Happy Fall

 Hello Friends

I can't wait for fall weather! We have had a really hot summer here in Arizona with very little rain!  So needless to say I am ready for some cool weather!  So I am making some Happy Fall cards to send off to friends and family!  I am featuring the Fall Gate with Flowers, Harvest Pumpkins and the Fall Barrel (sunflowers)

 Background Photo by Freepiks

Design Steps:

1.  Start with an 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of white card stock stenciled with clouds. Create the gate using the Fall Gate die and wood grain DP.  I used dark brown ink to add contrast to the pieces on the front of the gate and the posts. Glue the gate together with a fine tip glue.  Add a layer of grass to the bottom careful not to glue down the top of the grass so you can stick in the picket fence.  After the picket fence add the gate.  I add another layer of grass in front of the gate
2.  Using the Fall Barrel die and the Harvest Pumpkins die cut out yellow, green, brown, and orange card stock.  Ink the edges of the flowers and pumpkins then assemble
3.  Slip the sunflowers in behind the fence and slip the pumpkins in the grass as shown above
4.  Glue to the panel to a white A2 card base and add the sentiment and your card is complete

Baseball Fan

Hello Friends

Today I am making a fun card for those baseball fans especially since the season is getting close to the World Series!!  I am using several dies All Stars with Shadow, Baseball Batter Silhouettes, and Baseball Glove, Bat and Ball.


Design Steps:

1.  Use the following dies All Stars with Shadow, Baseball Batter Silhouettes, and Baseball Glove, Bat and Ball:  cut out these colors of card stock: black, dark brown, white, red, navy, and kraft.  I made the home plate just by drawing it and free hand cutting.  I inked the home plate and the glove
2.  Use a cream colored A2 base card, cut a navy piece 4 x 5 1/4 and a DP woodgrain 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
3.  Glue the navy to the cream card base and then add the woodgrain
4.  Glue the Home Plate just slightly above center.  Pop up All Stars
5.  Pop up the glove and ball and then glue flat the silhouette ball player.  Ink the edges of the card base
6.  Add a few stars and your card is complete
