You're all dying to know if I managed to pull it off, right? See what you think.
One in autumnal shades and the other with a more festive colour scheme. It wasn't that difficult in the end, the stamp set did the work for me. I wasn't keen on the "Autumn Wishes & tasty dishes" sentiment. It's intended for Thanksgiving I imagine. I got over it by only partially stamping the image. I can see the woodland embossing folder getting a lot of use.
Linking up with Julia and the Deskers this blustery afternoon. If you're coming to the Hallowe'en Crop, and would like to order any Stampin' Up goodies to collect there, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll be happy to help.
That's it from me, but I'll be back on Friday with the return of SIPIDI! Yes, finally.
PS I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who left me supportive comments on Monday. I've replied to most of you now, but there are a few "no-reply" bloggers in there and I wasn't able to email back.
I particularly like the Autumn card, mainly because you don't see many of them around.
ReplyDeleteLovely designs and faultless execution! What about those of us who want to forget about Christmas altogether, LOL, I mean as far as crafting is concerned. I guess, I'm just seasonally challenged! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #30
ReplyDeleteGenius! I think that's completely inspired.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in your autumn card (and I agree that it's far too soon to think about Christmas).
ReplyDeleteTwo really fab cards - amazing the difference a change of ink and cardstock can make. Looking forward to the return of SIPIDI (now where did I put those new beads that I was going to try and melt LOL!!)
ReplyDeleteI've only just seem your Monday post.....sending you lots of love and hugs. It's never easy being a parent at the best of times is it? I really hope he manages to find a little more understanding and can enjoy his course very soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping over to mine earlier. Jan never lets us down does she? ;-)
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteWell, the schizo cards worked brilliantly!! I love 'em both :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've had loads of support....we do really care because we know how hard it's been for you all.....

Just been for a wander through your blog first! Sounds as though your son's flat mates need to be a lot more tolerant and better behaved themselves! I do hope that things get better soon ! Not sure yet whether we will get to the crop -waiting for number 2 son to give us some dates, although I am aware time is ticking for booking somewhere....I'll have to pin him down I think! !! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteLove both cards but the Christmas one is my fave :)
ReplyDeleteThese cards look beautiful!

Both cards are fabulous, but I particularly love the leafy one as I'm very much in an Autumnal mood - Christmas will happen once Halloween and all the Autumn birthdays are out of the way! The wishes logos look very professional and it works really well cutting off it's bottom! Hope you have a good week, and many thanks for stopping by my blog,

Fantastic job. And too modest of you to say it did it for you - not so. Bet your ladies love them! The weather is really too perfectly autumnal too be thinking too hard about Christmas yet, I think!
ReplyDeleteYou're such a talented card maker
ReplyDeleteYes you pulled it off, they both look great! x
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of only stamping part of the sentiment. Never thought of that! LOL Yep, I love the Birch embossing folder, too. On my list to purchase . Creative Blessings! Kelly #42
ReplyDeleteYes, you accomplished it quite handsomely! I'm amazed at how different the same design can look just by changing the color scheme!
ReplyDelete2 good uses for a single stamp! Well done!
