Beautiful Fall Colors with Gently Falling

With this card I have showcased some of the beautiful fall colors.  I think leaves in general are very soothing, and the richness of fall colors just magnifies that feeling.  This card has a base of Pumpkin Pie with layers of Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry (the "other" fall color).  The richness of these colors together is just breathtaking!  Inks used were Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Pumpkin Pie.  To create this effect of the falling leaves, I simply stamped several leaf images in different colors, then topped it with the outline image in Rich Razzleberry.  I ran the Old Olive strip through the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder and flagged the ends to give it more texture and interest, then popped up the leaf panel on Dimensionals.  I love this card--it looks so stunning and is very quick and easy to make.

Soccer Card

This is another birthday card I made for my nephew.  I thought a fun shaped soccer ball card would be perfect for him.  For this card I used the 3 1/2" Bigz Die to cut out the shape, then ran it through the Honeycomb Embossing Folder with the Big Shot.  I ran a Basic Black piece of card stock through the same folder and cut out some of the hexagon shapes to create the soccer ball effect.  The sentiment is from retired stamp set Happiest Birthday Wishes.

Lego Birthday

Today I wanted to share with you the fun birthday card I made for my son, Zachary.  It's definitely a bit unconventional, especially since it's for his 18th birthday!  I chose to make it fun and creative, since he is so very creative and still loves to build and create with Legos.  Honestly, he really does!  After he creates detailed scenes and men with them, he takes hundreds of photos and makes stop-motion videos which he then sets to music, adds sound effects, and enters some into contests.  So that's a bit of the background as to why I chose this for his birthday.  This incredible creativity truly is who he is and I hope he always nurtures that creative soul.

The card is a center step card, giving it lots of dimension.  The sentiments are from Delightful Dozen and Remembering Your Birthday.  I just love all the fun messages in both of these sets, don't you?  I used bold primary colors Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point.  The little circles on the Legos were made with the 1/2" circle punch and sponged with the coordinating color to give it a little depth.  I also popped them up on Dimensionals.  I think they really do look like Legos!

Of course, I had to make a custom envelope using my Envelope Punch Board, as I extended the Legos off the edges of the card, so it wouldn't fit into a standard envelope.
