Autumn Acorns

Acorns--who doesn't love them? When I was in grade school, our campus was a very old high school, and we got to play among all the huge old trees. A couple were oaks, so in the fall we would sit and gather piles of acorns. The boys threw them at each other of course, but I just loved the textures of the acorns in my hands.

This paper, Color Me Autumn Designer Series from the Holiday Catalog, reminded me so  much of those days. See that curled ribbon in Cajun Craze??? It's made from very thin strips of cardstock. Details like that make me happy. And you know I'm a sucker for a stamp set with a matching punch! Merry Everything has a stamp for every fall occasion, and the Note Tag Punch is a lovely shape!

What do you love about autumn?

Scattered Thanks for Club

Because 2 of the Club projects were pretty detailed, I wanted one card that was quick but still dramatic. Thank you, Seasonally Scattered! I love this set! I've loved it since I first saw it. I often need a card I can just stamp and be done, don't you? For this "thanks" card, we inked the stamp in Crushed Curry and then used a sponge dauber and Tangerine Tango ink to add a bit of contrast. Tie some 2-tone trim, add a few leaves (Fall Fun Framelits), and it's done!

Seasonally Scattered has 3 great images:

Don't you love them???

Bits & Pieces Masked Flower Patch

There's quite an autumn feel to the air here, so I better get my last "summery" flower card blogged! This was another leftover from September's Club planning, and it couldn't be simpler. I used an oval framelit to cut a mask for my card front, then sponged Crumb Cake ink through the mask. The flower pieces are from the Flower Patch photopolymer set and the coordinating Flower Fair Framelits. The only stamping I did was the sentiment, from And Many More. Sometimes you just need a simple card, right?

What's under your embellishments???

This is a card we aren't making tonight at Club. :-) It was part of the creative process, though! See those cute little flowers? Underneath them is a splotchy inked edge of the stamp. It never ceases to amaze me that I can still "catch an edge" after all these years of stamping. But that's what embellishments are for! 

I used the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack to cut flowers from Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, and Early Espresso. Then I ran them through the Polka Dot embossing folder for a little texture.

There are no mistakes in stamping, just opportunities for embellishment!
