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!

I created a couple of fun cards, simple yet fun!

Simple Pumpkin themed mug holding some yummy Pumpkin Spice Latte!

I started with Catherine Pooler Twilight Ink and my Weathered Wood INKboss Plate (retiring, so if you want one you better grab it quick!), it gives a great textured background. Then I cut 2 Stitched Plaid Cover Plates one in golden yellow cardstock and one in White. Here is the trick with this...if you flip one of them, you can create a 2 color plaid! It is so much fun!

Then I used the Hug in a Mug die set to cut out the mug shape, added the "steam" and spoon from the Cozy Cup Die Set. I love how Jillian makes them all sized great to work with each other! Stamped the mug with the Dainty Dots Background Builder Stamp using Wendy Vecchi's Archival Ink in Golden Rod, it was perfect for that cardstock color! The Pumpkin is from Hootie Halloween Die Set and the sentiment from Pumpkin Spice Stamp Set  and stamped on a Sentiment Strip using the new Ranger Black Soot Distress Archival ink.

A little black bird enjoying his Pumpkin Spice Latte!

This mini card is perfect for adding a nice Coffee Gift Card to the inside!

I just took the largest die of the Slimline Essentials Die Set and made my Mini Card Base by folding it in half. I added the branch and Spring Birdie, cut in Black to be a cute little black crow! Holding his cup from the original Hootie the Owl Die Set (it is larger than the one included in the Spring Birdie Die Set) then stamped the pumpkin face on from Pumpkin Spice Stamp Set using the new Archival Black Soot Distress Ink from Ranger! Sentiment is from the Pumpkin Spice Stamp Set and also stamped in the same ink.

Inside I will add a nice coffee shop gift card secured by another sentiment strip from the  Slimline Essentials Die Set  

Quick and easy gift card!

This was a fun card! The Slimline Essentials Backdrop Die Set makes a great base for the Slimline card. Layer the Slimline Stitched Plaid Cover Plate under the Slimline Peace, Love & Rainbows Slimline Circle Window Cover Plate so that plaid peeks through! Add Mr. Hootie and Ms. Hootie with their coffee cups which is included in the Hootie the Owl Die Set. The sentiment is from OWL Ocassions Stamp Set!
