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!

Happy Wednesday, Bunny here again and you know how I love the Beautiful Butterfly die!!!

So here it is using Jillian's new Bold Blooms and Garden Mum Die Sets.

I started with the Square Quatrefoil Create A Card Die Set cut from White cardstock as the card base,

I cut the Beautiful Butterfly die out of black cardstock, twice, so I could layer it and pop up the top layer wings.

Then I created several small blooms using Jillian's new Garden Mum Mega Die Set as well as the Bold Blooms Mega Die Set and the Petal Pusher Stylus and Shaping Mat.  They are both just gorgeous floral dies! So many options and possibilities and you can make them all look SO different and in so many sizes!

I added the word die cut "hope" from the Slimline Heart Window Cover Plate Die Set in pink and layered that over black just for a dimensional effect.

Another fairly quick and elegant card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Today I am using a couple of new die sets. The Square Quatrefoil Create A Card Die Set and the Garden Mum Mega Die Set. 

This release, the die sets are LARGE, and impressive!

The Square Quatrefoil Create A Card Die Set measures 5.125" square for the base, and 4.75" for the Quatrefoil Layer. It creates such an elegant look!

The Garden Mum Mega Die Set will create blooms from  .85" to 2.75"

When layering them, determine the overall size and cut your largest one twice, then just layer down to the smallest one depending on how full you want your bloom.

These can be shaped with our Petal Pushes Stylus and Shape Up Mat for added dimension.

For my card today, I started with the mat layer of the Square Quatrefoil Create A Card Die Set cut in White cardstock, then I added a tone on tone Quatrefoil Layer.

To create a card that opens, just score 1/2" from the top or side depending on which type of format you would like. Then glue that lined up with the edge and easy peasy you have a card with space on the inside to write your message.

I then cut our of pale pink cardstock, the mum layers, I used the largest available and cut it twice, then just kept layering while shaping with my Petal Pushes Stylus and Shape Up Mat. I determined which size I wanted for the smaller ones and cut 2 of the base petals for those.

The leaves were some water colored card stock that Jillian had added to our stash!

Yellow centers complete the Garden Mums.

Grateful for you is from our Fresh Florals Cascade Die Set as is the sentiment flag. The sentiment "For your friendship" is from Fresh Florals Cascade Stamp Set.
This is one of our go to sets for sentiments!

Thanks again and we will see you tonight at 7 pm EST!
