And fall is a wonderful time to grow all kinds of vegetables and flowers. Unfortunately, I have a brown thumb and whatever survives in my garden is despite my valiant efforts! But I keep trying. Fortunately though, I can make fall cards, and I love doing it. I had one more unopened “fall” Paper Pumpkin kit […]
Fall colors, fall leaves, fall weather and more card ideas
Continuing with my fall theme and making fall cards, here are a few more ideas from Stampin’ Up!’s annual and holiday catalogs. And some beautiful cards from this bundle: The “Rooted in Nature” bundle is gorgeous and works for many seasons, but particularly nice for fall when combined with the Nature’s Poem DSP. Be sure […]
Nature’s Poem has beautiful fall leaves
I got this paper, but wasn’t sure I’d really like it. Yes, I do that a lot, especially when Stampin’ Up! has their designer series paper sales. It turned out, I now love this paper! This is my first card with it, but I already have several others planned with other pieces of the DSP! […]
How do you make a 3×3 cards into regular fall card?
Actually very easily! The Paper Pumpkin “Layered Leaves” September-2017 kit supplies were for eight 3″x3″ cards and matching envelopes to accompany a matching gift box. But what if you didn’t need 3″x3″ cards (they don’t meet the U.S. post office minimum size for mailing..hmm)? Turn them into beautiful regular size cards! That’s what I’ve been […]
Wood Textures just perfect for fall cards!
I’ve had my Wood Textures DSP for quite a while, but haven’t used it yet. But fall colors and cards seemed a great way to use some of that paper. I used two different wood textures to make these full size cards using the Paper Pumpkin “Layered Leaves” from my September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. […]
Oh my, it’s fall already? How about a card to celebrate?
Well, yes and no. September is traditionally the beginning of fall, but not in Texas with our temperatures still in the high 80’s. And we still have to get through hurricane season…September is usually the most active month for Texas bound hurricanes. Fingers crossed that we escape them this year. I decided to pull out […]
Finally finished my Blissful Blooms kit
Well this is it, the final of the 13 cards I created from the August Paper Pumpkin kit (which, if made according to the directions made 10 cards. So I got 3 extra cards)! The first two are the same cards, one was just turned horizontally for a different look. All I added to this […]
Still going strong with Blissful Blooms
You’re probably asking, how many cards are you going to make?? I was wondering that myself, but the ideas just keep coming. Today’s cards were inspired by yesterday’s design. This time I left the card intact, but I cut off the right half vertically and set it aside for the second card. Here’s the left […]
You make me so happy…
That’s how I feel about last month’s Paper Pumpkin kit! It was so easy to create alternative cards with this kit that I still have more to show you this week! Meanwhile, Happy Labor Day to all my U.S. friends…may you “labor” by creating many cards today – LOL! Today’s card I CASEd from Nicole Scholet de […]
