Fall and Birthday Stamp a Stack cards

Last week the first Stamp a Stack of the new Stampin' Up! year was held.  The themes were Fall and Birthday.  I LOVE fall and coincidentally LOVE fall cards.  I could make autumn cards all year long!!!  The cards shown here use new stamp sets from the Holiday mini.  This Holiday mini is putting a serious dent in my wallet!!  EEK!  There are just so many awesome things in the mini! 

Birthday cards are certainly always handy to have around and so are male ones, right?!  Male cards are absolutely one of my weaknesses.  I saw a slightly different version of the Totally Tool card above on Stampin' Up!'s demo website and knew I had to CASE it.  And then you can't go wrong with a simple, floral, female birthday card. Right?

Supplies Used:

Stamps:
French Foliage, Day of Gratitude, Pick a Petal, Totally Tool
Embellishments:
stampin' pastels, large buttons, aquapainter, Champagne mist shimmer paint (highlighting the colored petals), various brads, striped ribbon, hemp twine
Colors:
Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Basic Gray, Basic Black, Real Red, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Marina Mist, Melon Mambo, Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight

February 2010 Stamp Club Projects

Here are tonight’s club projects!  There was some definite CASE-ing going on with the baseball and flower cards (found them on splitcoast – I did change them both a bit) and then you saw the birthday cake one in my post from yesterday.  We put dark chocolate m&m’s in the treat cup.  Yum!
These were fun cards to create – hopefully now that the first card has been made with a hidden door for the treat cup that more of these will be created!  It’s always getting the concept for the first time that is tricky, then it gets easier, right?!?!

Stamp Sets Used: Pick a Petal, Just Baseball, Bitty Birthday
Designer Paper: Bride Specialty, Sweet Pea
RIbbons: Crushed Curry polka dot grosgrain, Old Olive wide grosgrain, Pretty in Pink satin

Pick a Petal Note

Got another card made today!  Wahoo!  I’ll be using this card at club tomorrow night so hopefully if any of my club members are reading this they are also liking the card!

There’s a challenge at splitcoaststampers every Sunday basically to look at a certain person’s gallery, pick one of their cards, and CASE it but also change two things.  Well, I changed many, many aspects of the card but certainly used her card as a jumping off point.

So here’s the card.  I love that Sweet Always DSP!  Love, love, love it.  The colors in it are totally me (Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip) and the patterns are just awesome. 

Ok, that’s all for tonight, I’m exhausted!  Sorry for the poor scan quality but it’s 10:30 pm so no daylight with which to take a picture outside!
