This first card was made with SU!'s For all you do set and SU!'s new in color papers and inks. I used a 5.5 x 8.25" piece of whisper white as my base and nested a 5.25 x 4" piece of bermuda bay on top. Next I put a 5 x 3.75" piece of whisper white and stamped the greeting thank you in bermuda bay. The melon mambo and whisper white circles were cut using my Creative Memories circle cutting system. I stamped the butterflies in rich razzleberry and the flower in melon mambo onto whisper white cardstock and cut them out. I stamped the stem in soft suede directly onto the whisper white circle. I used dimensionals to pop up the butterflies and finished the card of with some paper piercing. I think it is a fairly basic card to start off with.
The next one is also fairly straight-forward. I used both my All Through the Year and my Loads of Love stamp sets. I used soft suede as my base cardstock and nested a piece of off-white scrap paper I had inside. I stamped my leaf stamp from the All Through the Year stamp set with dusty durango. Next I used my ticket corner punch to punch the corners of a second piece of off-white scrap paper and matted that with another piece of soft suede. I'm planning on demonstrating how to watercolor with this card (even though I haven't mastered the technique yet myself). Practice is the fun part! I used my watercolor pencil crayons along with my blender pen to colour in the truck and pumpkins. The greeting was stamped with dusty durango on a 1 1/4 " circle and matted on a 1 3/8" dusty durango circle. I used the smallest punch of my cropodile to create the holes for the twine to go through. I added some orange brads that I had on hand and there you have it, a sweet fall card!
