I crafted my first card with the Twelve Days stamp set.
I stamped and heat embossed the twelve images on squares cut with a die from the Lifestyle Crafts nesting set. The sentiment is from ‘Tis the Season.
My next card features the Autumn Acorns stamp set. I stamped two of the leaves in the set in a variety of shadow inks, popping up some acorns with dimensional tape.
My final card, concealing a gift card, combines the Treat Yo Self die, the Zipper Panel die, and Christmas Scribbles. The snowflakes were stamped in gold ink, the die cut in gold and added to a die cut in the card’s red base color for extra dimension.
I’m playing along with this week’s ColourQ Challenge. Another wonderful color combination for the fall!
I used a Lawn Fawn notecard measuring 3 1/2 x 4 7/8 for the card base. The leaves were adhered with dimensional foam to circles which were cut with the MFT Peek-a-Boo die. My original design was going to use the frame from that die, but lining up the three circles seemed too forced and rigid.
Supplies: Lawn Fawn Notecards; Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves dies; Lawn Fawn Argyle Backdrops stamp set; MFT Peek-a-Boo Trio die
It’s time for the another Cutting Edge Challenge! Our inspiration this week is an amazing card created by Design Team member Melania Deasy.
I was drawn to the theme and colors in Melania’s inspiration, creating a similar card using the Polaroid die from the MFT Stamps set.
I used the camera to cut the Lawn Fawn patterned paper three times. I also cut a larger circle out of the same papers to put behind the lens opening in the camera. I cut a square piece out of the patterned paper and inserted it into the slit in the bottom camera to replicate a Polaroid image.
We’d love to have you play along! Head on over to The Cutting Edge Challenge blog where you’ll find inspiration from other members of the team, the rules and regulations, and the InLinkz tool for you to link up your project!

Today I’m sharing a card created for colourQ challenge #260.
This is such a delightful color combination for the fall. I grew up in Denver; the Broncos football team colors are orange and blue. I had at least one school outfit that was pumpkin and navy!
The branches, from a Taylored Expressions die set, were cut from a woodgrain textured cardstock. I double cut the birds, (from the same TE set), adhered them together and put them onto the branches with dimensional adhesive. The navy background was cut with a Lil’ Inker stitched rectangle die. The sentiment, from a Taylored Expressions stamp set, was heat embossed.
