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:

An Autumn Card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 438

 Autumn is close and I am ready for pumpkin pie! I use the new Pumpkin Spice papers from Close To My Heart to create it for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 438. To add interest I used a wood slate embossing folder, distressed the edges with Toffee ink, then sanded over the raised areas. I used stickers for the sentiment (so easy) and a sticker pumpkin pie. The challenges are fun to do and give you ideas for other cards and other papers. You can see the process video below.


Here's my card:

Using Your Old Stash and New Stuff for a Color Dare 461 Challenge

 I used a lot of discontinued products to make the card. The sunburst die cut has been sitting on my work area waiting for the perfect place. When I went to find my watercolor paper I found a pack of Picture My Life cards cut from watercolor cardstock with resistance patterns on them. Going through them I found hearts to go with the hearts on the sunburst paper. This is too perfect! I picked 4 Distress Oxide colors to go with the Color My Heart Color Dare 461 color wheel challenge. This is #2 of the Double Complementary Rectangle combinations that you can form. You must use the four corner colors of the rectangle. The stamp is from one of the Craft With heart Card Subscriptions. It was also perfect! Sometimes the planets align!!! Hope you enjoy my video. The Oxide goes on watercolor paper like "Butta".


Here is the card:
