Fall Acorn Card - TMS #576

Hello! It's time to start another new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this weeks sketch was designed by Melissa Craig. I decided to use the new Big Acorn stamp by Lawn Fawn for this Fall Acorn Card. Five acorns were stamped using Memento black ink, colored with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating die. Green and brown look good together, so I decided on a green plaid paper by Lawn Fawn. The sentiment is by Impression Obsession and was stamped with Memento black ink. Before adhering to the card base I used Java chalk ink around the edge of the paper and that's it. We would love for you to join us this week! You have until 8 pm EST to link your creation to the challenge. For all the details and design team inspiration click HERE. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Fall Acorn Hi Cards

Good day crafty friends! There is only 12 days until the arrival of fall/autumn here in the United States and that makes me very happy. We were lucky enough to have a cold front push through our area and the temperatures feel like fall. Since this year has been challenging for most, I decided to send simple fall cards to family. These Fall Acorn Hi Cards are easy to make and flat for hassle free shipping. When I make multiples of the same layout I always change the papers. Rarely will I make two identical cards. The acorn is from the retired Acorny Thank You stamp set by Stampin' Up! and it was punched with the coordinating punch. I've been hoarding my fall paper pads for awhile, so the papers are from several different pads and scraps. Well, that's about it. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Vintage Leaves Thankful Card

Good day! It's been raining all day here in Oklahoma so I seized the opportunity to play in my craft room. It's a little sad to admit but I've had these Vintage Leaves stamped and cut out on my desk for at least three weeks. I've been busy sewing and never got around to finishing the intended card. Better late than never I guess! This Vintage Leaves Thankful Card was made with all Stampin' Up! supplies. The patterned papers are retired but all the stamps and twine are currently available.

The stamp sets used include:

• Vintage Leaves (138802)
• Acorny Thank You (139718)  

For the card base a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock was used and the edges were distressed with Crumb Cake ink. A layer of Soft Suede was matted to the patterned paper that was also distressed with Crumb Cake. The stamped pieces were attached and the twine wrapped around the matted panel before the entire piece was attached to the card base. That's it! 

This Vintage Leaves Thankful Card is entered into the following challenges:

• SU-Only: Fall Fun 
• QKR Stampede: Give Thanks
• Dragonfly Dreams: Fall Colours
• Classy Cards 'n Such: Thankful
