Fall ATC swap with Lydia

I participated in my first ATC swap with Lydia at http://sanchezexpressions.blogspot.com. We had to create our cards in what we saw or thought Fall to be.

For my ATC's I used patterned paper by DCWV- Indian Summer(2009). My image is a Tilda stamp by Magnolia. I think she was from years's fall collection. The image was to big for my ATC, so stamped her on plain paper then scanned her into my computer and resized her to fit my card. Once printed I colored the images using my copic markers. I also added some stickles to the little pumkins. The sentiment on my card is from TPC Studio clear stamps- Autumn Harvest. I stamped it in TH distress ink- Vintage photo and used TH spiced marmalade,aged mahogany, and shabby shutters to color the label. And of course you can't forget the bling!!

On the back of the card I added a pocket and a tag cut out using the mirror function key from Tags,Bags,Boxes and more. On my tag I wrote what "Fall is" to me.

Wedding Card




Today i made a cute little card for a wedding we are going to next weekend. I used my cricut along with the design studio to weld the card together and used the "sweethearts" cartridge.
The pattern paper is from an 8X8 "Wedding" pad by Making memories. The card was cut out with white cardstock at 5". Then I covered the card using the shadow feature in black and layered with the blackout in gray. The trim at the bottom of the card I found at my local Dollar store. The whole card was inked along the edges with black soot distress ink. I made a 6X6 envelope using my Martha Stewart score board and used some left over pattern paper along the bottom.
