Tri-City Stampers Fall Blog Hop!

Welcome friends to the Tri-City Stampers monthly blog hop!  I'm not excited to see summer go, but, truth be known, I LOVE the fall.  I was out for a country drive yesterday and saw leaves turning to gorgeous fall colours.  Amazing!

Our blog hop this month showcases FALL - yay!  I was so inspired by my country drive yesterday, I decided to feature leaves on my card.  What a mix in this card - rustic, textures and a bit of bling.

I started with a Basic Black base and layer.  The layer was embossed using my Petal Burst TIEF.  Before adhering the layer, I attached Burlap Ribbon with glue dots.  Then using one of my Stitched Shape Framelits, I die cut the square in Copper Foil Sheet paper, which I then popped up with Dimensionals. Next, I stamped the leaf from the Colourful Seasons Bundle onto Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, and Garden Green, using Early Espresso ink.

This lovely sentiment is from the Ribbon of Courage set.  Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the sentiment onto Wood Textures DSP, then die cut the circle with my Stitched Shape Framelits. 

Each of the leaves are popped up using Dimensionals. Depth and texture - love!

I'm lovin' the  Wood Textures DSP, thus here it is on the inside of the card.  The sentiment and leaves, both from the Colourful Seasons Bundle, are stamped in Early Espresso.

Colour Theory & Colourful Seasons

I have a treat for you today!  As mentioned in a previous post, I did a workshop where the ladies all made four cards, and I'll be showing you one of those cards today, plus a similar card I made for an anniversary.  Two cards today!

I kind of had my doubts about the Colour Theory DSP, but I'm sooooo over it! The ombre paper I used for the layer is fabulous, and in that same DSP pack was the paper I die cut for the flowers. It has a crackle look it it, adding another dimension to the flowers - love!!

 I used the dies from the Colourful Seasons bundle for the flowers.  The sentiment & branch, also from the Colourful Seasons bundle are both stamped in Crumb Cake ink. I used my Pretty Label punch for the sentiment, then added a few Glitter Enamel Dots for a wee sparkle.

Some of the flowers were adhered with my Fine Tip Glue Pen, and the balance of the flowers, plus the sentiment are popped up with dimensionals.  I finally got to use my mini dimensionals - they are the perfect size for small cutouts!  

Here are a couple of pic from the workshop

Now for my second card - a lovely 60th Anniversary card.  Once again I used paper from the Colour Theory DSP., for the layer and flowers.  I'm always happy to bring out the Glimmer Paper, and especially for such a momentous occasion! Sixty years is extraordinary!!

 I used my Happy Birthday Thinlit, and easily cut 'Birthday' from it, then die cut the 6 & 0 from my Large Numbers Framelits.  The 'th' and word Anniversary stamped on the inside of the card are both from the Number of Years stamp set.

The picture doesn't do this card justice - the glimmer is spectacular!

Here's the inside of the card.  I used Smoky Slate ink for the sentiment.  I hope you can see the Whisper White die cut flowers.  They add a simple, yet elegant touch.
