It almost feels like fall, Paper Players #508

Paper players has a wonderful color challenge for this week, great fall colors, and I had fun with it.
Check it all here here.

I started out using Very Vanilla for my base card, then a piece of Pretty Peacock that I used one of our new narrow embossing folders on. The set is called Meadow Moments.  The new folders fit in the brand new (so new that as of right now, it's not available just yet.) small sized cut and emboss machine. It is made just like the full sized one and I think it has a big wider mouth then any of the other small ones out there.
I just love how the leaves come down the side, then have a few dots and a leaf here and there further in. 
I used Positive Thoughts stamps, Natures thoughts dies and Season of Layers dies (retired) for all my leaves and feather and butterfly. I used silver foil for one of my leaves as well as the shape cut with VV on the top with the sentiment.  A few rhinestones and I was done.

I hope you enjoy, I sure had a good time making it.

Fun Fall card for GDP102, Count Your Blessings

I thought about doing Christmas for this weeks GDP challenge, but I just am not in the mood to go full on Christmas just yet.  Pretty soon though, and of course I've gotten some sets and done a couple or so already, but it's over 100 here in AZ still so I'm really in the mood for fall, might take another month, but a girl can dream, right?

I had a strip with 3 of these embossed, watercolored leaves  from a previous class project, so I decided to make use of it and cut one out with my Stitched Shape Dies.  The 2" punch was the perfect size to put a small bit of  Soft Suede around it. 

I love the sentiment, and the font is darling!  I've been waiting to use it on something. It comes from the Count My Blessings set.
 I also splattered my white CS before putting anything else on it.  The little cut out leaf is from the same set, Colorful Seasons, but from the matching die cuts, Seasonal Layers Thinlit Dies.  It's a fabulous set that will take you all through the year.

Go here to see what everyone made, and maybe enter the challenge yourself.

Stampin Up Fast and Fabulous card for Sept 25

Ok so, usually I try to make it doable in 10 min, and this one may, just may take 15. But honest, it's pretty easy and fun. 
I finally got Lovely As a Tree, the stamp set, not sure why I waited so long, they are so  versatile.

This stamp is just one small part of it. To get the fall leaf look I tapped ink on the stamp, starting with the lightest color. So, I have Crushed Curry, then Pumpkin Pie, and finally Old Olive. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. But I did try it about 4 times to end up with the best one.

Other then that, I just used the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder on Baked Brown Sugar and then sanded it down some.   I used Very Vanilla Seam binding to soften the look and the oval framelit which sized out just perfect for my leaves.

The Banner Greetings (Hostess set) finished it off.

I have seen so many different ideas using this set. And for all seasons as well.

Banner greetings is a hostess set. Remember, you don't have to have a workshop to get hostess credits. All you have to do is bring your order total to at least $150.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you got some inspiration from this.  If you should want to check out promotions, download catalogs or shop,  click HERE

 I kept my card clean and simple, colors used are Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Perfect Plum and Wild Wasabi.
I used the Stripes embossing folder for the first Perfect Plum layer. Then I cut a 2 1/2" circle from Soft Suede and inked the edges in Pumpkin Pie. I punched out 7 large ovals and a green piece from the Sizzlits Little Leaves die. 

I used Crumb Cake Seam binding for the ribbon. I really love the seam binding, it's so soft easy to work with. 
Sentiment is from Petite Pairs, and I added some dots of Dazzling Details.
