FALL CARD - GIVE THANKS FOR THE COOLER WEATHER!!

HEY BLOGGIES,

We have had a bit of "cooler" weather.  That translates to LESS THAN 100 degrees in the day and gets WAY DOWN to the low 80 degrees at night.  But for us here in central Texas, that IS COOLER.  hee hee

Today I have a fall card, the first one of the season for me.  I LOVE fall colors--oranges, yellows and golds, browns.  I added just a touch of some Halloween Candy Corn paper in the background because I wanted to give it a bit of whimsy.

 Pumpkin pie and black card stock were used with a kraft tag.  I sponged soft suede, pumpkin pie, always artichoke and hello honey ink onto the tag before I attached some die cut leaves and the pumpkin, which were stamped first onto DSP.

This closeup of the tag shows my sponging and rock-n-roll inked images stamped.  I drew the pumpkin vines with the fine tip of my Stampin' Write Marker.  The Give Thanks sentiment is from Good Greetings.

Some bakers twine was added to the top of the tag and a black layer behind the card front was added.  I cut the corners of the card to match the top corners of my tag embellishment.

Here is the sketch from SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY I used to make my card:

Thanks for stopping by.  Hop over to see what my other design team members have created with this sketch, won't you?

MY BIG SHOT & DIE CUT FALL WREATH

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have another 'FLASH BACK" POST  to share with you today.  With a new leaf set out in our Holiday Catalog  AND thinlet dies, I thought I would share the one I made two years ago and is on my door starting this weekend:

I also wanted to share a photo to entice you to see this previous post above.

 I chose to use mostly solid cardstock here and then I used my woodgrain embossing folder to create the texture, pattern.

Here is the wreath my friend, Karen P. made at our wreath class.  She used patterned papers in the darker browns and oranges with a touch of green.  She even created a banner to attach with painted clothes pins.  Very nice Karen.

Thanks for stopping by.  If you have any questions, let me know.
