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
