Fall Leaf

Today's card is most definitely clean and simple!  The leaf is from the Colorful Season stamp set. After stamping the vein layer of the leaf, I inked the solid leaf using Crushed Curry ink, sponging the edges using a sponge dauber and Tangerine Tango ink directly on the inked stamp before stamping on the card.. The leaf does have a die to match in the Seasonal Layers Thinlets set.  I did not use it as I wanted to make a card that truly was simple.  I like the stamp set and there are many great images in the set.  The thinlets set includes that cute Adirondack chair, leaves, snowflakes and more.  This stamp set and dies purchase was another smart purchase!  Have a great day!

Pretty Daisies

When friends were here last week, Kathy Z made a side step card using Stampin' Up's Delightful Daisy DSP and Night of Navy cardstock.  The coordinating daisy punch seemed a little too big, so Kathy fussy cut daisies from the paper for her card.  It turned out to be very pretty.  Using Kathy's idea, I looked to see what daisies were in the Cricut Design Space and there were a few.  I chose two for today's card, making them different sizes.  I have the choice of adding a piece of white cardstock on the inside or on the back for a handwritten note or stamped message.   Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Happy Thoughts


Today's card screams Fall!  The Cajun Craze layer was created using my Cricut Explore. It is an image in Design Studio.  I sized it at 5" x 3-3/4".  The sentiment is from Pretty Pink Posh and fits nicely in the oval space.  The card was very pretty just like that but I felt the card needed an embellishment or two!  So I die cut stitched leaves from Lawn Fawn.  Have a great day!

Detailed Florist Thinlets

Last week a few of us got together and we shared stamping stuff.  I do not own the Detailed Florist Thinlets in the Annual Catalog, but I was able to use Kathy Z's set.  It is an extremely beautiful thinlets set as you can see from today's card.  I still have another diecut piece from the thinlets in Night of Navy cardstock that will be used on another card in the future.  Have a great day!
