Here is another fall card, I think I'll add this one to the Rotary Club pile also. I cut my pattern paper, white and rust cardstock and attached them to the card base, cutting instructions are below.

For my focal point I first embossed a piece of white cardstock with the square Designer Frames and cut it out.  I used a couple of post it notes to cover the frame then stamped the wheat a couple of times.   On another scrap piece of white cardstock I stamped the pheasant and cut him out. 

I glued the Square Designer Frame to the blue cardstock and wrapped my ribbon around both of them.  The pheasant has a pop up dot behind the main part of his body and glue on the tail. 

To finish off the inside I stamped the wheat once on my liner.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi everyone today is my day at Card A Day Blog and the theme is Thanksgiving cards.   I just love the milk can stamp Christine at Creative Genie-ous used yesterday on her card yesterday. I have the cutting sizes listed at the bottom of my post.

For my card I started with a piece of cream cardstock and embossed with the Designer Frames then cut around it.  I used some post it notes to cover the sides of the frame where I did not want the ink to show up and stamped the wheat inside the frame.  I then stamped the pheasant onto white cardstock and cut around him. I used pop up dots behind the pheasant when I put him onto the frame.

The Happy Thanksgiving is one long wood stamp and I wanted break it into two pieces.  I cut my paper at 1/2" wide, stamped "Happy", cleaned my stamp then stamped "Thanksgiving". I use the same purple paper with the scallop punch and added it to the inside of the card ( it looks more blue in the picture but it is the same paper).

Tomorrow Terri Wright is the designer of the day at Card A Day Blog, so stop by and see what she had created for you. Don't forget to enter the challenges at Card A Day Blog.

OWH Sketch Challenge #134

I took a couple of minutes while cleaning off my desk to create another card for Operation Write Home.  I had the Autumn Days stamp set out and combined it with this sketch from Operation Write Home.

Super Bowl Sunday Blog Hop - Day 2

It's BLOG HOP TIME!
The designers at Card a Day Blog are joining together to do a blog hop this weekend! The theme is Masculine cards! Let's not let the guys have all the fun on Super Bowl Sunday....let's get a little of our own fun in!
To join in....visit all the participating designers by visiting their sites, some are having prize give aways...so make sure you pop in! Make sure you comment on all the blogs too, because at the end of the weekend, they are going to send a list of all who commented on their blog, and we are going to do a grand prize drawing of all comments on each blog!
So JOIN IN TODAY....comment on the main blog page, and visit the other hop pages and comment there too!

Thanks for joining us for Day 2 of the Blog Hop! Wasn't there some fabulous cards on Day 1 of the Hop?  I'm sure glad I don't have to pick a favorite.

For Day 2 I'm keeping with the same color scheme except I'm changing out the gray and black for shades of brown and adding a blue. 

For the pheasant I first measured my stamp block, then cut the white paper that size which is 3" x 2", then stamped using Soft Suede. I stamped the leaves with the Pear Pizzazz and punched them out with a 3/4" punch. Out of my brown card stock I cut a 1" square to mount the leaf on and have them on pop up dots.  All of this is mounted onto blue cardstock then onto brown. 

For the inside I have layered green, brown then the pattern paper onto the mat.  I had originally stamped a couple of the leaves along the bottom of the mat but didn't like the way that turned out so I just covered them up with the layers. 


Once again here is my Blog Candy and I will choose a winner on Monday.

Autumn Card

Our temperature has dropped and I feel fall coming on fast, so today's card is a fall theme card.  I used the Stampin' Up set Autumn Days to create this card.  I stamped and embossed the flowers, berried and wheat onto their own colored cardstock.  The dark brown is embossed and then edged with the border punch.  I attached my ribbon to the back side of this then adhered everything down.  I stamped the little maple leaf onto white cardstock and punched it out for the inside.

There is always . . . .

something for which to be thankful". - Charles Dickens. This is one of the sayings in the September Kit of the Month from Unity. I used the leaves from this set for the front of my card and the border stamp from the July Kit of the Month.

I stamped newsprint paper with the Medallion stamp and layered the border strip, ribbon and punched the green cardstock with the Swirling Lace border. After embossing the medium die I layered it with the decorative label then placed the leaves on top. All of my edges are inked in midnight black.

I stamped the quote in Olive green and have it inside the card.
