Cherry or Chesnut.....

These little cards were fun to make out of various snippets.


I embossed a large piece with Woodland EF,
then cut it into 4..


I used some of the very delicate gold thread around the stalks

Remembrance Day....

.........and some very important birthdays.

Here's one of my cards for one of them


Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay and Whisper White.
Gold embossed with Vintage Leaves,

Here's the process.....

Stamped and die cut some scraps using gold EP to make leaves


scrunched 'em and curled 'em
added background splats n stuff from Gorgeous Grunge.
 and arranged 'em around greeting.....

(not sure I did it very well....I tried dropping them from above to get random,
but that didn't look right either lol)


was lacking something, so added some stars,
then tried out my new corner punch....


then mounted them on coordinating card.

The easy coordination with Stampin up is what attracted me
in the first place, and it makes everything quick n easy.

well, maybe not everything lol....

Certainly not clean n simple,
bit too much, but hey I enjoyed the process,
and hopefully will make the recipients smile!

Lots of snippets means a trip to the Playground.....

Edited to add a link to the Sweet Stampin' Challenge...
(thanks to Maarit)

Maybe Hazel...

I love this almost heart shaped leaf...
maybe Poplar....


I stamped Lovely as a Tree onto white card after cutting out the leaves with framelits,
and snippets of Bermuda Bay for the Tiny Tags sentiment


the little yellow leaves are from our silver birch...

Oak

I'm pretty sure this is an Oak leaf?


I used the Woodland embossing folder,
lightly highlighted the raised bits with some
matching Tip Top Taupe ink



Happy Bonfire Night
stay safe

Vintage Leaves sparkle and splats


Have I mentioned I like Vintage Leaves yet?

I saw a similar colour combo while blog hopping,
can't remember where of course!


I dug out some sparkly embossing powder,
and used Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay card.
Gorgeous Grunge used on background,
and cute corners using the new corner punch.

Lots of snippets used for leaves and stars,
off to see who's in the Playground....

Plane to see......

I needed some thank you's for my lovely customers,
and thought I would try and collect some coordinating leaves,
whilst I was sweeping some up....

I realised that Vintage Leaves could be from a variety of trees,
or it could be I'm just rubbish at identifying them.
(I used to be a village tree warden, and was rubbish at that too :) )

So......this could be a Plane, or Acer maybe?


These leaves are from my Viburnum....


These from oak hedge.....


Feel free to chip in if you think I'm barking up the wrong tree....!


Lots of snippets used so I'm off to play in the
