Non-traditional Simply Leaves for fall

All fall leaf cards don't need to be red, green, yellow, rust in colour! Today's card features the Simply Leaves Stamp Set and this soft colour palette of Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Smoky Slate. There are 2 sizes of leaves in the stamp image options. The larger one - used in the centre of my card - coordinates with the Simple Leaf Punch if you're so inclined. I like the "simple" and elegant look of stamping it on white cardstock followed by cutting it into 4 equal pieces then layering on black. Really helps make it pop. Enjoy!

Inlaid embossing technique with the Rustic 3D folder

Today's card is my take on the inlaid embossing technique. To achieve this look, either do it the simple way or the simpler way! I chose the simpler way by embossing a piece of pretty designer series paper with a "tight" folder. By that I mean an embossing folder with texture all around and no large open spaces. This gives the patterned paper a flexible and almost fabric look and feel. Opted for the Rustic 3D folder with the Painted Patch paper. Enjoy!

Frightfully Fun White Gable Boxes

Been having a blast participating in the Global Inspiration Stamp Team's Twelve Days of the Holidays (September 1 to 12). Almost halfway through with a different presenter each day. For this weekend, we are each decorating the White Gable Boxes for our chosen holiday. And, I had to choose Halloween with the Frightfully Fun Suite Collection for some spooky cool fun.

Just Do It: Send birthday wishes

It's birthday week! The week when I look through my list of friends and family celebrating birthdays this month and send out cards. Big month! Do you send birthday cards in the mail? I really like to. It's so nice to open the mailbox and find a handwritten card that says, "I'm thinking about you on your special day!". If you're a card maker, I hope you join me in spreading happy birthday greetings this month.

Simply Leaves starting to drop

We're nearing the end of the first week of September and I'm wondering if the leaves have started to drop in your neighbourhood? It's a sure sign of the change of seasons coming, isn't it? For today's project, I've opted for a sprinkling of the Simply Leaves punched shapes in coordinating colours with the leaf veins stamped on. This card is a standard size and WOW! So many of these punched leaves adorn the front layer! It's a simple and simply beautiful layout. Enjoy!
