Fond of Autumn catalog case and variation


 


when I saw the holiday mini catalog and saw the Fond of Autumn set I was intrigued. one stamp diecut into 4 different pieces or used as one. Pretty cool. when I saw the sample I was hooked with the pale flowers against the mint background- I had to make for one of the classes.  

I used Mint Macaron base and sentiment banner in same using white embossing powder.  kept the flowers pale and I loved the contrast but I had to make a card that is still my own and that is what is above.                                                                                             Basecard is thick white with a layer of white and a layer of  Silver and gold DSP from Sale-a-bration diecut with large circle from Stylish Shapes . ink the stamp in Tuxedo black and color with Highland Heather and Blackberry bliss and the berry using Starry Sky and leaves in mint macaron and old olive.  Sentiment from happiness abounds set embossed on black all mounted with dimensionals.  Catalog case is such a fun way to use the catalog and a way to get going again when you have a card block... happens more often that you think.

Paradise palms variations

This was a simple SLC single layer card variation we made at my class  using the Oceanfront stampset
Balmy blue sky and Bermuda Bay water and a diecut from the palms in black.
such a simple card with jsut a piece of extra palm I already had diecut for a silhouette.


this was the card we made for our class.

stamp Rays of Light in daffodil using a straight edge to mask the bottom half.

use another straight edge to use stampin blends to color the water Coastal cabana.

stamp sentiment in black and adhere the palms and grass across the bottom. 

Seagulls from a retired set but you can use seagulls from Wave of inspiration, Heron Habitat or Let's set sail. Whatever you've got should work.

CAS Brilliant Wings

 


I love the sweet font from Happiness Abounds set- I needed a quick and simple card to say thanks and this just fit the bill- used blender brush to add a bit of color onto a plain thick white CS with Polished Pink - added a butterfly i had extra cut in white stamped the sentiment and voila! a sweet little card ready to go.
