Autumn Delight - TMS #367

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!    Are you ready for fall?  In our area, some leaves are already turning!  I love to see the leaves turning!  The trees are gorgeous, but it also means fall and cooler weather are on the way, and then WINTER and that (usually!) means SNOW! :)  But I'm getting ahead of myself.  Here's a fun fall card for you...

This was fun... the leaf punch that I used in the squares was my FIRST EVER punch I bought.  I got it for some fall scrapbook pages.  The squares are from a CM square punch that I got very soon after the leaf.   They are OLD!!! :D  My image is Autumn Delight from Miss Daisy Stamps.  The DP is digi paper from the Just Autumn Collection from We Are 3 Shop. 

Our sponsor this week is actually two sponsors and there are 3 prizes!!!!  First up we have our very own awesome former teamie - Grandma Bonnie!!!!  She now has her own digital paper shop!  WE ARE 3© SHOP. 

Bonnie's store is within the Miss Daisy Stamps shop, who is also sponsoring our challenge.

Jingle all the way - CCC #31

I hope you're enjoying your patriotic long weekend if you're in Canada or the USA.   I'm a Canadian living in the US, so I celebrate both! ;)

Here's my card for Christmas Card Challenges #31 with snow, beautiful snow!  [That's my Canadian side showing! :) ]

My fun sleigh image is from Doodle Pantry's Charlie Reindeer.   I fussy cut him so that my embossed BG would show.  I used Darice Dots Background and inked it with white ink.  The hills are cut using Memory Box Stitched Landscapes.  The sentiment is cut using CottageCutz Stiched Rectangles.  I wrapped a bit of red fiber (that I've had forever!) around the base.


The challenge is always anything goes Christmas/holiday, but this week's optional photo inspiration is "sleigh"!

Challenges...
Winter Wonderland 1-7-16 - snow much fun
Come and Get It - Christmas in July
Robyn's Fetish #323 - Christmas in July

Autumn blessings

Just a quick post for this card this evening that I want to get done before tomorrow when my laptop has to go to the doctor.  He is making funny noises when he starts up.  Hopefully, he'll be fine and fixed quickly!   [I'm going to be very sad if he doesn't get fixed!]

Have you ever made a card when you got all your supplies and had your plan and started working and it just did not come together the way you had hoped?  That's this card.  It's ok, but it sure is not what I envisioned! :/

My DP is We R Memory Keepers "Hall Pass" and I stitched the main panel to the Kraft base and then distressed all the other pieces.  The image is FTHS Cornucopia and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.

Challenges...
Use Your Stuff #196 - Thankful
Robyn's Fetish #286 - More than 2 pumpkins (I've got 3 though one is tiny!)
My Time To Craft #306 - Autumnal colours
FTHS Free Stamp of the Month October - must use Cornucopia
i {heart} sketches #123 - sketch and/or stitching

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Swing fold anniversary card

I love fun folds in cards but am often not organized enough to make them unless I "have to"!   Easel, stair step, tri-fold, cascading, and criss-cross cards are some that I have made but this is my first swing fold card.  Sometimes called a flip flop card.  I watched a youtube video, made a file for the base in MTC (because my cutter does not have measurements on the cutting bar), and here it is. 

I used Doodle Pantry's Cornflower and colored it myself.  This month, the colored version is one of the new releases.  This week  Robyn's Fetish Challenge is more than one fold which Doodle Pantry is sponsoring.

I had also printed out a 'with Sympathy' sentiment to obviously make a sympathy card, but I realized I needed an anniversary card quickly so added 'Happy Anniversary' to the inside instead.  Don't worry!  I don't think these friends even know I have a craft blog so they won't be offended that their card was originally going to be a sympathy card! :)

Pull the sides to see the 'inside' (took this before I added the pearls)

back view when opened

This was fun to make!!  Since then I found directions for using dies and making the edges of the cut decorative! :)  Will have to try that!

Made with scraps, scraps, and more scraps!! :)

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Now I need to go pack... I'm leaving for England next Sunday!! :) :) :)
