Double Oak Leaves Fall Card

Take my previous Fall card design, turn the leaves the opposite direction, change up the embellishment, add a strip of DSP... and you have today's card.  Ta Da! 

I have stacked tow of our gold metallic buttons again for the embellishment, topped with a few sprigs from our burlap ribbon.  Stamped leaves on the envelope tie everything together.

I've added a layer of Crushed Curry over the Mossy Meadow card base.

Same technique...

Double Buttons, Double Leaves Fall Card

How about another beautiful Fall card today?  I love the text on this one.    

I played around with my embellishment, stacking up TWO gold metallic buttons, then adding bits of frayed burlap ribbon.  Our Liquid Tombow holds it all together easily.

My color story:
Cajun Craze
Crushed Curry
Mossy Meadow
a touch of BlackBerry Bliss

These were made with the same technique as in my previous post.

Falling Leaves Card

It's a dreary day here, threatening to be a little wet and soggy.  That makes for a challenge in puppy training.  Let's brighten things up with a pretty Fall card.  I designed this one with the look of falling leaves in mind.

I used marker to give the greeting two colors.  All my colors are based on the color story in the Color Me Autumn DSP, as I had all those colors out making my Fall cards.  I added some speckles with gold ink.

I stamped the leaves to remind you of the wind blowing the falling leaves.  I sponged the wooden leaf to color it.  I really like how this one turned out.

My new puppies love walking in the leaves in our yard.  While they're enjoying it all, I keep studying the colors and textures of the leaves, getting new inspiration every time I'm out there, even when they're a bit soggy on days like today.  Have a beautiful and a blessed day.

More Burlap Leaves

I spent a few wonderful hours Saturday evening with my sweet Olive Jane.  The text today is in her honor... Grateful For You.  I love that little girl!

Another Fall Card with Some Special Touches

Here's another card I made using the design I shared here.  On this card, you'll notice some special leaves.  I made them myself, to add some special touches to my card.

I added a few gold speckles, for some added textures.

The inside is prettied up, too, with just a couple of special touches.

So now you're probably wondering how I made the leaves.  Come back for my next post and I'll tell you all about it.

Hello Fall Card

We have a fun new stamp set and I've been playing with it a lot as I have fun making up some new Fall card creations.  This one features stamping and embossing and a familiar design.

It only takes a 1" strip of DSP to make the inside really look pretty.  I always add a white or vanilla to the inside of cards with a dark card base, so you can see your message on it.

Can you see the gold embossing?

I embossed a coordinating envelope, as well.

Did the card layout design look familiar?  Come back for my next post and I'll tell more about this layout, as well as the one I used in my previous post.
