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!

Hugs,
