ICS-ROOTED IN NATURE

So much to my dismay we are welcoming Fall!! I mean it's all good, but I'm such a summer girl I just hate to see it go! But I did have my first cup of pumpkin spice coffee the other day so that makes it a bit easier!! 

Certainly fall is a lovely time for crafting, however! And we are here to show you some 

Fabulous Fall creations!!!!

Here's my card:

So I've had a very busy summer with some family stuffs going on, so I've barely had time to even look at the beautiful Fall Catalog which is now LIVE by the way!!!! So I started digging through some of my beautiful stamps from the Annual Catalog & remembered this beautiful stamp set-Rooted in Nature!!! I so love this set! It's fine year round, but I love the beautiful trees! And combine them with the Nature's Roots coordinating framelits it's a win-win situation!!! The colors on the tree were done with our Stampin' Markers!

This card was created using the amazing new 

Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Cards & Envelopes! 

Long name for a beautiful card base! And when I think of fall I think of more rustic tones. These are the perfect color! The gold trim adds just the right amount of bling. Now you may be asking which DSP I used for the background? Nope. Not DSP. It's the beautiful Birch stamp! It covers a large area so is perfect for background! Now I know here I didn't use traditional birch colors, but the browns matched the card base better!

The little leaves use the gorgeous Perennial Essence Vellum. And the trim is the Braided Linen Trim. The only extra are a couple of gold sequins I had from a recent Paper Pumpkin set.

I hope this gets you happy for fall. I'm still mourning summer. It seemed to get chilly here after a very humid August. Hoping for a nice extended Indian Summer! lol

ICS BLOG HOP-MANY BLESSINGS

This month on the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we are celebrating 

Fall for All!!! Beautiful fall creations featuring products from our amazing new Holiday Catalog will be featured!!!! 

Now everyone knows I'm a summer girl, but fall is second best! Here in 

New England we have the most vibrant colors! Lots of apple picking, pumpkins & corn stalks, hay bales & lots more happen around here! Although this year we've had so much rain it's hard to see any colors at all! So looking forward to this blog hop to make my colors shine!!!

Here's my fall creation this month:

This was a fun, clean-and-fairly simple card to make. That's my style!!! This is the Many Blessings stamp set! It was inspired by one of Stampin' Up's Million Sales Achievers-Ruth Snyder! I really like it because it works for anything from early fall right through Christmas! A super versatile, fun stamp set! 

And it's perfect to use with our amazing Stampin' Blends! Ok I love to color. Don't judge! lol This like "grown up" coloring! And I love how these colors really made me think fall!

I used the Layered Leaves Dynamic Embossing Folder. Now usually I spritz the card stock a bit with water before I emboss with these folders, but this time I wanted a softer finish-so no water! Still pretty but a nice light finish!

I love this kind of peek-a-boo style card!!! It just adds a little something extra to a pretty greeting card.   Easy to do with all the Layering Circle Framelits & Circle Punches we have! I used a combo here! And the photopolymer stamps are "flexible" so i was able to fit that wreath-like stamp on the round strip!

Finished it all off with the Braided Linen Trim! I am very happy with this one! Love my Stampin' Blends!
