Inspired Stamps Autumn Card

Hello and welcome here!  It's time for some Inspired Stamps inspiration, this week the DT are sharing projects made with Owls, Leaves or Fall stamps.  I love Fall and decided to share an Autumn card.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
I used Inspired Stamps Leaves stamp set, I stamped the big leaf onto the Spellbinders Decorative Labels 1, and then coloured the basket with Copics and fussy cut it to add it to the card using foam squares.

I was making up several DT cards the day I was making this card and totally forgot to stamp the inside, so that is why I have no inside shot of my card, lol.

Recipe:  Inspire Stamps SS-Leaves, PP-BoBunny Forever Fall 6x6 Collection, Bazzill CS-dark burgundy, CTMH CS-White Daisy, CTMH Ink-Goldrush, Memento Black Ink, Spellbinders-Marvelous Squares & Decorative Labels 1, Foam Squares, Celebrate It 7/8" Satin Burgundy Ribbon, Copics-Basket R27, R59, E42, E43.

Heartfelt Creations New Release Sweet Juliet Collection

Hello and welcome here! It's the second Wednesday of the month and that means a New Release at Heartfelt Creations.  This New Release is called Sweet Juliet and is full of inspiration. It has card fronts (perfect for making quick cards), sentiments, 6x6 designs of the 12x12 sheets, and everything is double sided.  There are new dies too, they are unique and a lot of fun to work with.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
I loved the flowers from the Recovery Wishes stamp set and pictured them with soft pastels.  I used the subtle patterned paper from the new Antiquity paper collection and stamped my image with black ink.  I then added colour using chalk, it softens up the look.

I added a simple border towards the bottom, I used the short edge of Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8.  I stamped a circular sentiment from the Moments With You stamp set.

Inside:
Recipe:  HC PP-Antiquity Collection, HC SS-Recovery Wishes & Moments With You, CTMH Ink-Black & Slate, Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8, Pebbles Inc. Chalk-Earth Tones & Pastels, Celebrate It 3/8" Tan Grosgrain Ribbon, Viva Decor Silver Pearl Pen, Corner Rounder (Inside: HC SS-Blessings To Me, CTMH Ink Slate).

Card Size:  4.5" x 6.25"
For this card I started with one of the Card Fronts that come with the Antiquity paper collection and added a few layers.  The Antiquity paper comes with journaling pieces that you cut out and add to your scrapbook page, you can also use them for stamping a sentiment on etc., I chose to cut it down and added a hole to make it into a tag.  I matted one of the sentiments included with the paper collection and popped it onto the card.  I used the new Sweet Juliet die to make the flower which I added to the bottom corner do the card.



Inside:

Recipe:  HC PP-Antiquity Collection, HC Die-Sweet Juliet Die & Layered Scalloped Posy, Bazzill Black CS, Foam Squares, Gold Seam Binding, Recollections Pearl Brad, Tonic Studio Tag Corner Punch.
