Paper Crafting Ideas

I have been using a lot of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, but I always seem to go for the traditional fall colors, so today I am challenging myself to use one of the other colors. I decided to go with the Seaside Spray and the Melon Mambo. I am using the Beautiful Autumn and Quite Curvy Bundles, the Country Home stamp set and squares from the Stitched Shape Dies. A little birdie told me to do it! (hee hee)

I used the Seaside Spray, Crumb Cake and Flirty Flamingo blends to color in the birdies. The leaf and the acorn is stamped with Sahara Sand and Cinnamon Cider. The greeting from Country Home is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. This is the stamp that I cut apart and today I am using the part I removed for the inside greeting!

I think it would look sweet to stamp a few birdies on the inside too! I really like the softness of this card and even though it is not traditional fall colors, it works! I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful today. Feel free to email or snail mail me your creations, I would love to share them with others! As always comments are always welcome! Until next time, be blessed!

I just love a beautiful fall day and that is exactly what we had here yesterday. But as they say in Mary Poppins, the winds are a changing and I think today we are in for some much cooler weather. But hey, after all it is November.

My card today is a little fall fun on the diagonal to celebrate all the colorful changes of the seasons. I began with a Pretty Peacock card base and added a matching diagonal accent using the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. I added a small strip of Bumble Bee cardstock and then followed the diagonal with some leaves and acorns from the Beautiful Autumn Bundle.

I stamped the greeting from County Home in Pretty Peacock ink and yes, I actually cut my greeting to separate “Simply Thankful” from “For All Good Things”. I love both of those greetings, but I do admit I use the Simply Thankful a lot! The leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie and Bumble Bee. The acorns are stamped in Cinnamon Cider.

For the inside of my card I added a piece of Very Vanilla, stamped the greeting in Pretty Peacock ink and added a few leaves and acorns to the bottom corner. I really love this fall set and have made tons of cards. I am really hoping it carries over to the annual catalog this summer. Let me know what you think of this set!

Now here is a real picture of my backyard! While it is so pretty those fall colors, I am not looking forward to racking! YIKES! Thank for stopping by today. Feel free to leave a comment ! Until next time, be blessed!
