Fall birthdays are so much fun! Making cards with the rich colors of fall just makes my heart smile! This card was made for a special friend of my family. I needed a great card for a man with pop, but it still had to remain on the simple side; because men aren't fond of a lot of fluff. LOL! Normally, when we need a card for a man, leaves or trees are the design of choice. This card is no exception. I used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool and the retired ... VIEW POST
Vintage Leaves Birthday
Cable Knit Embossing Folder with Vintage Leaves
This is one of my favorite fall cards this year! It showcases the new Cable Knit Embossing Folder with a great 3-D image effect and Vintage Leaves stamp set with some very classy copper accents. Inking up the embossing folder with Cajun Craze ink before adding the cardstock created even more dimension on the card front. I used Copper Foil Paper and embossed the sentiment on it with Copper Embossing Powder--a very cool technique. The leaves were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink ... VIEW POST
Vintage Leaves Again

The Mossy Meadow leaves were cut out with the Leaflets Framelits. The sentiment is from Lighthearted Leaves. The black tuxedo bow on the front is ... VIEW POST
Vintage Leaves and Lighthearted Leaves Together

There are so many things you can do with those Square Pillow Box Thinlits! I just love it! The ribbon is a ... VIEW POST
Vintage Leaves Grateful
This is a quick card to make but the lovely leaves and DSP give it a lot of impact. The DSP is part of the Into the Woods Designer Series Paper and the leaves are stamped using the Vintage Leaves stamp set and cut out with the matching Leaflets Framelits. Both the Vintage Leaves stamp set and the framelits can be found in the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog. I am a huge fan of anything with leaves! I think they exude a wonderful quality that can be fun and lighthearted or ... VIEW POST
