A Fall Themed Swing Card for the Paper Players

Hello!!

It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood!  Not fall temperatures yet, but I couldn't resist the challenge from the Paper Players.

I decided to play with some of the new thinlits.  Here's my Fall-themed swing card:

The colors are very fall-ish.  I really am enjoying the new Sweater Weather Designer Series paper.  There's some very nice plaids.

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Magnificent Maple, Tags 4 You

Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, Crushed Curry

Paper: Sweater Weather DSP

Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic Ink

Accessories: Candy dots, linen thread

I hope you're have a wonderful day and make a little time for creating!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas In July!

Hello Friends!

I was NOT prepared for the challenge from the Paper Players this week.  (PP153)

Christmas in JULY!?!?  Already?!?!  I guess it's time!  I haven't placed a pre order for new stuff from the new Holiday Mini catalog yet, so I decided to just use some things I already had.  What do you think?

I started with the Christmas greeting from 'That's the Ticket', then I added the images from 'Daydream Medalions' because I thought they looked like a Christmas wreath.  By the time I finished adding the pennants and the ribbon, I feel like I ended up with a 'homecoming mum' of sorts..... instead of a Christmas wreath.

I'm happy with all the layers, and I love the new embellishments, but the Pistachio Pudding ink didn't photograph well.  So, maybe I'm not quite ready for Christmas in July!?  Maybe I need a few more days of just plain old summer!

Supplies:

Stamps: That's the Ticket, Daydream Medallions

Ink: Real Red, Pistachio Pudding

Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Pistachio Pudding, Real Red, In color paper stack

Big Shot: Petals a plenty impressions folder, Floral Frames Framlits

Accessories: Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, In Color Boutique Details

Thanks for looking!
