Fall colors
Oh how I love fall! The colors are also beautiful. While I had my embossing machine out I found this fun pumpkin pattern so I embossed it on Orange. I layered it onto a brown paper card stock. Then in my scrap pile I found a fun fall figured paper that has a little bit of shimmer shine and gloss to it. I took my medium-sized scallop punch and used it on another shiny fall patterned paper. I pop that up with a little bit of sticky foam and then to keep the card somewhat clean and simple I just added a little leaf stamp down in the bottom left corner.

MFP different card challenge
I made one card for this challenge and I found it so fun that I decided to do a second!! I think they will make neat little gifts for someone that has everything but you want to give them a little something. I started out with a figured polkadot and flower card stock, then I added a few little embellishments to the Front of the card. I used the leftover piece from my 12 x 12 paper and made the first tag with a yellow ribbon added a little flower in the bottom right corner and stamped on thinking of you. For the second tag I took a solid brown added coordinating colors and stamped happy birthday and topped it off with a yellow ribbon. I really enjoyed this challenge once I got the hang of it 😊😊
I really enjoy working with cards that are more rectangle shape for two reasons. If you're using an
8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and you turn it sideways or long ways you can get two cards out of the sheet. The other reason I like it is because it fits very nicely into an A2 sized envelope.

challenge tutorial #34
Once I got this figured out, it was a very fun challenge Tutorial to make. I will do it again over and over. I used a green stripe and a green polkadotted paper for the card/folder, and for the tags, used the Green striped paper along with a figured paper that had a little bit of the green color in it then I chose a white ribbon and a teal ribbon at the top of the gift cards. I had some stickers that kind of matched my color coding and so that's what I put on the front of the card pocket and also on one of the tags. I'm sorry that my pictures are kind of Glare as I ended up having to use my kitchen table as a background 🙃🙃

Glitz and glitter
This was a very fun challenge I've had this set of stamps for ever and not really used to much. I started out on a cream textured card stock, my teal ink pad and a cotton ball. I dabbed the cotton ball on the teal ink pad and sponged onto the cream colored card stock. I stamped the two ladies in black and made them into silhouettes with my large black marker and stamped the two sayings onto the card to keep it clean and simple then I used my spray glitter and sprayed over the top of the entire card. it's very hard to see unless you enlarge it but it's silver glitter.

Umbrella blues
For this challenge I started with cream card stock and I folded it so that the left third folded over to meet the center front. On the back bottom paper, I layered on a blue figured paper, then a blue solid paper then I stamped my sentiment on the same cream paper that I had cut just a little bit smaller but that would flap over the first third. On the first flat that folds over I used solid paper and figured paper with umbrellas on it. I added a butterfly to complete the colors in the challenge. On the front of the small paper I repeated the figured paper from the back bottom paper and the umbrella paper from the second page.then I found a teal paper that was just a little bit contrasting and stamped my thinking of you on white paper.

MFT different card technique with glitter
when I started this challenge I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do! I guess it ended up OK.
I started with white card stock and a teal piece of paper I did the tutorial with the tape in the glitters and then I had in my stash the die cut out in peach. I had just gotten a new stamp set with the bird on it so I stamped it on white and then actually cut it out and then use my orange gel glitter pen and retraced the words on the bird, stamped happiness across the top in black and topped it off with the teal and peach butterfly.
