Love of Leaves Bundle, Rooted In Nature, & Plaid Tidings Designer Paper
I cased this pretty fall card (can't remember from whom). The color combo is gorgeous, and this picture just does not do it justice at all.
Here are a few StampinUP products used:
--Stitched Shapes Dies
--In Color Enamel Dots
--6 x 6 Plaid Tidings Designer Paper
--Rooted In Nature Stamp Set
--Natures Roots Dies
--Linen Thread
--Vellum Card Stock
--So Sentimental Stamp Set
Once again, the Plaid Tidings paper was used on this card also. (Notice I decorated the envelope flaps with the paper as well). The Layering Circles Dies were used on this card.
The Stitched Leaves Dies and Love of Leaves Stamp Set are featured here. (pg. 49- Holiday Catalog). I really like this sentiment from the set....."Im so glad you're in my life"
If you have any questions about either card, just ask. Sorry I'm showing fall cards and not Christmas, but I really did not make many this year at all. I did not send any out this season either, because of everything going on with my folks. Thanks to all who have reached out with condolences and prayers during the last few weeks. Both my Mom & Dad are in a much better place now, and together again like they are supposed to be. Missing them--Lori

Mountain Air Stamp Set makes a FABULOUS Masculine Birthday Card!
For this creation, I must confess.....I used retired designer paper!! I do have the current plaid paper from the Holiday Catalog of course, BUT this plaid pattern was just perfect for the look I was going for : )
Other StampinUP products that are CURRENT include:
--Stitched Rectangle Dies
--Layering Circle Dies
--Majestic Mountain Dies
--Mountain Air Stamp Set
--Classic Label Punch
I used the Thick Whisper White as my card base. Added the layers to the front of course, with some of the mountains being cut in separate pieces. The Mountain Air stamps are reversible too remember, so some of the images were stamped with the front and some were stamped with the solid "back side". Cool set to be able to do this with!! It was very fun to create a gorgeous scene, and a card for that special man in your life. Thanks for your visit-- LORI
