Soft Seedlings

The evenings are getting cooler and it won’t be long before the days are noticeably shorter, fall is right around the corner. While I’ll miss the pace summer and it’s warm sunny days I always enjoy, today’s project is inspired by those fall colors we’ll be seeing soon.

The Soft Seedlings stamp set (159905) from our Mini Catalog was used to create this lovely card.

This set with it’s lovely font and sentiments is perfect for techniques with its Distinktive images.

For this card a bit of color has been added to the stem with an Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker and then Cajun Craze has been added to the leaves and seeds using a Sponge Dauber. After that another Sponge Dauber added a bit of Early Espresso to the tips for a bit more color giving it an Autumn feel. Our Layering Diorama Dies (155565) were used to layer the image and the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) with their fun stitched edges were used to pop up the sentiment. Interest was added to the background layer with the seeding images and a bit more sponging to add a bit of interest.

So what do you think? Do the colors used for this card evoke the feel of fall to you?

Sale-a-brate with Hippest Hippos

Sale-a-bration is in full swing and so I thought I’d share some wonderful swaps I received using the Hippest Hippos stamp set (Sale-a-bration 159921) and their coordinating Hippo Dies (Sale-a-bration 159928) with you.

This is one of my favorite Sale-a-bration choices, after all I love the cute little images and punny sayings. And with coordinating dies also available it makes options endless! How about you, did it catch your eye?

This first card uses simple stamping and adds a bit of texture with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820) and Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (149643).

And this next card team the little guy with the Layering Diorama Dies (155565) and Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505).

This next card makes me smile with it’s cheerful colors and fun fold.

The card base measures 6 3/8″ x 5 1/2″ and is scored at the normal 4 1/4″ giving it a fun feel. The focal point is attached on the left card front but hangs over the right inside of the card giving it a fun whimsical feel. And how about this last card and it’s clever use of the Designer Series Paper?

The Light Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (159535) has been trimmed along the scallop in the pattern to create the stage curtain and a piece of vellum has been sponged to create the spot light. So fun.
