Autumn Birthday Wishes

Yesterday was the first day of fall, so I thought this card was a perfect
way to welcome the season.
Autumn WishesThe card base is Cajun Craze with a layer of Tip Top Taupe that was embossed
with the Woodlands embossing folder.  After embossing we lightly sponged
the raised trees with Tip Top Taupe ink.
Next we stamped leaves randomly from the tree branches.
We added a banner cut from the Burlap Ribbon and adhered to the front.
Tie a small bow from Linen Thread and add one of the Into the Woods Elements.

I love the autumn colors on this color and I hope you do to.

Spooky Among the Branches

Last night was my Stamp of the Month Class using the Among the Branches stamp set.  What a great set — can be quick and easy or get as detailed as you want.
Tina 3The base of the card is Basic Black — next is a layer of Whisper White that
is embossed with the Woodlands embossing folder.  Then we added one of the
great Spider Web Doilies from the Holiday Catalog  The tag was made with a
piece of Tangelo Twist cardstock cut just under 2" x 3 1/4".  I used the
Scallop Tag Topper Punch — stamp the images.  I added a piece of the
3/8" Striped Satin Ribbon through the top of the tag and tied that with a piece
of Black Bakers Twine.  We stamped "Spooky" with Memento ink and colored the
eyes with the Tangelo Twist marker.

The ladies all enjoyed making this card.

Home Again, Home Again

Reality sets back in — I made it home safe and sound (thank goodness).
Today I have just a couple more Founders Circle pictures for you
but this time they are about cards — actually it's my swap card.

I didn't get them finished before I left (even though two fabulous friends helped before I left) so I had to work on them at the airport and even on the airplane.

I still didn't have them finished when I landed.
Wednesday afternoon we sat around tables in the Gathering Room
and helped each other finish them up.  It was amazing.
Here is my swap card finished.

Here it is all opened up.

I hope they all enjoyed it.  I love special folds and this card was fun to make.
