies on the square dies.

Thanks for taking an extra look!

I saw similar cards on Pinterest using different colored papers and layouts with the 'Vintage Leaves' stamp set and the 'Woodland Textured' embossing folder together. I loved the combination of the two together.... I just needed to create something with both!

The sentiment is from the 'Express Yourself' stamp set.... and the banner die is from the 'Bunch of Banners' dies.

Birthday Front

I do have to admit that this card's layout is not one I created on my own. I found the layout on Pinterest... thanks for the inspiration to create this card!

I used the stamp sets 'Snow Front' and 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' to make this beauty. The colors are muted to create a watercolor look. To achieve this, I stamped the image on a scrap piece of paper before stamping on the cardstock.

Wildlife Greetings

Just purchased the 'Woodland' embossing folder from Stampin' Up!. I loved the technique used of stamping on the embossing folder and then running it through the Die-Cut/Emboss Machine to emboss. So, I just had to try this for myself.

Now, it did take me a few tries to get the look that I wanted. The first one... the deer was in the middle of the panel. Which, would have been fine, but I wanted it offset a bit. The second try... I miscalculated and the deer ended up on the left-hand side. Ha! I forgot the image is reversed from what I stamped/embossed. Anyway... the third time was the charm.

To achieve this, I stamped the deer image onto the embossing folder. Stamp on the side where the embossed part is indented (not the embossed part being above the folder). Next, place your cardstock where you want the deer to show. Emboss as you would normally. Once done, remove cardstock from folder and sponge (I used Crumb Cake) onto the trees to make them stand out a bit from the background.

Huh! I just realized that I embossed the trees upside down. The tiny branches are going downward instead of upward. Weird, because what I thought of as the bottom... the tree trunks get bigger (which isn't the case in real trees!). Well, I'm happy with the end result! I'm sure no one will realize they're upside down....will they?

Thanks for taking a closer look!
