Who's with me? Fall is my favorite season as far as the colors, the smells, the landscape, the warmth etc. It is all so nostalgic and heartwarming. It's funny that while a lot of things are fading like the glorious summer flowers, hot temperatures and long days, it's still okay to welcome gorgeous leaves turning colors, pumpkins and apples, crisp and colder air and early evenings. I feel that often I don't get enough time to just play with my fall themed stamps and wanted to do so last week. I made a couple of cards that are just for fun:
If you've been around with Stampin'Up!, you will recognize a conglomeration of bundles that I used! My main focus was the "Grown with Love" bundle. I used the big clay pot in the first card and the wagon and veggies in the second card. The sunflowers are from the "Bike Ride" bundle and for fun, I embossed the background with one of our new dynamic texture embossing folders, "Layered Leaves." On the second card, I used an old favorite, the brick wall embossing folder. This time, I inked up the folder before embossing to color the bricks just a tad with some gray ink. My ribbon and button on retired products! Anyone recognize them? They are from several years ago!
Most of the time, an upcoming holiday or occasion get us working on a project but every once in awhile, it is fun to just create for fun, no special reason or person in mind. I know these cards will be given out some day, but for now, they were just fun to play with and work on some ideas. I have more ideas than I have time so it's always good to click off a few!
Don't forget about my online party! I'm hosting an online party from now through the 15th of October. For every online order placed with me, I will send/give you a free stamp set from my retired collection and a goodie bag of stuff to go with it like paper, embellishments, ribbons, etc. It's my way of thanking you for shopping with me. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Happy Stampin'!
