Another Fall Card

Hello!  Happy weekend to you!  I hope you're enjoying it.  I sure am!  I shared a fall card a week or so ago and wanted to share a card like it with a different color scheme.  I love this card and knew that I'd be making a ton of them when I first saw it.  Here's the card.  You've seen it in pool party with crushed curry, but I was out of pool party so I decided to improvise a little and I'm happy with the result!

I think the champagne glimmer paper really makes the card!  I also love the birch paper in the background from the Thankful tablescape simply created kit.  I will say, that kit is a must have!!!!  You can still order it in time for arrival before Thanksgiving, or after Thanksgiving is over, you can order it to scrapbook your Thanksgiving memories. Order all the supplies to make this card in my online store here.  The greeting is from the Another Thank You photopolymer stamp set, one of my new favorites!  I love the photopolymer stamp sets.  They're awesome.  They stamp great, cling to the blocks great, are easy to clean, easy to re-stamp if your image doesn't come out just right, they're very affordable, and they come in a compact, easy to store package, which is great for all of us crafters out there who are short on space!  I also love thank you stamps, since I send a lot of thank you's, and this set is great because it has all different sized stamps in many different fonts, so there's sure to be a stamp for every project and card you're making!  And last but not least, I am in love with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  I love leaves and fall, so this die was made just for me!  It's a great die to have in your collection for anything fall related, and great for spring and summer projects as well, since you can make the leaves whatever colors you want!  This die has so many possibilities!  Cut out leaves with patterned paper, regular cardstock, felt, chipboard, vinyl, magnetic paper, wood sheets, anything!  You won't be sorry you ordered this die, I promise!!!  Order all these supplies and other high quality Stampin' Up! supplies in my online store here.  Thanks for stopping by today.  See you tomorrow!

Eastern Elegance Journals

Hello!  Today I wanted to share some journals that I made for my cousin.  She's on a mission for our church right now, and she wanted something to take notes in.  I bought some composition notebooks on sale during back to school season, so I covered those with some Designer Series Paper and added a few extra embellishments to dress them up.

For this journal, I added white satin ribbon to the edge, cut a little label out with the apothecary accents framelits, cut a C out of Silver Glimmer paper with retired Serif Essentials Dies, added two basic jewel rhinestones, and I was happy with the way it turned out.

On the inside, I put a piece of Lucky Limeade card stock over the front and back cover that usually has room for you to write your class schedule and has measurements and conversion tables.  I put a picture of a temple and a quote on the inside and left the rest for her to fill up!  I liked the inside cover, because it kind of reminded me of a cork board after I put the picture and quote inside, so I left the rest empty and thought it would be fun if she wanted to add more to her little mini board!

This journal was made with the Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! I lined the edge with a piece of smoky slate card stock and used a retired punch to make the notebook edge. (I thought this was a perfect 'edge' for the journal, since it's supposed to be a notebook :)  )  I added some retired Basic Gray satin ribbon, punched a flower out of Whisper White card stock with the blossom flower punch, stamped a flower center from the mixed bunch stamp set, punched it out, and layered it on top of another circle, and then added that to the notebook next to the little 'notes' label.  The inside is almost the exact same as the green notebook.

I thought these notebooks would have been great to give to friends and people I visit teach, for them to take notes during General Conference earlier this month, but I didn't think about that in time.  Next year!!!

Hope this post inspired you to make something.  See you tomorrow!
