I wait all year for Autumn! It is my favorite time of year and I love making fall cards! So, I am excited to share with you, my “Hello” Autumn Card! I love to mix and match stamps and dies when I design my cards. Not only does it add to the creativity, but it infinitely increases the possibilities for using my supplies.
I made my “Hello Autumn Card” using the Harvest Hello and Kindest Gnomes Bundles. The detailed die from the Autumn Bouquet Dies provided texture and dimension to the layer of Designer Series Paper. I, then, placed a piece of Gold Foil behind the die cut image. The stamped images were colored with Stampin’ Blends allowing the images to “pop” on the Crushed Curry background. My “Hello” Autumn card is part of the Sweethearts Global Collective Blog Hop.
Sweethearts Global Collective is an International group of Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. We share our love of creativity with not only our customers, but, also, one another. Today, the theme for our blog hop is “anything goes!” We hope our projects and creativity inspire you in your stamping and papercrafting. Just a quick reminder…as we span the globe, not only are we in different countries, but, also, different seasons. Thus, you may see projects for Spring card from one and Autumn card from another. At the end of this post, please “hop” along with me to visit the other blogs and see the amazing creativity of these wonderful demonstrators from around the world!
