Thinking of You

I can’t wait for you all to purchase the curvy celebration bundle, it is so much fun and I love all the different design possibilities. Today’s card was cased from Windy Ellard a fellow demonstrator, who used the Beautiful Autumn Bundle to put a real Fall-like spin on the curve. I was going to tweak it a bit, but decided it is perfectly adorable just the way it is. Thank you Windy for sharing your talents with all of us! Click Here to see Windy’s original card.

To create this card at home begin with a Very Vanilla card base and cut two pieces of Cinnamon Cider cardstock with the curvy dies. Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow along the curve of the Very Vanilla cardstock. I love how Windy used the punches from the Beautiful Autumn Bundle to add some dimension. Just stamp and punch! The ink colors needed are Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry, Cinnamon Cider and Cajun Craze. I layered all the leaves and acorns along the curve using our Tombow liquid glue.

For the inside of my card I stamped the sentiment from the bundle in Cajun Craze and added a few Fall punches that I had left over from creating the front side. Tip: To get the lighter shade on the acorn, I stamped off using the Cinnamon Cider ink and the stamped with full strength ink for the top of the acorn. Did you know, that the Curvy Celebration also has a Variety bundle that includes a Christmas Stamp Set and some fun 6 x 6 Christmas Classic Designer Series Paper? Fun. Right?

The Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper features Cherry Cobbler, Sahara Sand, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White. I hope you will stop by tomorrow for some more crazy curvy fun! Who knows, you might even see that Classic Christmas paper. Feel free to leave a comment. Stamp Bundles will be available here on November 3rd. All other supplies can be purchased now.

Today’s post title perfectly describes a dear friend of mine, Lucy. I got this card in a card swap and I cannot remember who swapped it with me, but it could very well have been Lucy-LOL! I hated to see Lovely as a Tree retire, but I am so glad the Stampin’ UP! team designer gave us Rooted in Nature, which inspired this card.

The card base is made with our crumb cake cardstock with a layer of Early Expresso on top. The Shaded Spruce, Old Olive and Early Espresso inks really makes a bold statement. I hope you create something beautiful today. Stamping Hugs and Blessings!
