Repurpose Fall Card

This card is a little rustic or vintage or repurposed.... (FYI the background card is not as pink as the camera picked it up)

I picked up 5 different fall colors paint chips at the Hardware store and ran them all through my big shot using Lawn Fawn leaves dies (love the cuts)
I ran vintage page of a book through a new background die from Tim Holtz / Sizzix to represent "wind"
Added some twine to the side and left this no sentiment note card to send to my daughter.

Thinking of you Fall card

Made this card for my son... it was long overdue.
The background layer is a metal embossing plate that I picked up on clearance at the Expo and this was the first time I used it. Pretty neat effect and I did add a little brown ink to it however it is hard to see.
Sizzix thing of you die and Lawn Fawn leaves cut from paint chips I had in my stash.
Some of the leaves I added foam to raise some of  them.
Nice quick card.

Dollar Tree Fall Candles

With a bag of fall leaves and the battery lighted candles my daughter and sisters created these with my help this weekend at my house.
They came out great!

Here are the items from DT
Bag of 50 leaves (note only a few had glitter)

The waxy feel plastic battery candles 

Twine in natural and green

From my stash; glue gun and rhinestones

Fall aperture fun card

I used two Spellbinder dies to create the framed aperture.

Using my Crop-a-Dile I punch a hole in the base card and added an eyelet.

I die cut various leaves from Lawn Fawn (I bought this awesome set last year at the expo) and inked and hung it from twine.

Using an old Martha Stewart fence punch I added that to the front and tucked in a little pumpkin from the Elizabeth Craft Designs (bought a few at the Expo last weekend and this little pumpkin was in one of the charm sets). Made two of these quick cards!

Note of Thanks

Again - going through my saved pieces, I had a bunch of these leaves punched and the sentiment as well stamped.

I added them to a Cuttlebug swirl embossing mat.
The Sentiment and label are from Stampin' Up.
The Pumpkin, also already made from last fall in my stash, was created by using the oval punch from Stampin' Up punched three times and inked.

Fall card with Martha

Martha Stewart products that is!

Here is a card I made for my daughter tonight and I'll be mailing on Thursday.

I used my scraps to make this card, using the border punch and the leaf dual punch and stamp set that Martha has.

She only has a few variations of these that not only punches but gives to a corresponding rubbber stamp to add the veins.

  

I keep all my scraps and file them in folders by color!

Thank you fall card

My friend and I had a lovely lunch today and she treated so I came right home and made her this card.

The front base is embossed using a Sizzix TH embossing folder. I inked with ColorBox Burnt Sienna. Followed the sketch at Card Patterns and added the zig zag ribbon to go along with the Alphabet Challenge blog.
At Crafty Creations they wanted to see red brown and green and For Fun Challenge also wanted to see red brown and cream which certainly went with the Fall Challenge at Crazy4Challenge. I tied it all together with the All Sorts Bingo game challenge and the genre of Thank you and other challenge aspects (embossing, metal, Cricut cut (my rectangles from Wild Card and anything else) can be found at Paper Craft Star.
The twig/leave stamp was stamped in versamark and I used my new Perfect Pearls I got at Die Cuts R Us. I had to buy the Mini Misters today and tried my hand at the new technique - love it!
Added pearls I also got from DCRU.
Oh the stamps and sentiment are from a retired SU set.

Autumn banner

Made this for my daughter, this completes the season banners for her.
Here is how I made it - I cut 4 x 4 pieces of cardboard from a USPS box I got in the mail.
Punched the holes in the pieces with my crop-a-dial.
Inked all the edges then proceeded to look at my carts for autumn items.
The font I cut the regular and shadow at 1 1/2" from Storybook (Thank you Audrey) and put that aside.
The elements were cut from the following:
A - The apples were cut from Doodlecharms at 2 1/4 and 1 3/4" page 118 key #37
U - The basket was cut from Doodlecharms at 2 1/4" Key #35
T - the leaves were cut from Doodlecharms at 1 1/2" key #34
U - the Pumpkins were cut from A Child's Year page 52
M - The ghost was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up at 1 1/2" 2 3/4", and 3" and the spiders were cut from Designer Calendar page 48 at 1 1/4" and 1 3/4"
N - The turkey was cut from Designer Calendar as well as the Pilgrim hat pg 38

Entering this at Paper Playtime autumn challenge - I just love this time of year here in New England!
oh -and to help me find some icons that I was not sure which page or cart they were on I used. What a big help. You should try it.

Basket note cards for the fall

I just love the Doodlecharms cartridge.

I wanted to try the card icon - but... unlike the wild card cartridge - when you ask for 4" ... you get a tiny card... so I ask for 8" still a small card - in the size of a note card. Which is fine because that is all I'll be using then for - and sending "thinking of you" cards to the kids in college.

So if you set at 8" your finished card is 4 x 3 cute!

Here are the insides - click on the pic to see a better image

Cuttlebug Spot Challenge # 32 - Brown, Blue or Orange
