The HOT trend is mixing your metals for jewelry, home decor and PAPERCRAFTING!! Love this Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper that features assorted metallics! WOW!

Here is a funny "back story." I designed and photographed these cards for my Demonstrator Business Website which requires a long, thin landscape format. This photo didn't fit - DANG!

So here is my solution - just change the cards to landscape format! Viola! PERFECT! These leaves are die cut using the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies #143751.

I bet you have seen LOTS of sunflowers made with this Painted Harvest Bundle, so here is something different.

These papers are scraps from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper #144613. 

The Triple Banner Punch #138292 makes fast banners of different width and the SAME DOVE TAIL ANGLE so they are GREAT for layering!

Here is a YUMMY color combo that reminds me of SHERBET FAVORS! This is a "cased" card = copy-and-share-everything! My source is Amy Koenders from Georgia. Loved her colors!

Using Berry Burst ink pad, stamp daisy images onto Whisper White Cardstock. Using a Blender pen, add colors of Flirty Flamingo blended into Peekaboo Peach on the petals. Flower centers are stamped w/ Daffodil Delight and painted w/ Clear Wink of Stella. STUNNING!

The "messy bow" is 5/8" Berry Burst Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

I hope you will case my ideas...that's why I share! Pass it on!

This two-step Painted Harvest BUNDLE is all over the internet - a seasonal CLASSIC, for sure. I'm hooked on it! I've played w/ many colors combos, but this is my FAVORITE...

Crushed Curry for the base image and Berry Burst for the top image! Centers are Chocolate Chip ink. WOW!! I'm a gardener and usually prefer my flowers to be realistic. This reminds me of the BIG BURGUNDY sunflowers that are so showy!!

Here is the real thing, Autumn Beauty, from http://www.johnnyseeds.com

These stamp set images contain LOTS OF SHADING, so don't think your stamp set is defective. It purposely has light and dark areas for exceptional results. I LOVE IT!!

I stamped a 8-1/2 X 5-1/2" piece of Very Vanilla card stock, keeping my images staggered and close together. Then I cut that sheet into FOUR 2-1/8 X 5-1/2" pieces to create FOUR cards.

You REALLY must try this fantastic color combo!!
