Beautiful AUTUMN Card

With a few days left in Autumn, I wanted to feature this card. Every month a group of us gather for a fun shoebox swap where we all design a project and make each other's projects. It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with. This beautiful card was designed by one of my friends and wonderful Stampin' Up! downline, Jenny Bonet. I made this card but it's a direct copy of what Jenny created--I loved her original design so much. If you want to check out some more of Jenny's creations, check out her blog at HEART TO ART CREATIONS.

What do you use for inspiration?

Today, I had one of my FAVORITE monthly events, Stamp-a-Stack. At this event, stampers pay $20 to make 20 cards! What a deal! If you go to most stores, cards will run $3-$5 for ONE card. We had a great time today with our stamping marathon and stampers left with a stack of cards and a SMILE on their faces.

One thing I love about this event is the opportunity to create very freely. I focus on making cards that can be recreated rather quickly while still having some pop.

I am a HUGE fan of the PaperCrafts magazine. I used it for inspiration for today's cards. I scanned the current issue for ideas of layouts. I loved combining items from my own stash with fabulous Stampin' Up! products.


Two of the projects used diecuts from The Big Shot! I loved cranking out WAY too many butterflies and branches for two different cards. I think my stampers LOVE all of the extra diecuts as they usually get to leave with a clear envelope of extras to take home and use to create.



Remember...cardmaking can be simple and quick. The results are amazing and the recipient will LOVE it!
