Autumn Greetings

 Happy Tuesday...and happy first day of fall! We are headed into the BEST season of the year...warm sunny days, cool crisp nights, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING and oh, those gorgeous fall colours! 

I have been having some fun playing with fall colours and images lately and have fallen IN LOVE with the Autumn Greetings Bundle...

Check out this card I made for today's Live @ Five video...

I used Gilded Autumn DSP for my background...that speckled pattern is my favourite...it is so versatile! I stamped the beautiful floral image in Early Espresso ink and die-cut the edges using the Autumn Essentials dies. The plaid DSP is from the Plaid Tidings pack and is die-cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I addeed several additional die-cut elements, including the wheat from the Autumn Essentials dies and some leaves from the Gathered Leaves dies. The Early Espresso card base is stamped in ink of the same shade using the leaf image from the Autumn Greetings set. My colour palette came from the the DSP: Cajun Craze, Bumblebee and Pretty Peacock.

The sentiment is from the Autumn Greetings set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink I added some Braided Linen trim and a few In Good Taste Wooden Elements. I love the variations in texture on this card!

On the inside of the card I added a Whisper White panel on which I stamped another sentiment from the Autumn Greetings set and some leaves in Early Espresso ink.

I absolutely LOVE this bundle! The images are not only fun to colour, but they also work beautifully as simple line art. Here is the video in which I demonstrate this card and two others using this bundle. Measurements for all three projects are included in the video description on my YouTube channel:

Seasonal Wreaths

Happy Monday! You're going to get sick of me, posting two days in a row! I hope you enjoyed our Stamping Symphony blog hop yesterday...I am constantly in awe of the talented people I get to call my friends!
This week I am turning my focus away from suites and toward a single stamp set that, I fear, may get missed in the Holiday Catalogue. The Seasonal Wreaths stamp set is SO versatile AND it coordinates with the All Around Wreath dies, which are part of the Toile Tidings Suite. The best thing about this stamp set is it makes those wreath dies truly multi-seasonal. Check out the images in the stamp set:

I had so much fun playing with this set! I'm kicking off the week with a fall-themed card because, well, it's fall (and I'm still in love with the Come To Gather DSP!).
Check this out...

Here, I stamped the wreath image in Versamark and heat embossed it in copper. Then I die-cut it using the All Around Wreath dies and coloured it using Stampin' Blends. I used Dark Pumpkin Pie, Light and Dark Cajun Craze, Dark Daffodil Delight, Dark Cherry Cobbler and Light Crumb Cake. I also used both Light and Dark Crumb Cake to colour the sweet little bird.

I added some little twigs from the All Around Wreath die and die-cut a banner from the Christmas Cardinal dies. The little bird is fussy cut and nestled in amongst some leaves die-cut using the Gathered Leaves dies. The sentiment, which is stamped in Early Espresso, is from the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set. The only embellishment is a little Cajun Craze Linen Thread double bow.

On the inside, I added a Whisper White panel on which I stamped the complete sentiment from the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set and another little bird, both in Early Espresso ink. I coloured the bird using the Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends combo pack.

I'll be demonstrating this card and two others using the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set in tomorrow's Tuesday Live @ Five video. I hope you'll join me over on Facebook, but if you can't you'll be able to catch the replay on my YouTube channel later in the week.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a fantastic week!
