Happy Fall Y'All!

Well the fall decorating at my house has been completed, and I just started cutting down the perennials in my humongous garden...that will take a couple of months of hard labor before its complete, so I thought I might as well start working on my fall cards too. The first one uses last week's sketch on Paper Craft Planet. I used the retired Stampin Up! set 'Happy Fall Ya'll'. The images are colored with Copic Markers. I cut out and popped up the pumpkin on dimensionals. The designer paper is DCWV 'Fall Matstack', other card stock colors are Old Olive, More Mustard, and Chocolate Chip. I used chalk to color in the sentiment. My second card isn't really a fall card, its more of a fall birthday card, and I used this week's sketch on Splitcoaststampers. I used the same designer paper as in my first card, and the card stock colors are Old Olive, Close to Cocoa, and Chocolate Chip. The image is a digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis. If you'd like to purchase this image, simply click on the Digital Stamp Oasis Blinkie in my side bar and it will take you to the Etsy store. The sentiment on this card is from Clear Dollar Stamps 'Just Nutty', and the acorns are a retired SU! image that I cut out. The oak leaves are a Martha Stewart punch. I also colored this image with Copics and mounted the main image panel up on dimensionals.

Before I close today I just wanted to take time to thank you for all your support and comments regarding my resignation as a Stampin Up! demo. And thanks for the advice on card stock. Papertrey Ink was the clear winner, so I will definitely be ordering some from them with my next stamp order! Have a great day! Amy

  5. Very sweet cards! I love fall and love your scarecrow! I don't envy your gardening work. I still have a pile of mulch sitting in my driveway from the spring that I never got around to putting on my weed-covered plants!
