Happy Scenes-Is Autumn here yet?

9 / 21 / 15

Well, a few days of somewhat cooler temps is all I need to get the fall decorations out and pumpkin everything going in the house.  I absolutely love fall and always have.  I think it’s because our Texas summers are so hot and humid that I am so ready for it when it comes.  And I love all the colors and tastes of fall.

Happy Scenes Autumn

I got to use those fun fall colors AND pumpkins on this card!  Yay for me!  I used the Happy Scenes stamp set and thinlet (it comes as a bundle in the new Holiday Catalog at a 15% discount).  I also used Into the Forest Designer Series Paper for the background.  Cut my window out of black paper.  Sponged a little tangelo twist and hello honey for the fall sky.  Colored in my leaves with stampin up markers.  Stamped my sentiment in gold ink.  Added a leaf cutout and gold thread for embellishment.

This is one of those cards that make a big impact but was pretty quick to put together!

Rough September

9 / 19 / 15

Well September did not start the way I had planned.  My dad crossed into heaven on Sept. 2nd after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.  As hard as it is to lose him, I know he is happy and healed now.  Friends and family have surrounded me with cards, meals, prayers, and kind words and I feel very blessed.

After taking a week or so off, I have managed to get the creative juices flowing again and making some pretty cute fall cards.

Batik

I was inspired by batik fabric for this card.  The first step was heat embossing with white powder the leaves and sprigs of wheat.  I used the Hello Fall Stamp set from the catalog.  Carefully, I repeatedly folded the card in different directions to give it that distressed look.  Then I sponged Mossy Meadow Ink, Tangelo Twist, and Hello Honey on the whole card.  I used a tissue to white off extra ink from the embossed images.  On the vellum piece, I heat embossed the sentiment in blackpowder.  Used linen thread and wood cutouts for the embellishments.  Love how this turned out.
