Is it "Fall" where you live? Earlier this week it was super "fall-ish"….crisp mornings…but the heat and humidity is back today! I adore Fall and I find every excuse to take walks in the brisk air…to sleep with the windows open…to enjoy the beauty of the leaves on the trees!
Today is Thursday which means another Pals Paper Art Challenge and I below you will see the colors that we are working with this week! I hope that you will join the fun and I also hope that you pop over to the Pals Paper Art Website to see all of the inspiration!
I was doing the "happy dance" with this color palette! It screams FALL! You can receive this card for free when you sign up for my September Stamp of the Month Club! Please click here to see the post that spells it all out!
I am super excited with the response I have receive for this! Because I am making you a sample card of each of the 3 designs and I am limiting it to an amount that I can realistic produce. I originally said that the cut off is Monday, September 22nd…but I only have 8 spots left so please email me if you want to take advantage of this kit! (I do not think it will make it to the 22nd)
Let's get to today's card! I was super happy with it and when I send it to you…it is blank…so you can send it to a friend…use it to CASE…..or simply use it for a class. "Thanks" is universal and I am thankful for you popping onto my blog!
If you look at the colors in the Color Me Autumn DSP….it uses Mossy Meadow and todays challlenge calls for Always Artichoke….great example…play with your colors….many of our colors blend perfectly! The DSP is matted on the Always Artichoke…and it works!
Today's card os showcasing the Four Feathers Stamp Set. Feather are very popular right now and I will say…I was not a huge fan but then I thought about it…took the plunge and I am happy I did…WHY? – this is a perfect example of having a "filler"…to me it is like when you arrange flowers, they are times that you need "just a little something" to hide a open spot!
This s what I thought about these feathers. In today's card, I let the variety of height just gently cover the open space. I can also see that just using one feather with a cluster of leaves would be stunning. This does have framelits and you can buy it as a bundle (see below) – this way you will save an instant 15%!!!
A simple stamp of thanks from the Another Thank You set was a cinch as you can see right through for perfect placement! (I wish you could see my set, I feel like it has been through the worse storm as it is normal for your photopolymer stamps to get stained…I have used this sooooo much, trust me it is well stained which means it is well loved!!!)
A simple and classis Gold Basic Button with the linen thread and some easy loos was the perfect finishing touch! I use glue dots to adhere – quick and easy!
Well….I "thank you" for popping in today! Please remember to tell your family and friends about my blog and it you are not currently working with a SUD, I would love to help you out! My online store is a click away and you can shop at home with your jamiies!
Also, if you would like to earn some hostess rewards, I will be happy to get you a hostess code and your friends goodies will be shipped right to their home! There are many way that we can work together vis the beauty of the internet!
If you are interested in the September Stamp of the Month Kit, please email me and put in the subject line STAMP OF THE MONTH so I can save you a spot! I am super excited about this as I am excited for you to be able to make your own clean and simple cards following not only my instructions, but you will have an actual sample of the card….
Remember, if you already own the For All Things stamp set, no worries…just let me know of another stamp set that you do not have and I will mail it to you with your kit. Please feel free to email me and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have!
Have a great day and I hope that you enjoye this clean and simple card. Stampin' hugs to you!
Until tomorrow….
Love the card!!!
LOVE IT ! I love feathers ! I collect them from out and about my woodsy area ! And love your blog this morning . So much good info . I think Stamp Of The Month sounds like fun !
Hi Susan, Love the fall also. Great card for the fall. Thanks are always great. I love this small stamp from the set. I used it in my Unite & Excite swap card. Did you get to see it?
🙂
So pretty, Susan!
So very happy to see the fall colors starting to be used. It is my favorite time of the year. Thank you for ideas to use the feathers. I bought it knowing I could count on my “Pals” to give me inspiration. Pretty, pretty!
Wow, you really nailed this, my friend! I’m so going to CASE you :)Thanks for inspiring me!!
WOW – love those feathers. super nice touch
on coordinating the envelope as well.
job well done!!!
Love the colors on this one, Susan, and you are so right, screams fall. I’m not a big feather person, so think I’ll tweak it a little and use leaves.
I have been “on the fence” about the feathers…I think you just sold me! : )
P.S. Fall is bearing down on us up here in Maine…it’s glorious!
Fall is starting to show up here in France, too. There are yellow leaves on the ground, which is funny because there aren’t many on the trees, yet.
I like the Indian corn paper! I had fabric that looked like that once for a project.
Cyberhugs!
A classic beauty – like you. Thanks for playing along with this week’s PPA color challenge.
I’ve been using these feathers a lot lately, and I love what you’ve done with them. They look fabulous with these Fall colors. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
A truly beautiful fall card. The feathers lend a bit of old world charm and the colours are perfect. Thanks for sharing your talents.
I may CASE you…this is simple divine!
Susan, I’ve been holding out and haven’t purchased the feathers bundle. I am going for it now; your card is beautiful!
Very pretty! Love the print you chose to go with the feathers. Glad you joined us this week at FMS!
