DS paper - "Festival of Prints"

Inks/papers/ribbon - very vanilla and pool party paper, cherry cobbler ink and ribbon

Simply Scored $29.95

Lovely As a Tree

Lovely As a Tree

Lovely As a Tree has been around for a long, long time. If you always wanted it but haven't purchased it yet you'll be happy to know that it is now available in clear. The wood-mounted set is $27.95 but the clear-mounted set is only $19.95. Time to rethink this purchase!

Love this as a masculine card. To me, guy cards are the hardest to creatively design. But - just because it is a masculine card, doesn't mean it doesn't get a little bling - dazzling details was added to the leaves.

Stamp set(s): Lovely As a Tree, Bring On the Cake
Papers: whisper white, more mustard, chocolate chip, crumb cake
Inks: chocolate chip, more mustard, cajun craze, always artichoke
Punches: decorative label
Big Shot: labels collection framelits, houndstooth embossing folder
Embellishments: button, dazzling details glitter

French Foliage $14.95 (C)

The leaves have started falling at my house. They were the inspiration for this card using the "French Foliage" stamp set from the SU! 2012-2013 catalog. It's a great set for making your own background paper!

The ribbon on this card is SU!'s 7/8" Cotton Ribbon - a stampable fine cotton texture. I stamped the ribbon with the same color of ink used in the card - what a way to complement the images and colors used to make the card.

Papers: Early Espresso, Raspberry Ripple, Very Vanilla

Inks: Early Espresso, Raspberry Ripple, More Mustard, Lucky Limeade

Punches: Square

Big Shot: Woodgrain embossing folder

This witch's boot has really grown on me. I bought the "Bootiful Occasions" set for the rain boot and the

cowgirl boot but I'm really liking this one too. Great set for year-round occasions.

Happy Fall Y'all

This cool weather makes me want to stay in, drink cocoa and curl up on the coach with a comfy blanket. It is my favorite time of the year! So now I'm inspired to make fall cards. I love using purple in combination with traditional fall colors.....
