CardMaker and Poppy Stamps Blog Hop! :)

Hi there friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog on the CardMaker (which is the beginning of the Hop) and poppystamps BLOG HOP! You should have come from Zuzana Obert's blog.

I made two cards for this Hop, here is my first. On both cards I used the Aspen Leaf die, the Leaf Silhouette die, and on the first I also used the Beech Leaf die.  It was so fun to make some Autumnal cards! :)



I should mention that both the single leaf dies include a "leaf frame" that coordinates nicely with the Leaf silhouette die. I didn't use them on this card, but each of the single leaf dies cut two pieces. :) I just used the centers, I LOVE how the veins of the leaves are scored right into them by the die. 

I just sponged some ink on these leaves, so easy and what a pretty effect! 

For my second card I used the Leaf Silhouette as a mask that I brayered ink over. This is a glossy card stock, I stamped it first with some leaf stamps, then laid down the die cuts and brayered ink over the top.

I also used the same die to cut the border on that green piece of cardstock.

These cards were a lot of fun to make! I hope you liked them, too! 

Next on the Hop is Patty Tanuz, thanks for stopping by paper & ICE! :)

Those leaves look so realistic they could have fallen from my tree. I think I need to embellish my yearly rant against the leaves with these dies! Your cards are great.
