Christmas with Autumn Days

Autumn Days is one of my all time favourite stamp sets. It has just the sort of natural images I love and I use it for absolutely everything - scrapbooking, masculine and feminine cards, birthdays, thank you cards, get wells, Christmas... yes, it might be called Autumn Days but Christmas is one of the things it does best!


I've stamped a similar design to the one on my gift voucher box I showed you last week, but using silver embossing this time...


... then mounted the panel onto a mat made with scalloped squares punched out of the luscious Cherry Cobbler card stock and stuck together. I added a berry sprig cut out with my paper snips and a few rhinestones for extra sparkle!


The sentiment from Petite Pairs has become a firm favourite of mine and has a coordinating stamp designed to go inside the card that says '... and a happy, joyful, bright new year!'


Come and see the back of the card too - I wrapped the Lucky Limeade card stock right round the back of the card and added this gorgeous little stamp from the Creatively Yours stamp set. I think it adds a really lovely personal touch!

I had a wonderful time with this set and made several cards with it - but I'll show you the others another time otherwise we'll be here all day!

Supplies needed for this card:
Stamps: Autumn Days, Petite Pairs, Creatively Yours
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, versamark, markers
Card stock: Very Vanilla, Lucky Limeade, Cherry Cobbler
Other: Basic rhinestones, Scallop Square punch, silver embossing powder, heat tool, stamp-a-majig, paper snips
I'd be delighted to order any of these supplies for you and can have them delivered to your address in the UK. I am committed to providing excellent customer service and am always happy to help and advise. Just send me an email or give me a call on 01280 820593. 

Everyone has begun to do those exciting whisperings and rustlings in our house which means secret plans are afoot. I just love it!

Thank you for dropping in today. I've got loads more ideas for cards and other projects, so do pop back soon!

Hugs,

    Lovely use of this fabulous stamp set and I like the way you've 'wrapped' the card too. No hushed whisperings in my house just squeals of disorganised mad panic!
