Autumn Days Wreath


I kept seeing all these darling wreaths made out of other stamps like leaves and berries, pine cones, etc. and I knew I couldn't resist trying myself. This was my first try and I'm sure it would have been a little better if I masked a circle. But I just free-handed. It turned out better than I expected, hehe. This leaf (as well as the little berry thingy-sounds official, doesn't it?) is from the Autumn Days stamp set.

Items Used:
Ink: Soft Suede (115657), Crushed Curry (115659), Dusty Durango (115654), Real Red (103133)
Paper:
, Soft Suede (115318), Crushed Curry (115319), Dusty Durango (115321), Whisper White (100730)
Accessories: Crushed Curry Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon (115614)

She was thrilled to use my Big Shot and make the butterfly using Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful Butterflies die. This card went to our teenage neighbor for all her help playing with the kids this summer. I hate to see it end :( I loved the much needed time to myself for a couple hours a week....

Teddy Card


I made this card for a friend who just found out she is pregnant. How exciting! I have seen some similar cards and loved them.I needed it to be neutral in color, so I choose Certainly Celery and of course Chocolate Chip. Chocolate Chip is a staple for me. I use it with just about everything! This stamp set is just adorable. The sentiment is from the Nursery Necessities Set. I colored the teddy bear using the Stampin' Pastels and Blender Pens. So quick and easy :)

Stamps: Teddy and Train (115219), Nursery Necessities (113506)
Ink: Chocolate Chip (100908) and Jet Black Stazon (101406)

As backgrounds, main images, etc. I already have so many other ideas of what to do with it along with so many I want to copy (CASE). So don't be surprised if you see it quite a bit in the next few days ;). This card was really easy and fast, but still beautiful!
