September's Card Swap

For September's Unit Meeting we were suppose to do a card with an Autumn theme. Here is a few from the meeting: Amy's Card above uses the Stamp Of the Month for September (Which I have an extra set and I love this one!). Bev's Card below has Nature's Veins stamp set, brads and Colonial White ribbon featuring the crochet ribbon in the collection.

Then there is my card. I used Neighborhood stamp set and Nature's Veins too. The leaves are Sunkissed Yellow and rocked onto Holiday Red and Citrus Leaf. I crumpled them up and put a foam square under them for depth. I stamped the houses twice and cut out part of the house and roof. Using foam squares I gave it raised 3D look. I stamped the trees in Citrus Leaf, then the trunks were tapped onto the Chocolate ink pad. I then rocked the edges of the leaves in Orange Ink, and I tipped a few areas in Holiday Red Ink - giving it a fall look. No 2 trees were alike!

The tires on the car are silver Bity Brads. The car was Grey Wool Ink. Brown Bag Ink and cardstock was for the house and background. I used a Nestibilites die to cut out the Colonial White CS and I shaded the inside with Bamboo Ink while the die stayed on the paper so that the embossed edge stayed clean and free of ink - great 2 tone effect.

I'm bad. I broke down and bought Nestibilities. I told myself I have the Cricut and the Cuttlebug, I don't need those dies, but I got one set and I'm hooked! I found a company on Amazon is selling them for around $13 a set ($25.95 at the local Hobby store) and if you spend enough (you don't need to hear the details) shipping is free! I wasn't sure about the Heart set with scalloped edges til I brought it home and played with it. I cut out 3 hearts from Colonial White cardstock. Using my finger, I took baby pink chalk and rubbed it on the edges of the paper so that the embossing shows up. When you layer them on top of each other it's looks 3D (don't know if the photos do it justice.) Now to come up with a Valentine card for it. The paper it's sitting on for the photo is from That's Amore paper kit that just came out this month.
