Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

International Ambassadors Informal Blog Hop

Hi Everybody,

Today is another chance for you to go blog hopping with the International Ambassadors and for our theme this month we have chosen Fall.

 I have created a card that is a million miles away from my style and this card was inspired by Christine Smith from CraftiPotential

I have used the  Fall Foliage  set from Spellbinders to make stamps with craft foam from the dies and this is a set that has been around for quite some time

I have used all the autumn colours of Distress inks to stamp the leaves onto some smooth white stamping card.

I used the border stamp from Clearly Besotted along the left side and I rounded the corner off at the bottom right

This panel has been raised on foam pads to give some dimension to the card.

So why not pop along and see what the other Ambassadors have come up with  and please leave us a comment to let us know that you visited....

Linda Lucas                Australia
Yvonne van de Grijp  Netherlands
Christine Emberson    UK
Christina Griffiths       You are here ..

Have fun 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  9. Hi Christina,
    Great card. I agree with nattyboots that this would make a great 'man card'. Well done for making such an interesting card. I love the fact that you made stamps from the dies, that's something I've yet to try but want to give it a go...perhaps I'll look out my leaf dies :)

  10. Good Morning Christina- This call may not be your favorite style of card but it is still lovely. Falls colors & leaves are beautiful. I haven't tried using dies for stamps myself but thanks for sharing. Lovely colors for the great fall season.

  12. Certainly different Christina. Would not be one I would choose but everyone has their own preferences so I'm sure it will be fine for lots of people. It wouldn't be as much fun creating cards if we all thought the same!!xx
