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.
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.
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!
Bringing a pretty card for your viewing today. Lots of layers and embossing beautiful dimension. Tip for getting those angles right: Cut your patterned paper to 3.75 x 5.00 inches. Cut on a diagonal from top left to bottom right. Push them back together on your trimmer and cut again on a diagonal from top right to bottom left. Layer these onto cardstock measuring 4.00 x 5.25 inches. And that's how we get this done!
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.
