Allsorts Challenge ~ Autumn

It's time for a new Allsorts Challenge and Christine has chosen the theme of 'Anything Autumn'.  I made a Hexagon Floating Card, after watching Paul Ford's video HERE.  I adjusted the measurements slightly to make the middle front panel and little wider.

Someone kindly gave me a part used 8" x 8" paper/topper pad, which included this beautiful piece of patterned paper.  With the leaves in shades of brown, red, orange and shiny gold, it was perfect for an Autumn themed card.  The rich red plain card matched it perfectly.  Behind the middle panel is a strip of strong acetate.  The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up 'Magnolia Blooms' set, stamped with Stampin' Up 'Cherry Cobbler'.  The sentiment circle and mat were punched and attached to the acetate to give the impression that it's 'floating'.

The card folds flat for posting.

There are two prizes of Penny Black stamps, stencil and stickers from Buddly Crafts for the lucky randomly drawn winners.

Dots and Stars

Well, I'm finally getting new posts popping up in my Reading List, not necessarily in chronological order, but at least is much better than none at all.

My masculine card was made for a friend who celebrated his birthday this week.

The card shape was made with a die from the Sizzix 'Card, Circle Flip-Its #2' set.  I used patterned paper from The Range.  The stars were all made with punches.

This shows the back of the swing part of the card.

Our 52nd Wedding Anniversary

Today my hubby and I are celebrating our 52nd Wedding Anniversary and this is the card I made for him.  I've made several Hexagon Pop-Up Cards before using the instructions HERE, but I wanted to make a larger one, so I played around with the measurements to make it much bigger.  

The patterned paper was all snippets and is from a paper pad from The Range.  I used three dies from the Lisa Horton ' Nested Hearts' set.  The small heart is a die cut from Sue Wilson 'Mr and Mrs' set. 

This style of card folds flat if it needs to be posted.
