Crimped Leaves

I fell in love with this card (http://stampingleeyours.blogspot.com/2009/08/crimped-over-top-autumn-days-tutorial.html ) by Lee Conrey, then she posted the tutorial for it and this is my take on the basic card. I used the leaves from Lovely as a Tree and the Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede Stampin' Write markers to ink the stamp, The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes punched out with the word window punch then mounted on the Soft Suede Modern Label punch. This was then flanked with the antique brass Vintage brads; I find they go really well with Soft Suede.

I loved the results.

Thanks for looking,

Fall is here!

Whether we want to admit it or not the days AND nights are much cooler.

This was a card cased from Leeann Greff, http://flowerbug.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/08/card-club-projects.html I used the Autumn Days set and the reinkers for Soft Suede, Dusty Durango, Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry to create the inkpad on a baby wipe for the leaves. For the Pheasant I used the in-color markers to make sure I got the right colors where I wanted them. The card is pretty in real life. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and it is flanked on each end with a Vintage Brad in Antique Brass. Ribbon is Dusty Durango with the dotted side turned under. The tiny leaf is from the Lovely as a tree set. I also added a brown maple leaf brad from my stash, it seemed to add to the finished result.

I watch one of these glorious pheasants all year long as he comes in to my feeder, the winter is reall fun to watch him as he digs down into the snow to find the seeds the smaller birds have thrown out on the ground.

Thanks for looking.

Have a good evening,

Tic Tac Cover/Holder

I made this little cover for Tic Tac candy/breath mints. They are orange so screamed pumpkin to me. The pumpkin was made with the large and small oval punches, dusty Durango cardstock and ink for sponging the edges. The leaves in the background are from the Autumn Days stamp set from Stampin'Up and they are randomly stamped with Versamark ink. I think it turned out very cute and am very pleased with the results.

Nights are cool here but the days are glorious.....sunny and warm; I love fall!

Thanks for stopping by, Sharri
