AUTUMN FRAME

We've got a NEW Challenge Site!  THE PAPER PLUNGE We would love for you to join us and play along with our challenges!  Check out this week's FALL CHALLENGE  #1 and make a card or project and add it to our blog!  We hope we can inspire you and in turn you can share your design and inspire us!

We made a Cascading Card during September's Card Class- which I will share next week. This is what I did with leftover Die Cut Leaves from the Autumn Accents. I LOVED the leftovers! Do you recognize the frame?  I am going to switch out the inserts seasonally! Last month I posted the Winter Frame.

FLOWER PATCH FIELD

This quick card was put together using the Photopolymer Stamp Set Flower Patch.  The smaller flowers in the set are stamped multiple times with 3 colors. The Photopolymer set makes it easy to line up the stems under each blossom and line up the sentiment. 

Stamp Set:  Flower Patch

Ink:  Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Lost Lagoon, Night of Navy

Card Stock: Whisper White, Night of Navy

And More:  Hello Honey Ribbon, Bright Candy Dots

FLOWER PATCH "BE YOU TIFUL"

We just picked up some Yellow & Red Mums and Purple Kale to add to our deck for some Fall Colors as our summer blossoms are fading and dwindling.  I thought the largest flower in the Flower Patch Stamp Set looked like it would layer wonderfully as a mum. There is a bit of fussy-cutting for the layers, but the base flower and the leaves are cut with the Framelits of the same name- Flower Patch. 

Stamp Set:  Flower Patch

Ink:  Crushed Curry, Momento Black, Mossy Meadow

Card Stock:  Whisper White, DSP- Back to Black

And More:  Flower Patch Framelits, Washi Tape- Beach House

WAY TO GO STARBURST CARD

A fun way to acknowledge someone's accomplishment no matter how big or small with a card.  I CASED a card from Dawn Griffith.  She has some fantastic videos that she so generously shares. I switched up the papers and stamp set but followed her dimensions. 

Both Cards were done with the same Designer Series Paper Stack- All Abloom. I LOVE the 2 sided papers and how by just switching them over, you have another fun combo!

Thanks Dawn!

Stamp Set;  Bravo

And More:  Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Pearls, Circle Framelits, 2 1/2" Circle Punch

CASCADING JUNGLE CARD

If you "google" Cascading Card Images, you will be delighted to see all the fun ways to make this card.  I have found several videos with great instructions, so I won't be reinventing the wheel and make a video for this one.  I decided to use Zoo Babies and create a tree as a back drop to house the playful monkeys. Tucked in among the folds are animals and birds and reptiles. I will be making a custom envelope using my Envelope Punch Board. 

Stamp Set:  Zoo Babies

Ink: Smokey Slate, Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder, Tangerine Tango, Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Baked Brown Sugar, Basic Gray, Markers- Garden Green, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black

This card was CASED [aka copied ;-) ] from Calla Lilly Studio . My sister spotted it on Pinterest and wanted a template to make it.  I did my best to oblige!  

I LIKE YOU HOSTESS SET

Last week was my son & his wife's anniversary so I made them this card.  It was fun using my Blendabilities and layering the flowers for a beautiful 3D effect. Offsetting the cut petal layers add to a fuller flower & leaves.

I add this card to Stampin' Celebration! Challenge # 86 . 

This image shows a better shot of the front design cut.  The card base is Blackberry Bliss 5 1/2" x 6 3/8"- scored at 2 1/8". The flower image panel is 3" x 2 1/2".

Use your Stylus Tool to add texture and curl the flower petals.
