Nature’s Poem Makes Great Fall Cards

The weather definitely says it is still summer but I am looking ahead to fall and those cool, crisp days.  Fall is definitely my favorite time of year.  The Nature’s Poem Suite is fabulous for helping with that fall look.  For this card I used the Nature’s Poem Designer Paper — this one has a wood grain texture to it in Cajun Craze.  The designer paper is attached to Soft Suede cardstock that has been embossed with the Subtles Embossing Folder (love it).  Then I took a piece of the Soft Suede Twine from the Nature’s Poem Twine Pack and split it into three pieces for a softer look (I did keep the three pieces together with a knot in the center).  I cut a Pearlized Doily in half and attached with Mini Glue Dots.  You Are Wonderful is stamped with Soft Suede, for the leaves I used Cajun Craze ink that is stamped off each time, then attach the layers to card front with dimensionals.

Little Elephant Thank You

Oh My Gosh – the Little Elephant Stamp Set is so adorable.  This is a stamp set that I kept passing by in the Annual Catalog — it’s in the baby section and I just didn’t think I needed it — I WAS WRONG.  I absolutely love the plaid elephants and all the little pieces in the set and there is a coordinating punch to help punch it out and punch the ear separately so you can add even more dimension to your projects.  This card is a Thank You card but change the words and it quickly becomes a Welcome Little One card – change to pinks and you are ready for a new baby girl.

Blended Seasons Stamp Set, Stitched Seasons Framelits, Christmas
The stamped images are fabulous but look at the detail on those wonderful labels.  The Stitched Season Framelits are a definite MUST HAVE.

I cut out the labels first and then stamped the images on the smaller label and colored it with Call Me Clover and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends — so quick and easy and looks great.
