Happy Fall Card

Are you feeling the chill in the air and getting a need to create seasonal things? I am! Here is a fall pumpkin card I created for a home gathering. I used laying and ink distressing with the sponge dobbers to give it dimension. The stamp set is October Word Puzzle (retiring soon) and Grace level 2 paper pack.

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Snowman Shaker Card

The idea for this card came from Splitcoaststampers. If you have not been to this site plan to be there a while. Their gallery has fabulous hand crafted items to browse through for inspiration. The cup I attached to the card is from Stampin Up. My Stampin Up consultant is Elisa Powell and you can order them off her website. All other products used were Close To My Heart. I used jingle level 2 paper pack, All Decked Out acrylic stamp set, prisma glitter (the perfect snow), and Cranberry ribbon rounds (the ribbon is velvet).
