Looking for Fall....

I got all 3 samples for a "Fall into Autumn" class at the LSS in Green Valley, AZ. done in time for our store meeting.  Amazing!   Usually I'm working up to the last minute as I get such brain burps at times... This class is scheduled for Oct. 19 and hopefully it will be a go...  (Gets real slow when the "snowbirds" are gone.)

 I used Spellbinders Assorted Leaves Shapeabilites dies for all 3 cards.  This card also uses a die from Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles Nestabilities.  How do you like the paper? The patterns are from a double-sided Bo Bunny sheet called Forever Fall Impressions.  I love the colors!  And the text is by The Angel Co.  My Wizard got a bit of a work-out for these!

The striped paper is by American Crafts. It, too, is double sided and you will see the other side in the next card.

I swiped Burnt Umber ink on the leaf after embossing.  And the text is from the Tag Tidbits set by The Angel Company.  Did you notice the other common factor in these cards???  I used tan raffia. I like how it seems to "finish" the cards, at least to me.

We've been getting some great cooler mornings lately, in the low 60's.  Love opening the back door and letting it in!  Feels wonderful and the AC doesn't kick in until noon or so now.

Have you checked out the 3 stamp companies in the sidebar?  I'm waiting on orders!!  I just had to purchase a Christmas moose and appropriate text!  And I found a great "empty tomb" stamp for Easter!  Wahoo!

Great cards Carol! The paper is fab for fall and the leaves are wonderful. LOVE how you chose certain papers for your leaves (that dotted pattern is soooo fun on that first card).
