Autumn Tree

Do you have the Cricut cartridge Artfully Sent by Close to My Heart yet (Get it HERE)? I just love this cartridge because I can make cute cards so quickly. I was inspired to make this card because this particular embossing folder looks so great with the tree. I inked the embossing to add some depth and then used my Skittles and ribbon for some pop.

Challenge #16: Fall with a Die Cut and Stamp

It's time for another challenge at ScrapbookerPhD, and I am super excited about the theme. My inspiration for this card was watching the leaves around my area changing colors (and falling to the ground). Here, I started with this fabulous leaf paper from Close to My Heart, the Pathfinding collection. Buy it HERE.  

Because the leaf pattern was subtle, I went ahead and embossed the paper with another, but bolder, leaf pattern. I added the small cork embellishment from the Pathfinding kit to the center of the die cut circle. 

Thanksgiving already?

Seriously, where did the time go? It was just yesterday that I was swimming and reading by the pool. Now, the leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground. The nights are chilly. And October is over, which means Halloween projects will now slowly ebb into to Thanksgiving. That's where this card comes in...

With so many cards to make, I started with some CAS cards. This card base is on a kraft cardstock  with a green mat, and the leaf patterned paper by CTMH, Pathfinding Collection (X7186B). When I bought the Pathfinding Collection, I also received these great cork embellishments that I used at the bottom of the card. The sentiment stamp is also from CTMH, the Thankful Heart Holiday set (B14563).

Harvest Happiness

Do you craft based on the seasons? 

Are you starting to think about fall cards, and getting excited about Halloween cards? 

I opened up my new CTMH Pathfinding kit and got to work on my first fall/autumn card. The leaf pattern is bold and beautiful and includes BLUE! It's just a fun color to add to the fall palate. Contrasting that bold pattern, I cut the soft cream and orange design using a die cut. Then, I added the chip board sunflower to the center. The sentiment, Harvest Happiness, is from the stamp set, Thankful Heart Holiday (B1463). I used Ponderosa Pine ink. Finally, I added a the ribbon and gem (Skittle). And, DONE. Super easy with a very classic design. 

This card is going into my box of cards for Operation Write Home. It is a great cause. Check it out: HERE
