{Stamp Simply} Fall Leaves

This card looks like my yard!  It's covered ankle deep in pretty autumn leaves.  Which I love except when it makes my allergies flare up. : )

I started this card by stamping a piece of kraft cardstock with the JustRite Burlap background, and adding a strip of Basic Grey Evergreen patterned paper.  Who says Christmas paper can only be used on Christmas cards??? : )  I added a Doily and then stamped, colored, and fussy cut a number of leaves from the JustRite Fall Applique set.  I stamped my Verve Sentiment on a piece of vellum in dark brown ink and embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder.  I centered it on the strip of vellum so I could attach it by wrapping it around my kraft layer and adhering it to the back.  Then  I attached the whole layer to my card base with 3D Foam.  I added a little bow made of Gold String for some sparkle.

Harvest Hello!

Today I have a fun card from the newly released Stamp of the Month set Harvest Hellos from Clear Dollar Stamps. I used one of my favorite fall color combos - navy and mustard - for this card, and kept it very clean and simple. A couple of notes. I pulled out my mulberry paper to make this card. Do you still have any around? See if you can find it and add it to your next project. It adds such pretty softness to a card! The other thing that I tried for this card was to color my pearls with my copics so that they would match the card. Isn't that fun?? You really need to try it.

Remember, the Harvest Hellos set is FREE with a $50 purchase this month at Clear Dollar Stamps. Yay!!

Hello Kitty

Did you see all the cute cards done with this little kitty from the Patchpal Scarecrow set during the Clear Dollar Stamps previews?? I love him! I decided to use him to look over the word FALL. Isn't it fun that the words fit right inside the circle and scalloped circle punches? So quick and easy! Every month, Laurie, our design team leader gives us the challenge to create some cards without designer paper, so for this card, I took the single leaf stamp and used it to make a border across the top and bottom of the card. I like how it frames the card without detracting from my image.
