Same set...different layout

Another great layout, although I wish I had more patterned paper..(my paper draw is screaming right now!)...

The papers are different lengths (I just eye-balled it), but the same width (1/2 inch)...the pumpkin image is stamped on patterned paper and popped up...

Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake

Fall, already?

I was a little sick of making summer-looking cards...so I decided to whip out Happy Harvest and make this card...I stamped the pumpkin on some Pumpkin Pie patterned paper..the button is a retired cordouroy button...the side strip is just some Early Expresso punched with the scallop edge punch with a sliver of Pumpkin Pie glued on top...the card base is Always Artichoke, run through the embossing folder...oh, and don't forget the Crumb Cake panel with the rounded corners!

The layout is from Krista Fenton (of course!)

Quick and easy....

I made some quick note cards to sell at an upcoming vendor fair...just embossed some flowers on Pale Plum card stock with clear embossing powder and Pale Plum craft ink...

Circle Circus...

I had this sample to CASE for the set Circle Circus for the longest time and I finally got a chance to make it...the stamped piece it popped up with dimensionals...the sentiments are stamped along the sides of the popped up piece (stamp the sentiments first with the panel laying flat on the card...it makes it easier to stamp, then pop up with dimensionals)..I added the little punched flowers to fill in the gaps...

Can't wait to try it in some other colors...maybe even a Christmas card???

Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Whisper White

Well, I'm back!

Wasn't that quick?  I had lots of time today to organize myself, download my camera, and even got in a little stamping!  The hurricane is about to hit...it is raining on and off here...but we are going stir crazy waiting for Hurricane Irene to come!  We  even had to shut the TV, as it was making us all anxious...

Todays' card is so simple...3 circles, embossed with the Swiss Dot folder, with a layered stamped flower on the center...I chose the colors because I had some Pumpkin Pie ribbon and went to the Color Coach and found a 3 color combo that worked...the center of the flower has a red rhinestone in the middle...

Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Pacific Point...

I know I've been missing....

Just returned from a short trip to my parents' house, that turned into a bit of a nightmare, with my 5 year old having to be admitted to the hospital with an asthma attack... so needless to say I'm a bit discombobulated!  I just need to unpack (& find my camera to download some photos) get my son well, and prepare for this hurricane!  So I will be back soon!

Quite a surprise!

I lied...I did receive one other hand-made card for my birthday this year...I received this My Digital Studio card fro Stampin' Up!...

Along with the card was a surprise 15% discount on one item!!! (so I got the Inspired by Nature set--wait till you see what I made with it!)...


In true card maker fashion, I took off the card front and put it on my own Rich Razzleberry card, ready to give to someone else!

You can really see it in the photo, but someone took the time to adhere 2 rhinestones to the front of the card...
