I used the colors at this week's Color Throwdown #413 to make a masculine themed birthday card using my new PTI Fancy Foliage dies and a sentiment from Hero Arts Chalkboard Birthday.
I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #363: Leaves, The Male Room #45: Leaves and or Trees and Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.
Make it Monday #263 is all about using die cut frames on a card. I used die cuts from the Embroidered Borders frames, stamped with Fairy Dust ink on my holiday card. I was so excited to pull out my new Winter Village stamps and dies to create my little scene. While I had my Misti set up for all the little stamps in this set, I stamped several extra bits that I hope to use on some more cards before long.
I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #214: Clean and Simple and Christmas Card Challenges #43 (I am doing the anything goes part).
Thanks for Visiting

Love your colorful Fancy Foliage die-cuts, Joyce - perfect masculine card! And then, your wintry scene is arranged beautifully using those frame die-cuts.
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards Joyce! Love the bright colors on first one and the "winter wonderland" on the second!!!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are gorgeous, Joyce ... the colours pop beautifully against the crisp white texture-y background! Sweet wintery scene ... just the place to enjoy a hot chocolate by the cosy fire! Been catching up ... and enjoying browsing round all your recent makes. As ever, such creativity ... and wonderful inspiration ... thank you! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeletePRETTY cards Joyce! The first is incredible!!
ReplyDeleteI really love how you played with the Fancy Foliage dies, and your 'Winter Wonderland' is gorgeous, Joyce! Two awesome cards!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are so striking cut in those colors, Joyce. The little scene is adorable.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, these are amazing!!!! I'm adding PTI products to my wish list faster than I can type after looking at your blog tonight. Boy am I glad that the holidays are approaching and as of now my husband hasn't thought of anything he wants to get me because after tonight I can think of plenty. :)
ReplyDeleteThis card is crazy cool Joyce. All those die cut must have taken forever and what a fabulous way to the autumn theme. This card is so well balanced and clean it would be hard to accomplish; at least in my craft room.. Great job I love it and I want to thank you for joining us at TMR.
