Autumn is in the air 🍂

Hello & Happy Wednesday.

Another evening blog post for me today, the days just seem to be running away from me. Those six hours the boys are at school just fly by and before I know it, it's time to walk back and get them! 

Autumn 🍂 is in the air.

Although the first day of autumn in the UK us next week, the signs have been slowly creeping in the past couple of weeks. Slightly darker mornings, the light fading earlier and that crispness in the air that accompanies both. The leaves are already starting to change colour and fall too.

I don't have a favourite season. There are things I love about them all. Today I was inspired by the changing of the season and embracing the rustic feel of autumn.




I think I achieved this with my chosen colours. The Nature's Wonders collection from Altenew. Like many of the Brand Ambassadors, I was inspired to ink up the recently restocked, Season Of Beauty clear stamp set! 





As you can see I decided to pair the larger foliage sprig with the Stencil - Wonky Stripes. I am loving the movement this combination creates. Especially with stamping the foliage so it falls off the edge of the panel. 

What is your favourite thing about autumn? 

Until tomorrow.

Neutrals, Flowers & Subtle Glitter!

Hey!

Sunday evening here already & I'm sad that it's back to normal routine tomorrow. I'm going to miss having my hubby home 24/7, it makes a difference having two pairs of hands when it comes to playing and looking after my two crazy beans! 

Anyway, I've enjoyed some more creative time tonight and made another card using the current "Less is More" challenge HERE which is to use Neutral colours. Again I reached for the warmer colours of creams & light soft browns.




Another birthday card, this time I decided to use Beautiful Blooms II (back in stock this month) and I paired it with a Mama Elephant die that I have not used yet. Again the sentiment is from Simply Said Birthdays.




The new challenge over at AAA Cards HERE and seen below is to use glitter. I love glitter and I surprised myself that I have used so little on this card! I have added it to the section below the stitching on the die cut border and only the flower centres. 




Ok, that's all from me today, time to do a little 'work' before an episode or two and bed! I've a few Happy Mail parcels to pack :) I'll be back tomorrow with more to share, but until then, thank you for stopping by today.


Supplies:
Card: SU! Whisper White, Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. Polka Dot from off cut pile! (Bazzill Possibly)
Ink: SU! Soft Suede 
Accessories: SU! Glitter. Mama Elephant Landscape Trio Dies. Glue Pen. Linen Thread & DST.

Lots Of HAPPY!

Hey!

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend & finding some creative time too ;) With hubby still home I have been able to fit chores in whilst he plays with the beans so during their decent nap time this afternoon and now they have gone to bed I have had a good chunk of creative time  - YAY! And I have actually made good progress with making four cards. I will be sharing the other three later next week, but here is todays card...




I haven't played along a "Less is More" in what seems like forever, this week they have a colour challenge HERE which is Neutrals. They have a fabulous sponsor this month too, so be sure to join in on the challenges to be in the chance of winning.




Keeping on with my current HAPPY theme & state of mind I created a birthday card. This one will be 'winging' its way across the Atlantic for a friends birthday. It has been an age since I last inked up BRIGHT Butterflies, which is sadly retiring this year. There are a couple of sets due back in stock this week & so if you want a set before they're gone for good you'll have to be quick! 




For my neutral colours I used a mix of SU! inks, Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede & Crumb Cake and added VersaMagic Wheat ink for the lighter shade. The sentiments are a mix from Simply Said Birthday and the notebook die is from Papertrey Ink. 

That's all from me today, short & sweetish tonight. Time to go chill with the hubby and catch up on the TV series Luther. I'll be back tomorrow with more to share & until then, thank you for stopping by today.

Autumn Neutrals

Hey!

Autumn is definitely in full swing here in the UK, the weather so far this week has kept me in The Studio working & not wanting to go outside! Anyway, I have an Autumnal masculine birthday card to share with you...




I was inspired not only by the weather to make this card but also by the current Less is More Challenge HERE, which is Autumn! 

I decided to keep my card to Autumn Neutrals as I knew I wanted to used Uniko Studio Background Builders Lattice stamps to create a background and if I started adding a lot of colour it would have got a little busy and not so CAS.




I used another Memory Box Die I have had for a while but haven't seem to have used! I think I need to come up with a system of making sure I use stash instead of stashing it! Lol!

That's all from me today, I hope your all having a good week so far? We're half way to the weekend and halfway closer to the next Uniko Studio Super FREE Saturday! Until tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.
Hugs
Supplies
Card Stock: PT Kraft & Vintage Cream. SU! Chocolate Chip
Ink: SU! Chocolate Chip
Stamps: Uniko Studio Background Builders Lattice & FONTiments Birthday
Accessories: SU! Button, Memory Box Leaf Die

A Multitude of Doilies!

Hey!

Today I have another card set to show you ...




Again this card took me less than 10 minutes to make so I made a whole batch to put together as a gift set. I'm trying to get a few products together for Designers Marketplace in December. It seems ages away but I know it'll creep up on me if I don't start doing the odd thing! 

Here's a close up ...




Using a neutral colour scheme I paired various doilies from The Hands Of Time - Decorative Doilies and paired them with sentiments from Time and Extra Time. A simple button tied with jute finished the sentiment panel off.

Here's the set ...




I've just the insides to finish which will be a kraft mat layer left blank and then the packaging to make them presentable! 

That's all from me today, thanks for stopping by!
