Leaf Cards

Some more cards for Hero Arts Autumn challenge. I LOVE using my Silhouette (in case you hadn't noticed). ;) They have a new program and I'm trying to transfer my library to the new system but it's not going very well. Oh well... we'll get there. :)

Here are the cards:

 

 The leaf shape is from here: www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/sd/viewShape.aspx?id=12581. I ungrouped the image so I could use the outline for the back and front of the card and cut the inside on a separate piece of paper. The greeting is from the Frames and Messages clear set. On the last one I crinkled up the paper to give it the texture of a real fall leaf.

I also made this card for challenge:

The main panel was kind of a happy mistake. I clear embossed the maple leaves and went over the panel with Walnut Stain distress ink. Apparently some of the tiny flowers were embossed and so they also resisted the ink. :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We had family over today to celebrate our twins' birthday. :)

Cards for Kids

Boy, I've been missing in action for a bit. First my mojo left me for a few weeks and then this past week the kids and I were at my parents so the kids could go to VBS at the church my Dad use to be the minister of. A couple days before we left my mojo finally returned and I got a few things made, including some cards for Jennifer McGuire's Cards for Kids card drive. I LOVE the Silhouette's Chubby Animal print and cut shapes and used a number of them with some Hero Arts background stamps and various patterned papers. Found some animal jokes that my son has and was go to go. :)

Thanks for popping by! Will share more in the next few days. :)
