Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Autumn!

6 Comments

So happy you are hopping through our October Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring cards for the season we have right now! Being in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Autumn, my favorite season! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Frosted Forest Decorative Masks (#164350), a part of the Frosted Forest Bundle (#164137) which also includes the Frosted Forest Stamp Set (#164344).

My card base is Cajun Craze, with a layer of Crushed Curry. Next, I cut a strip of the Regals DSP (#163774) and added it over the Crushed Curry. The top layer was cut from Basic Beige using the Countryside Corners Dies (#161471). I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and Pecan Pie. Using Blending Brushes (#153611) and Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry and the masks, I colored the tree. The masks make it so easy to create a beautiful, realistic tree!! A few flicks with an Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker for grass completed my card.

Thanks for hopping with us this month. Next go to –> Tracy’s blog to see what she has created.

Welcome to our October Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog post to blog post, instead of hop!! We are featuring Christmas cards this month!

 Here is a sneak peek of my card.

The card base is night of Navy, 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next is a layer of Winter Meadow DSP (#162133). The trees are die cut using the Decorative Trees Dies (#164084) using Basic White, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy. Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) and a little wink of stella (#141897) add some sparkle to the trees, to complete my card. It looks better in person!
