Pumpkins in Cloud Cover and Secret Sea? Oh my!

Was going for some non-traditional autumn colours with today's creation: Secret Sea and Cloud Cover on a bed of Basic White. The hues of blue bring to mind how the sky looks during this time of year when thick clouds fill the sky and the sun pushes through. Love this look! Happy to share one of my swap cards designing from the September to December catalogue with Painted Pumpkins. Enjoy! Tip: As we don't offer an ink pad in Cloud Cover, either use Versamark for a lighter watermark look with that stamping OR buy the Cloud Cover ink refill and create your own ink pad using our uninked stampin' spots.

Saying thanks with Painted Pumpkins

Crafting with my Team for our monthly social on September 10 with this card. I’m always drawn to fall images whether it’s pumpkins, squirrels, leaves, you name it so the Painted Pumpkins were first on my list from the new catalogue launching tomorrow. The paper is oodles of fun to play with and includes images that can be hand cut or used with the coordinating dies. And look at that Calypso Coral copper-edged ribbon. Enjoy getting ready for fall!

Beautiful Radiant Sunflowers

Been holding off…but really, I’m ready for fall creating. This was my creation for one of the card swaps I’m in featuring new products from the September to December catalogue. The base is Golden Glow with the Rustic 3D folder – a new must-have. The flowers are from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp and die bundle. I stamped in Pecan Pie (vs black) and carefully coloured in with my Stampin’ Blends so as to not run the colours. This floral spray is die cut out and layered up on a circle cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. To get an easy ribbon accent, I wrapped the Mossy Meadow checked ribbon around the layer and adhered it to the back then added a tied bow with a mini glue dot. Gets my autumn crafting off to a fabulous start!

Arrow card layout with Boutique Blossoms

The arrow card was a hit at Avid Stampers this month. I like to do this one using a smaller pattern – or embossed cardstock – that creates a beautiful base on which to put a matching focal point. These are the lovely Boutique Blossoms dies. These fit right into my crafting jam because I can die cut without stamping and get stunning flowers and leaves. To help them come together on the front, I layered the blossoms and leaves onto a 1 ¾” circle that you don’t even see. Helps get everything together in one go. If the inside triangle is too small for writing your message, add a Basic White layer to the back for more space. Enjoy!
