Sorry, this post is a little late this week... enjoy!
Hello and Happy Sunday Monday! This week we are sharing fall-themed cards over on the Sisters in Stamping blog. I have several friends with October birthdays, so created two different cards featuring the Rustic Harvest DSP from the Holiday catalog. I love these patterns and check out how totally different these cards are!
Don't you just love this DSP? It is in the Holiday catalog and is perfect for your Fall projects. Please click any of the images above to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code 9D2TRR97 with your online order at checkout through September 30th).
Here is the first card - don't see the colored leaves DSP in the product image above? That is because this is a black and white paper and I colored the different leaf images with Stampin' Blends markers: Cherry Cobbler, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie. I added some fun texture with the Gingham embossing folder used with the Crushed Curry card stock and the Natural Woven ribbon in the top corner that I tied in a knot. It doesn't really show in the images, but I also used a Wink of Stella glimmer brush to add some shimmer and shine to the leaves and "colored" in the birthday letters on the punch. The friend for whom I created this card doesn't like the mess of glitter, so this way she will get some bling without the mess. I hope she likes it as much as I do!
For this card I was going for more of a masculine feel. I really let the pumpkins pattern shine as the focal point of the card.
Wondering what ribbon I used on the punch? That is actually a very thin strip of mossy meadow card stock that I used to make a knot. In order to do so, I had to first break the fibers using my bone folder. It adds the perfect touch, don't you think? I also colored in the birthday letters using a cajun crazy stampin' write marker. For the inside of the card, I added a small strip of the DSP from the front of the card. I really love how this one turned out!
Here's one more look at my cards. Which is your favorite? For even more fall card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.
