Fall Birthday and 'Tis the Season



I've got a couple of cards today for some challenges that caught my eye as they worked well with some new dies I just received.


I was inspired by the Curtain Call photo to use my new IO Ginko Leaf die to create a fall themed birthday card in colors suitable for a male.  







I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday bold (for the colors), Simon Says Wednesdays to use a rubber or clear stamp, and Seize the Birthday (without the toppings).




My second card is for Merry Monday #124 where the card must include a gift and Virginia's View #7 pattern paper.  I used the IO Gift Stack die and some EP pattern paper to make this holiday card.  I just love this new die, and think it would be perfect for birthdays, too.



I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday.


That is all I have time for today.  I still have pictures I need to post from when Kim and Marybeth came over for our own little delayed Stamp a Faire.  So, stay tuned.


Thanks for Visiting

  8. I adore your gingko leaf card! When we lived in Ohio we had a gingko tree and I just found it so interesting looking. I love fall colors too so your card is an extra big winner in my book. The patterned presents are real fun too. I need to get back in the Merry Monday saddle.
