Autumn Card Challenge Using A World With Octobers Stamp Set

I made a process video showing the A World With Octobers Stamp and Thin Cut set to make a card combining the Atlantic Hearts Card Sketch 444 and Color My Heart Color Dare 467 challenges. This is a slimline card with dimensions of 3 ½ x 8 1/2. The Sage cardstock is that size while the Sundance cardstock is 3 x 8. The pumpkins are cut in Papaya and Sundance cardstock.


Here is the process video:  


The supplies used to create this card:


Any item not linked is sold out, temporarily. The Thankful script die is discontinued now, but a "Thanks" Thin Cut set is available and has a wonderful shadow around it. There's also Woodland Friends Stamp & Thin Cuts that is a very sweet set that can be used to make friendship cards and it has a "Thankful" thin cut included with a wonderful script font. Either set would be a great substitute. I love the thickness of the Woodland Friends thankful, it would be easier to handle than the one I used.

Any gold loose sequins or self stick gems you have in your stash can be used to bling it up.

Thanks Thin Cuts
 



I enjoyed making this card and will be sending it out to a friend that is in need of a little cheer. Any of us can use a little cheer as the cooler weather starts rolling in!

My Interpretation of the Atlantic Hearts Card Challenge 440

 This is my interpretation of the AHCS 440 sketch. I love the monarch butterfly and have used it many times. I never grow tired of it. The wood background adds to the outside feel and the Sundance cardstock goes with the sunflowers. The shimmer trim just adds some glitz for happiness! I made a video showing how I put the card together. The challenge blogs are great for finding sketches to make cards or scrapbook pages. The Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge give you a palette. You are set to go!!!

Here is my card and envelope:
