Fall is when nature turn to gold!

Morning Crafters...
 Happy Friday to you all.  This post is a few days late....
Fall is finally here!!!! My favorite time of the year... I just love seeing all the different color changes of the leaves before they fall to the ground, then raking them up and jumping into the piles!!!  This week over at Hiding in My Craft Room the challenge # 164  is " Think Fall".  For my card, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.. now actually getting the perfect look was harder then I thought...
 Here is a picture:

Stamp set used is Autumn Foliage from Inkadinkado

Card-stock from my stash...

Tiny leaves cut with punch from Recollection

I had a little difficult time getting the look I wanted of the leaves changing colors, and in the end used distress inks on the stamp and using a watercolor brush filled in the colors....This is the first time that I have used technique to color my images and am proud of the way it turned out.... I then punched out the tiny leaves and added them as accents.  

The sketch for this card is from the Mojo Monday # 362

Not too sure who I am going to give this card to at this time, but sure had tons of fun making it!!!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card... Be sure to leave a comment... I love to hear your thoughts...  And "Follow" my blog for more exciting creation in the future.

Sweet Baby-Pop up gift card holder

Hi crafters!! 
Recently on the Cricut Cut Ups facebook page.. fellow crafters had posted some pictures of wonderful gift hard holders they had made from the inspiration of Mary over @ Cardztv ...
Well, of course I had to try my hand at it too...
Here is my version of the pop up gift card holder...

 

 

I have a few friends that are expecting now and thought I would be proactive and get some baby shower cards made and ready ahead of time... I had this cute designer paper stack from DCWV called Nana's Nursery: Baby Boy.  I used the inside DP from that stack.. The paper was suppose to be on the outside, but I goofed and glued all the pieces in the same direction, but when folded, the bottom piece was upside down... Word of advise for all, make sure of the direction of any printed pattern paper before you permanently glue it in place!!!!   It still looks nice on the inside...   I cut out the "congratulations" and  baby rattle die cut from my Cricut New Arrivals cartridge and cut the rattle @ 1 3/4inch and the "congrats" @ 2 inches.  "100% Princess" sentiment is from Jaded Blossom. 

Instruction and measurements to make this card can be found over at Mary's blog or YouTube Channel... or click on link here....Pop up gift card holder video.

 

In addition to giving this card as a gift, I was planning on submitting it into the following challenges

1)  fantabulouscricut : Challenge #226- Kids Theme.. I figured babies are still considered kids... just very tiny and cuddly kids. 

2) Craftin Desert Divas: : Craft it up-Link it up Linky Party # 39- Any thing goes.... I am trying something new and thought it would be great to showcase it here.....

3) Hiding in my craft-room:  HIMCR #163- Freestyle
