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!

About Bones

 


My niece is into dinosaurs (who isn't! lol), so I thought I'd pair the 'Bag of Bones' stamp set with the 'No Bones About It' stamp set. I wish the 'No Bones About It' dinosaur stamps had a coordinating die-cut set, so I could use an embossing folder on the background, but the background looks fine plain too.

Seaside Palms

 

I wanted to utilize the 'Thoughtful Journey' DSP (Designer Series Paper) and thought that this sheet reflected an underwater seabed. So, I embossed 'Seashells' unto the front background.
I used the 'Seaside Wishes' coordinating set to create the shells. The "window" is from the 'Garden Gateway' die set.

Thanks for splashing in!

Unbounded Autumn

 

I love the Fall! I also love how this card turned out. Great for my Uncle's 75th birthday!

Beautiful Layers

 


When I saw Jaimie's card from 'Stamp It With Jaimie'... I just knew I had to create one for my sister and her husband for their anniversary. I changed a few things to make it my own, but wanted to give credit to Jaimie for her lovely inspiration and use of the new Neutrals DSP (Designer Series Paper).

Now, I did cut a bit off the Layers of Beauty stamped image, so that it would fit on my card with scissors.

I used Wink of Stella to make the petals shine.

Better Greetings

 


Another niece turning 21! Yikes... where has the time gone! All grown up now!
I chose a simple design of one cocktail instead of many this time... drink responsibly! 
I paired the 'Sip Sip Hooray' sentiment with the cocktail from 'Nothing's Better Than' stamp set. The top 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from the 'Go To Greetings' stamp set.

I added a Wink of Stella to the cocktail to make it shine.

Such a lovely layout and design from Narelle Farrugia!  The flowers are NOT a stamp.... it's part of the 'True Love' Designer Series Paper (DSP). Fun that you can fussy cut the image and then color them in!

I really like the layout on Angie Mckenzie's card. I wish I had the circle die-cut that she has in the picture though. I loosely created my card using hers for inspiration, so thanks Angie!
