Masculine Fall Card

Good Afternoon!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Stamp TV, Men, Men, Men, Men (to make a masculine card), Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!  and Simon Says, Work It Wednesday.

I decided to make a nice Fall card for my Uncle Jim who lives in Arizona.

 

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Fall Foliage (leaves and sentiment) and So Grateful (acorn).  Inks in Always Artichoke, More Mustard and Pumpkin Pie.  I stamped the leaf image 3 times in the different inks and fussy cut them out.  Acorn image was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut out.     

Embossing Folders; Swiss Dots and Wood Grain for texture.  A wee bit of thin Jute Twine and 2 Enamel Brads for accents.  Designer Paper is Roam by K & Company.

 

I just really love this little cluster of leaves topped with an acorn.  And I cannot wait for cooler temps on a daily basis (now I did not say snow or winter, so don't yell at me--just the cool comforts of Fall)

 

Thanks so much for blowing in.

 

Enjoy~~





Thankful

Such a powerful word! 

Today's project was inspired by Chiaki Haverstick's Thankful Banner.  It is a MUST see.  The link will take you to her project page, as I am sure there are other pretty creations to craft!

My project will be entered into the Scor Pal Challenge, More Than One Score, Family/Thanksgiving and for the Stamp TV Challenge, Set From The Past.

*****  update *****  I guess I also have to mention where the score lines are for the Scor Pal Challenge: 

3 3/4" x 12"  card stock score at 2 3/4"  5 1/2"  8 1/4" and 11"
3 3/4" x 11"  card stock score at 2 3/4"  5 1/2" and 8 1/4"

 

The instructions were very easy to follow, the FUN part was adding all the layers and decorating it.
