Autumn Inspired You’re on My Mind Card

How did we make it to the end of July so quickly…where is Summer going?? Soon Autumn will be here, kids back in school, and cooler temperatures. One of the things I love about fall are the colors. Autumn colors are so deep, rich and vibrant.

One of my favorite suites in the AC is the Sun Prints Suite. The DSP in this suite is in beautiful hues of blue and gray granite. The Nature’s Prints stamp set/bundle is lovely. This is a must have stamp set! The sentiment stamps alone are worth the purchase. I decided to mix up the colors a bit and add a bit of Autumn into the mix.

I used a mixture of colors, shapes, and textures in this card to give it an organic feel. It was fun to incorporate this variety together. You can’t tell from this picture, but I also used some Wink of Stella on the Cajun Craze colored center stamp. It adds a bit of unexpected simmer.

I hope you enjoy this card. As always, Happy Stamping! Donna

Cascading Gatefold Card – Take 2

Hi Everyone! I can’t believe it’s been three weeks since I’ve posted. I have been busy on the blog making some upgrades. I added a page for a card gallery and one for tutorials. I am working on a rewards page. Hopefully it will be unveiled soon.

Today’s card is the cascading gatefold card I promised a few weeks ago. This card was made using the retired Flower & Field DSP, the stamp set and punches are current.

This card is a bit complicated to make, but the end result is worth the work. I used retired DSP to use up some of my old stock. I used the Label Me Lovely and the new Lasting Label SU punches to stamp my sentiments on. Speaking of sentiment stamps. You have got to get the SU Peaceful Moments cling stamp set! I absolutely adore this set! It is so versitile and I love, love the fonts used in the set. The video tutorial on I watched to make my previously posted card was a bit confusing and the finished card was a whopping 5″ x 7″. I wanted a card that would fit into a standard SU medium envelope, so I created by own template with the measurements I desired. Yay, my test template was successful and this card is the end result. I ultimately made a tutorial and template for this card so you too can make it too! The pdf tutorial with template will be in my tutorials page on my blog.
