A Fall Hello

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using your favorite Fall Color Combo. I love the rich yellow and oranges of the changing leaves. In just a few days, I'll actually get to see some changing leaves when I fly to Indiana before moving to Nebraska. For my card, I wanted to feature those wonderful colors and so I pulled out my Brusho crystals in yellow and gamboge to create this fun background piece. From there I just accessorized with some ribbon and a great raised sentiment.

Floral Easel

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create an easel card. For some reason, I always thought that these cards were difficult to make. Not so!!! All you have to do is take a card base measuring 4 1/2" x 11" and score in half (5 1/2"). From there, score the base at 2 3/4" to create the easel fold. So incredibly easy!!!! From there, I decided on my DSP choice to create a base and then Accented Blooms for my stamped image. I had a ton of fun coloring my stamped image in coordinating colors. I finished off my card with some Old Olive Ribbon and Faceted Gems.

Tailored Garden

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card from in the garden. What better starting point than the Garden Impressions DSP? Seriously, this is some gorgeous paper. I love all the color combinations and patterns. For my card, I CASEd a design using the Tailored Tag Punch to create an interesting DSP background. I chose a few different paper patterns, punch out pieces, and glued them onto a piece of cardstock. I decided to keep the rest of the card simple with a punched sentiment and some coordinating ribbon.
