Seasons may change ...

I have created this shaped easel card using a topper and papers from the Hunkydory Autumn Days collection, I often find it difficult to use the toppers these days, I think it is all of the gold on them!

I fussy cut a sentiment from another topper and used it as the stopper for the easel and added a fussy cut butterfly and bow, the sentiment reads "Seasons may change but our Friendship remains", I thought it was really nice.

Loveliest Smile

This is another card that I have created with the Hunkydory Autumn Days collection, this time I have used a topper from the Luxury Topper Collection.

I used one of the papers from the 8 x 8 paper pad along with some gold Mirri card stock, I cut an additional border from the papers so that I could add it to the bottom as well as the top.  I added a sentiment from the topper collection and fussy cut an additional bow so that I could layer it up.

Sunshine & Smiles

This is another card that I have created with my Hunkydory Autumn Days collection, aren't these papers absolutely gorgeous.

I have used four of the gorgeous papers, a dark one to mat the other three with. The sentiment is from the Autumn Days collection and I used some of the leaf dies from the Nature's Garden Autumn Blessings collection by Crafter's Companion, I cut them from the reverse of the patterned papers, I just added a twine bow and fussy cut butterfly to finish.

Autumn Days

As soon as I saw the Autumn Days collection by Hunkydory I just had to get it, I love the gorgeous colours and pretty images.

I used papers from the 8 x 8 paper pad, there are four copies of each one and I used all four of this one.  I fussy cut the beautiful image so that I could layer it up, there are three layers, I used the other copy for the base, folding down the corner to add a little detail to the card, I secured the folded corner with a button tied with twine and added a sentiment from the Luxury Topper Collection.

Crunchy Leaves

I have been having another play with my Kaisercraft Fallen Leaves Collection, this time I've created a more complex card with lots of layers and dimension.

Everything is from the Kaisercraft collection with the exception of the doily which is a Dress My Craft die and the frame, this is from the Mintay Frame Book.  There are a few die cut elements from the Collectables, a couple of banners and sentiment from the 6 x 6 paper pad and some fussy cut elements from the 12 x 12 paper pad, the papers are a mixture from both the 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 paper pads.

Treasure the Days

I have another Autumn themed card to share today, this time I have used the beautiful Kaisercraft Fallen Leaves collection.

This is a very simple design, I have used two of the papers and a sentiment from the die cut collection.  I decided to use Gold Mirri to mat my papers because there are gold accents on the leaf paper and added some gold diamond sparkle gems to finish.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Autumn Time

Whilst I had my Graphic 45 - Time to Flourish collection on my desk I decided to create a card with the leftover pieces from the September pages.

My Inspiration came from one of the Project Sheets on the Graphic 45 website, I changed it up a bit to make it my own.

Autumn paints ...

I was having a browse on Pinterest and I came across a tutorial to create a square diagonal double pocket card, you can find it HERE, so I thought I would have a go.

I made mine from Kraft card stock and used papers and elements from the Authentique Splendor collection to decorate it.  Instead of adding tags I have added three Ephemera Cards, you could write a greeting on the back of them or add a gift card.

Blessings

This is another card created with the Authentique Splendor collection.

This is a very similar design to the card that I blogged yesterday but I think it looks completely different. Everything is from the collection, all I have added is some brown card stock and buttons.

Autumn Pals

I picked up the Autumn Pals collection from The Paper Tree, I love the pretty images and papers in this collection - I think Sunflowers are my favourite, we always grow them in the garden and then put the flower heads out for the birds when they have dried out.

I decided to create a tri-fold card, I used two papers from the Essential Card Collection to create the tags and fussy cut the flowers from one of the toppers.  If you buy the complete collection there is a Die Cut Collection with lots of toppers, sentiments and borders, there is also a Decorative Paper Collection and an Essential Card Collection.

This is the card opened out, I created a little flip out on the centre panel and a pocket to place a small card in on the largest panel.

This is the back of the flip out and the card that I put in the pocket, you can write your greeting in the card.

School Days

This is the second card that I have created with my Graphic 45 Place in Time collection, I used the September papers again.

I cut six small squares from one of the papers and arranged them on my card with a couple of borders across the centre, I then fussy cut all of the stamps and the little tag and added them using foam pads for dimension.  All I have added is a couple of layers of card stock along with some ribbon and twine from my stash.

Autumn Time

I decided to have a play with one of the many Calendar collections that I have, I love Calendar collections - I have the Graphic 45 Time to Flourish, Place in Time and Fashion Forward.  I also have the Authentique Calendar Collection so I thought it is time that I actually used one of them.

I decided to use the Graphic 45 Place in Time Collection and started with the September pages, my inspiration came from a card created by Kathy Clement but of course I made mine a little different.  There are two sheets for each month, they are both the same and have Cut-Aparts on one side and three different patterned papers on the reverse, I used several elements from the Cut-Apart sheet and two of the papers.

September

I have created another project with my Authentique Calendar Collection - this time I have made a double Z-fold card.

I love the beautiful Autumn colours in the September papers, there are lots of fabulous Cut-Apart toppers and sentiments.  The second topper is hidden behind the one on the front until you open the card out.

I also added a little pocket in the centre to hold a tag and a journal card.

Autumn Harvest

I have cut into my Authentique Calendar Collection at last, I love this collection - there are four sheets for each Month, a sheet of toppers, one of sentiments, one patterned papers and one solids and they are all double sided.

I was inspired by Kathy Clement, she makes the most wonderful Calendar Easel Cards - mine is not as embellished or complex as hers.

I fussy cut all of the elements and used foam pads to create some dimension, the sunflowers are a Marianne CreaTables die and the buttons and twine are from my stash.

Autumn Hedgehog

I have been having another play with the first Tonic Craft Kit,  this time I have used the adorable little hedgehog stamp along with some of the leaves snipped from the large die and a couple of the smaller leaf dies.

I coloured the Hedgehog and leaves with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens.

The brick backing paper is from Anna Marie Designs, the corrugated card stock, button and twine are all from my stash.

Warm Wishes

I decided to have a play with the Sara Davies Autumn Morning Signature Collection.  I have created a card and matching pillow box.

Everything is from the Signature Collection except the ribbon and little sentiment on the pillow box which is from Craftwork Cards.

I created the pillow box with a Tonic die.

I think Autumn is my favourite season, I love the colours and sometimes the weather can be really nice - not too hot and not too cold.

Thanks for everything

I was invited to join the Quick Cards Made Easy Reader Design Team again this month and was sent the lovely Autumn themed bonus papers to create a card.

My card is on the Quick Cards Facebook page and should be in the digital edition of the magazine.

The papers and sentiment are from the bonus papers, I just added some co-ordinating card stock.

The flowers are a Joy Crafts stamp, I fussy cut them and layered them up - I created the card candy by die cutting some small circles and adding 3D Crystal Lacquer.
