Stamp Off Fall Beautiful Trees


 Greetings and welcome to another Stamp Off challenge 
with Susan, Buffy and me!  This week, our challenge is
to use the Colors of Fall.


I made two cards for this challenge, and it kind of came
down to which one was easier to photograph.  When it comes
to colors of fall, you don't have to go any further than the
Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (DSP) on page 130.
This DSP is so beautiful, lending itself to both fall and winter
projects.

I used the dies from Beautiful Trees on page 158, in order
to create the tree elements.  The background layer was run
through the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder on page 55
of the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog.  I always need
thinking of you cards, so used the sentiment from 
Simply Succulents on page 35 of the annual catalog.

Thank you so much for clicking by.  Please check out
the wonderful fall color cards created by Buffy and Susan.

Hand Penned DSP Going in Circles


 A while back, we had a "Going in Circles" Stamp Off
challenge.  I made this card as one of my possibilities.
This is such a quick card, that uses up some of those DSP
scraps.  I liked these soft colors from the Hand Penned DSP
pack on page 131, with the addition of a bit of Pale
Papaya ribbon.  The Genial Gems on page 142 help to
pull all of the colors together, as well as reinforcing
the circles theme!

Quiet Meadow with Ornate Layers Dies


 The Quiet Meadow stamp set, on page 110, really
lends itself to 3 X 6 cards.  It has many tall elements that
can be used on this card format.  In this example, I stamped
flowers, added some of the spatter and then cut it out with
the Ornate Layers dies on page 164.
