There is also a drawing you can enter to win a Brewtiful Stamp Set.


For this fun card, I started with the Basic Rectangle Backdrop in orange and layered a Stitched Rectangle Backdrop in white, under a Signature Polka Dot Cover Plate die cut. Then added the Mug from Hug in a Mug in Orange and black, using the Pumpkin Face from Perfect Pumpkin Die Set to create that cute little Jack'O Lanter face. The Steam cut in Vellum is from Hug in a Mug Die Set as well. Added a couple of leaves from that same set. The lettters Coffee are Mini Headline Type as well as the So Many Sentiments Strip in Black as the base for the word Coffee.
Added You Make me Smile from Pumpkin Spice stamp set on another So Many Sentiments Strip and it is done!
Here is my more elegant fall card.


For this fun card, I started with the Basic Rectangle Backdrop in brown and layered a Stitched Rectangle Backdrop in cream but ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks in Wild Honey and Ripe Persimmon. Then used the Houndstooth Cover Plate die cut as a stencil and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to create the upper background.
Then using the Ornamental Octagon Stencil and Carved Pumpkin, I created a "table cloth" of sorts. 
Using a brown 1/4" sentiment strip as my "table". The mug is from Hug in a Mug die set stenciled using the Signature Polka Dot Stencil and silver ink.
The beautiful mum is our Garden Mum that came out this summer, layered in a rusty red cardstock and surrounded by leaves from our Prize Poinsettia! The vellum steam is from Cozy Cup! Pumpkin Spice Stamp set and a Mini Slimline Banner complete the card.

Thanks again for hoping! Enjoy your weekend!
