Inspirational Fall card

Hey ya'll!

Today, I am sharing a card I made with an inspiration saying and fall themed! Being in southern Texas, we don't get much of a "fall" - I mean is middle of October and our high today was 90 degrees!

Although this might not qualify as CAS, it's CAS for me! Have I mentioned how much I love Memento Inks??

I started this card with one of my newest dies by Penny Black, the Fall Leave Squares and immediately thought of SO MANY things you could do with this! However, I landed on this idea.

If you're anything like me you have some tiny scraps of paper that you just can't throw out because they're too pretty! WELL, I'm here to tell you that these are PERFECT for those tiny pieces. I cut each pattern paper at 1 1/4 in x 1 1/4 in.

I chose the Avery Elle Sentimental too stamp & die set because I JUST LOVE those fanciful words you can use to go across the card.

Halloween Set of Cards!

Hello y'all!

I am so excited to be one of the newest DT member's here at Dies R Us!

Today, I am sharing a card set I made for Halloween. They were quick to put together, but have such a cool effect. I personally love creating backgrounds with the Memento Inks because you can create so many different scenes!

My first step was to cut out a circle to use it as a mask to create the moon!

I created my scene with the colors from light to dark - Sweet Plum, Grape Jelly, Elderberry, Paris Dusk, London Fog, Tuxedo Black -

My next step was to use my Cut 'n' Boss to cut out all my different dies. Once those were cut, I assembled it to the card and placed the witch over the moon. I used some scrap yellow cardstock to place behind the pumpkins and the haunted house - just to give it a little PIZAZZ!

I run an LA Based Fashion Company and have a few girls with subscriptions boxes! These were the cards I created to put in their subscription boxes this month! The little ghosts were actually part of a Halloween Party Paper Cut out set.
