It's Fall

 Christine has picked Anything Autumn/Anything Goes for
the current Allsorts challenge. 

 


I went with an offset gate-fold.  I stamped the leaves with an Autumn
Kaleidacolor ink pad and used transdescent embossing powder on
them.  I fussy cut the leaves.  Die cut some layers and my 
greeting and added paper from doodlebug design and a few gems to complete 
my card. The trees have not yet turned these beautiful colors 
but hopefully in the next couple of weeks. 
 
Supplies:
Stamps: 
 Stampin Up Rooted in Nature 
Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips
Dies: 
Pawsitively Pawsome Cross Stitch Flat Bottom Circles 
Lawn Fawn Extra Sentiment Banners
 
Prizes:
2 prizes of Penny Black stamps, stencil and stickers from Buddly Crafts 
 
 
Hope you will join the fun at: Allsorts Challenge blog.

Happy Birthday

 

 I was a one of the winners of an Altenew blog hope for having my name
randomly drawn.  I got a $15 gift certificate and used it for Cupcake mini 
delight, it came with the stamps and dies! I gathered up some
white paper scraps to re-use for lots of die cutting of the cupcake and
"happy" sentiment.  I also used snippets of blue card stock, and
snippets of papers from My Minds Eye .  I used Sweet Sketch 235
for inspiration on the card above. 
 
A few more cards I made:
