The inspiration for these cards came from the change in weather here by me.  Each card is a little bit different just like  the color of fall leaves.  I used a wood-grained embossing folder and cut the leaves out of double sided card stock of reds, yellows, and greens.  Before attaching the leaves I scrunched the edge of the leaves to give them dimension.  I used the sentiment thinking of you but this could be a happy birthday or just because type of card. For the inside I added a few more leaves to finish it off.

Fall is definitely in the air.

Well it’s back to school time and soon it will be Halloween then all the other holidays.  I have two Halloween cards for you today. The first one I was doing some experimenting with glue and glitter for the background.

I added color strips of paper that I put glue on,  then added the glitter to the paper.  It gives it just a little bit of sparkle.

For my second card I used glitter paper for the web and created the spider using a punch. You can’t tell from the photo but the spider is dimensional.  The inside of the card has a spider hanging from it’s web.

I just love peacocks, they are one of the most beautiful creatures when their colorful tail feathers are extended.  This card is pretty simple to make but does give the wow factor to the recipient.  Each of the feathers are lifted to give dimension and I added some silver metallic paper behind the feathers to give it shine.  I’ve added a Happy Birthday sentiment at the bottom so it would not distract from the bird.
