Hi friends! There is a lot going on this weekend! Happy World Card Making Day! Are you stamping today? Getting together with friends? I hope you have a great day ahead. The hubs and I are headed out to take a nice long drive and hang out together…headed up to Lake Tahoe. This past Wednesday was our wedding anniversary and it's so hectic to try to do something special during the work week. When we were dating we always used to go for long drives and talk and talk, so DH decided that's what we should do, and I can't wait! We'll take some pictures (see if we can find some Fall foliage) and have a nice dinner….Yay! The weather FINALLY turned today and it was the most glorious day.
Do you ever buy new stamping stuff and you can't wait to use it…and it sits on your desk…and you're so excited when you get to make something with it? Well, that's what happened with the things I used for today's project! I bought the new PTI pumpkin dies last month and wanted to make something cute for Fall…so here it is! A pumpkin card!
How can you go wrong with orange gingham? The sentiment stamp is from PTI also. The pretty leaves are the mini leaves dies from Taylored Expressions…It all works together so nicely!
I think these would make such nice Thanksgiving invitations or place cards for an Autumn table. I wish I had time to make a bunch more! Maybe I'll find some time here in the next few weeks….
Here's how the die comes out of your cutting machine…all in perfect sections.
The solid die folds into a card base (A2) and then you cut one more to mount your sections onto…
I used some distress ink on the edges of my sections to give more dimension. The center section was mounted onto some foam tape. At the last minute I changed my mind and made the stem brown instead of green.
Blessed…that's how I feel today!
In honor of World Card Making Day (and month), Taylored Expressions is having some very fun challenges! CLICK HERE for more details and join in on the festivities! Have a great day everyone!
