Halloween Home

I thought I had posted this card already, but apparently I only put it on my Facebook page! This card was inspired by Stampin' Up! Artisan Award Winner Allison Okamitsu. We made it at the October Club meeting, and it was tons of fun! We masked a moon with a punched out sticky note, then sponged Smoky Slate ink everywhere. I like to do a little "inside decorating" when the card base is dark. Here's the simple way we finished this card: 

The bits and pieces of this card are all from the Holiday Home stamp set, which also has beautiful autumn, winter, and Christmas art.

Birthday Acorns--it's only the beginning

Another card made with my favorite pattern from the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper!

We have a large number of birthdays in the next month. Really. A LOT of birthdays.

Sister, great nephew, brother-in-law, niece, brother, sister-in-law, another brother-in-law, another brother, mom, daughter, another daughter and my father-in-law. You thought I was exaggerating, didn't you! (I had to list them in date order to keep track.) It's a big family, and we love it.

I need cards and gift card holders, and you'll be seeing them all here. This card will work male or female, and it went together quickly! The little banners are punched from scraps of the Color Me Autumn DSP. Other than that, it's just a stamp, a bit of layering, and a quick doodle with my favorite pens--the Project Life by Stampin' Up! Journaling pens! Make a quick stack of cards using this layout and your favorite designer paper you've been hoarding!

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???
