Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my animal loving niece who especially likes wolves. Wolf image was found by Googling wolf clip art, pp was found by searching for fall woodsy background paper. My biggest challenge was printing “happy birthday” on a 1/4″ strip. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I was not real sure about it till hubby said how much he liked it.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Hello and welcome. I hope those of you on the east coast are staying safe from Lee.
After seeing so many fractured/faux shutter cards I just had to try one. I found several tutorials on Pinterest. Again, the pp’s were found online, sentiment square was printed on the computer and I brought in some clip art fall leaves. Die used it stitched squares by Die-namics. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it might be and I’m very pleased with the end result.

I used older product to create an autumn leaves card.
I used a set from 2016, SU Blended Seasons. I stamped the leaves in Archival Sepia ink, then used watercolor pencils and a blender pen to add color. It was die cut with the dies that were released with the stamp set. I embossed, GKD Dark Chocolate cardstock with the SU Layered Leaves folder; it is very retired. The greeting came from Your Next Stamp Autumn Greetings, with a date of 2015. I am enjoying creating with product from my stash giving it new life.

We found this interesting fungus growing in our yard. I have never seen anything like this. I thought it looked like Mums, but we have none growing that I am aware of. Enjoy!
Trying to come up with a clean and simple card that uses a stencil and I can send for a dear friend’s birthday wasn’t as difficult as I thought. My clean and simple card uses Taylored Expressiongs Abstract Accents layering stencils and clear stamp set, TE Simple Silhouettes and GKD Stipples Flowers sentiment. The difficult part was trying to hide a tiny black smudge on my focal layer.
My card will be shared with
Simply Clean and Simple CAS card design challenge: Simple Clean and Simple September Challenge with a stencil option.

Orange and plaid are definitely signs of the changing seasons and fall should be right around the corner….well maybe not yet but soon.
For my card today, I made my plaid using Taylored Expressions Plaid layering stencil in Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon inks and added a black line with a marker. Simon Says Stamp Large Stitched Maple leaf die is my focal image and the sentiment is from a Gina K Designs Autumn Silhouettes stamp set. Sweet Mango cardstock from GKD was used to complete my Outrageous Orange card. And why make one when you can make two cards.
My card today will be shared with:

I have been looking at challenges available in blogland and found the color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. I like the colors they chose. I am also adding this to Less is More Challenge #491, Anything Goes.
I stamped the typewriter from Hero Arts My Type in Starry Sky. I stamped the words hello friend, from Hero Arts Butterfly & Flower Stamp and Cut set, in Coastal Cabana and GKD Lemon Drop. The circles came from another HA set called Just for You by Lia. The butterflies came from a set from Scrapbook dot com; it really does not have a name. I added the butterfly body and antennae with a Starry Sky marker. I added the Lemon Lolly layer for more color.
I haven’t used the typewriter set in a long time. It was fun to stamp it again. I was inspired by the designer, Jeanne, who used the SU set with the typewriter in the annual catalog. It looks like a fun set, but since I have this typewriter, I have not purchased it.

Thanks for stopping by.
Time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment “maybe someday I’ll finally get what I deserve, but I hope not” is from a Garfield cartoon. Image and thought bubbles were found online. After printing the sentiment I fussy cut bubbles and image. Oval is Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals, embossed border is Cuttlebug embossing borders. There are 5 different borders in the package. Normally I don’t emboss the card base nor the inside but I think it works well on this card.
