The Best Kind of Days

One of my team members made this card and I knew that I needed to CASE (copy & share everything) it for my sisters.

Debbie was so kind to prepare a kit for me and then I could use her measurements to create two more.

My sisters and I are VERY close. Two of us live close enough to spend time together and one lives in Arizona (a great place to visit BTW). 

We have all been through a bunch of "stuff" this year with our dad being in the hospital in April, then moving him into a home. Getting his condo cleared out and prepped for sale was a HUGE endeavor, but we finally closed on that last Friday, then three of us celebrated with a lunch out together. I wanted to give each of them one of these cards to tell them how much I love them. Sister #4 will get her card when we meet up in Colorado Springs for a wedding that we are both attending.

Isn't this just the cutest!! Our family are HUGE Pooh fans and this couldn't be more appropriate with all the Pooh gang having a meal together.

The tree die cut comes from a retired set called AUTUMN TREES

Here are the measurements if you are interested in duplicating this card

Base: 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2"

Old Olive embossed with the 100 Acre Woods Embossing Folder:

4" x 5-1/4" & 4" x 2-1/2" Also a 1" x 11" scored at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2"

You will also need some scrap to die cut the leaves in the foreground of the tree.

Mossy Meadow: Die cut one tree from Autumn Leaves - you will need to trim off the tree trunk as shown

Scrap piece to die cut the piece from SWEET WORDS & LABELS

Pecan Pie: Die cut one tree from Autumn Leaves

Designer Paper: SILLY OLD BEAR 3/4" x 1-1/2" scored at 5-3/8" & 8-1/8"

Cut the image from the designer paper. I used the (retired) Deckled Rectangles, but it's not a necessary step

Also die cut (or fussy cut) a Pooh bear from the designer paper. Same thing for the row of honey pots.

Very Vanilla: Scrap to stamp the sentiment from Sweet Words & Labels, and one piece at 4" x 5-1/4" for the back of the card where you will write your personal message.

Autumn Toile

Today I am featuring two cards using the AUTUMN TOILE Designer Paper

They also both feature the AUTUMN TREES Stampe Set and Dies.

Inspired by Instagram

I have used the cute little deer die a LOT!

Even though the designer paper is in Mossy Meadow I colored the tree using Old Olive Blends. I tried it in Mossy Meadow but found it to be way too dark.

The HAPPY BIRTHDAY is from SIMPLY SAID

Inspired by Annette

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN NOVEMBER, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE FRIENDLY FOLIAGE BUNDLE

Autumn Toile

I love the autumn themed stamps and designer papers that came out this year and the AUTUMN TOILE designer paper is perfect because instead of 2 - 12x12 sheets of DSP in each pattern you get 3. This really helps me out when I am planning for classes.

These are two of the cards that I recently made for my Tuesday stampers

For this first card I fussy cut the tree w/the deer out from 3 sheets of the DSP which gave me 15 of the trees (5 per sheet), then I cut up a 4th sheet (because I bought 2 packs) for the 2" x 4" strips on the left.

The embossing folder is BIRCHWOOD, and the rectangles are cut from TEXTURED NOTES

The stamp set used is THE RIGHT WORDS cut out with the banner die from STYLISH SHAPES. 

Inspired by Terri Gaines

This second card was also inspired by Terri Gaines.

From the scraps I had left over from the designer paper after cutting out all of the trees and cutting the 2" x 4" pieces, I was able to get 14- 2" x 4-3/4" for the large banner because the Early Espresso check pattern is the backside of the tree pattern. Love how that turned out.

The "Happy Birthday" is also from THE RIGHT WORDS stamp set.

The Doe & Fawn Dies cut is from AUTUMN TREES. I cut them out from Very Vanilla Card Stock and then colored with Dark Pecan Pie and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends. The banners were cut out with Stylish Shapes.

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN SEPTEMBER, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE PINE TREE TRIMMINGS BUNDLE
